Embedded & Electronics Engineering: Gateways, Connectivity and IoT Security

/pages/images/embedded-smart-scalable.jpg

Smart and Scalable

Our electronic engineering and embedded experts connect machines of any kind to the internet that were previously offline. This includes the choice of the right communication technology, circuit design and development of firmware as well as preparation and accompaniment. Knowing that several thousands of machines are communicating with cloud infrastructures, IoT Security is an important factor and therefore applied across all processes and handled with the highest priority.

Connectivity Solutions

We realize our electronics and embedded development based on embedded Linux and modern real-time operating system like Zephyr. We develop connectivity solutions for existing hardware, sensor technologies, gateways and completely new products. Our tasks include system integration in third-party systems, device management (firmware update-over-the-air), predictive analytics and predictive maintenance (machine learning), visualization (telemetry), certificate-based security (PKI). Our teams often work closely with the Domain Experts of our clients.

Electronics, Embedded & Firmware

We cover integrations into existing hardware but also develop firmware and its connectivity. Our experts select the components based on your requirements and combine them in the course of circuit designs and PCB layouts. In the process, smooth intercomponent communication is ensured.

Prototyping and Testing

Prototypes from grandcentrix reduce project risks because they are based on validated assumptions and carried out under real conditions. With economically justifiable effort, we ensure a clear understanding of the effort required for productization.

Protocols and Platforms

Embedded Linux, Buildroot, Zephyr, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Silicon Labs, Nordic Semiconductor, Espressif Systems, KNX, DALI, CAN Bus.

Our Partnerships

One of our aspirations for quality has always been to work with the most recent standards and technologies. As a member of many alliances and networks of technology-partnerships we are able to work with a very high quality of standards.

End to End from one source

With us you are able to focus the vision for your product, instead of wasting valuable time and effort into multi partner management. It eliminates coordination problems and makes us responsible for the sucess.

Interesting Facts

To ensure security for every step of a development (hardware to cloud), Microsoft presents Azure Sphere (based on Linux Kernel) which is a solution for connected products based on microcontrollers (MCU). They comply with the demands for highly secure edge devices (Microsoft Research Whitepaper).
