We deliver a complete range of engineering services to fit your project needs. We’re here to help you succeed.
Solutions
Combining pieces to a finished product can be a challenge
We help you from the first idea to a finished product, combining all disciplines to form the ideal solution for you.
Starting from the first idea, we devise a specification, create the first mechanical mock-ups and evaluate the usability with you. During development, we take care of everything from electronics to the enclosure to the firmware. Depending on your volume (starting from 1 piece), we device a plan for production, that fits your needs.
For higher quantity production volumes, we help you evaluate independent volume manufacturer, to ensure that you get the best price and a compliant tender process.
A typical full-service development looks like this:
- Requirements engineering with the customer
- Mechanical / Electronic concept design or proof-of-concept development
- Specification generation and development price calculation
- Specification review with the customer
- Engineering of A-samples
- Pre-certification & qualification
- Review & release by the customer
- Engineering for B-samples
- Certification & qualification

Logic
A CPU has limited computing power, an FPGA can break that boundary
- Especially for image and video processing applications it is very hard to find a suitable hardware platform. Our unique experience with FPGA gives us the possibility to do most image processing task with at low power and moderately low cost.
This can range from simple multi-camera system, to complex 3D scanners.
We have ready made solutions for:
- Data conversion (MIPI CSI/DSI to parallel, MIPI to MIPI, MIPI to LVDS, …)
- Multi camera stitching at high resolutions
- RAW image handling (debayering, colorspace conversion, …)
- MIPI-CSI/DSI receivers/repeaters/retimers/converters
- Image sensor timing and control
- Image (pre-) processing with user defined filters
- Runtime programming of the FPGA
- Interface like USB 2.0/3.0 (incl. USB UVC)
Services
