Technical illustration: IoT device development

CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT

Developing IoT devices – from electronics to antennas.

We develop networked wireless hardware for sensors, data loggers, trackers and smart metering systems. The radio part, microcontroller, sensors, supply, circuit board and antenna are tailored to the housing, location and operating requirements. You can commission us with a completely new development, the optimization of an existing device or the integration of a suitable series component.

01 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

Define radio and device concept

We start with the measurement task, data transmission, type of supply, installation space and installation situation. This determines which radio standard and which antenna concept suits the application. The choice is not made solely on the data sheet of a radio chip: the environment, battery, metal parts and intended installation determine the achievable radio performance.

02 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

Lay out the electronics, circuit board and antenna together

We select radio components, microcontrollers, supply and sensor components and develop circuit diagrams and PCB layouts. The antenna is designed taking into account the device housing, battery, ground plane and mounting or is derived from a suitable existing solution.

03 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

Test the device in its actual installed state

We build functional prototypes and test the radio hardware in the intended enclosure and mounting configuration. Based on the results, we optimize the antenna, power supply, RF path and layout. To coordinate firmware, evaluation electronics and your data connection, we define the required hardware interfaces and test states with your team.

04 / TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

From functional model to agreed series implementation

We prepare circuitry, layout and antenna integration for reproducible manufacturing and testing. For suitable products, we can handle mass production including technical production support. The scope of firmware, app, backend and external approval tests will be expressly agreed with you.

THREE WAYS TO THE RIGHT SOLUTION

New development. Optimization of existing designs. Product customization.

01

New development

We develop geometry, circuitry and integration based on your frequency bands, installation conditions and measurable target values.

02

Optimization

We analyze existing samples and documents, determine the cause of losses or inadequate performance and implement targeted changes.

03

Product customization

We check an existing Sevskiy solution and adjust frequency tuning, connections or installation. We can handle mass production upon request.

OUR APPROACH

From the requirement profile to the tested version.

  1. 01

    Requirements and interfaces

    We clarify the frequency plan, installation space, mechanical environment, supply, connections and test criteria. Existing CAD, circuit and measurement data are incorporated.

  2. 02

    Design and simulation

    We compare suitable concepts, design the circuit or geometry, and simulate critical electromagnetic structures and transitions.

  3. 03

    Sample and metrological comparison

    We build prototypes, measure under defined conditions and fine-tune the design based on the comparison between the model and the real structure.

  4. 04

    Release and mass production

    We document the agreed design and test plan. Production support and management of mass production are agreed as required.

YOUR RESULT

Technically documented and ready for the next step.

You will receive the agreed device hardware with circuit and layout documents, coordinated antenna, functional samples and measurement data. A delimited radio integration or the optimization of an existing device is just as possible as a new customer-specific IoT assembly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical questions about collaboration.

Do you only develop the antenna or also the radio?

Both are possible. We process individual antenna and RF paths as well as the hardware of a new radio module with microcontroller, supply, sensors and interfaces.

Can an existing device continue to be used?

Yes. We check the existing circuit, circuit board, housing and antenna. Depending on the findings, changed matching, a different antenna position, a layout redesign or an adapted series antenna may be sufficient.

Are firmware, cloud and app automatically included?

The specific software scope and data connection are agreed separately. We coordinate hardware interfaces, required test states and integration with your software team.
