Electronics & Firmware
HOERATH develops customer-specific electronic units – from circuit design and PCB layout through to commissioning, documentation and low-level firmware for demanding applications.
Electronics development with technical depth
Not every application can be sensibly addressed with standard hardware. HOERATH develops electronics and firmware tailored precisely to specific requirements - structured, traceable and aligned with the later use in the system or test process.
From the concept phase to the first article
Our range of services covers consulting, project management, concept development as well as the preparation of requirement and functional specifications. Building on this, electronics development, circuit diagram and PCB layout follow, along with the manufacturing of the electronics unit as a first article. The implementation is rounded out by commissioning and documentation, including the CE conformity assessment procedure.
For circuit design and PCB layout, HOERATH works with Altium Designer and KiCAD, among others. This produces electronics units that are not only technically well thought out, but also cleanly aligned with manufacturing, integration and later use.
Hardware and firmware as a coordinated overall solution
Electronics development does not end with the circuit diagram. What is decisive is the interplay of hardware, function, control and later application. That is why HOERATH combines circuit design, PCB layout, commissioning and low-level firmware into a coordinated technical solution.
Depending on the task, electrical engineering, software applications, control technology, measurement technology, safety and documentation are also incorporated into the implementation. Particularly in special applications and in the environment of test and measurement systems, this creates a robust connection between electronics, function and system integration. The result is customer-specific solutions that work together cleanly in development, test engineering and operation.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
What HOERATH covers in the area of electronics & firmware
From the first technical idea to the ready-to-use electronics unit, HOERATH supports all essential steps of development. This produces solutions in which hardware, PCB layout, firmware and commissioning are structured and coordinated with one another.
Consulting & Concept
Consulting, project management as well as concept development and requirement/functional specifications as the basis for the subsequent implementation.
Circuit design & PCB layout
Development of customer-specific electronics units with circuit diagram and PCB layout - using Altium Designer and KiCAD, among others.
Firmware & function
Low-level software, microcontroller and firmware programming for coordinated functions and technical processes.
First article & commissioning
Manufacturing of the electronics unit as a first article as well as technical commissioning for further validation and application.
Integration & application
Coordination of electronics, control technology, measurement technology and system environment for a robust overall technical solution.
Documentation & CE
Technical documentation including the CE conformity assessment procedure for a clean and traceable implementation.
