Your partner for customised system solutions

Our client, active in the gaming industry, required a realistic wheel-based driving simulator for high-performance racing simulation systems. The project required expertise in software, hardware and embedded systems to provide a responsive and realistic driving experience.

Our client, a major player in the electric vehicle industry, required comprehensive engineering services for the development of an electrical inverter control unit. The project aimed to integrate mechanical, hardware and software aspects while complying with industry standards such as ASPICE, AUTOSAR and ISO 26262 to ensure safety and reliability.

Our client, a leader in electric vehicle technology, required verification and validation of inverter designs to ensure reliability and performance in demanding automotive applications, including extensive testing of inverter prototypes during development and in-depth analysis of any early failures during product launch. The aim was to identify potential problems at an early stage, validate design accuracy and provide reliable performance data to support a successful product launch.

The search for the right edge computing power or a suitable gateway can be a challenge given the sheer complexity of the market. Developers and manufacturers of industrial applications are faced with the decision of choosing the right technology today in order to achieve the desired performance and connectivity tomorrow. Ideally without technical restrictions or obvious financial risks, for example if conversions and upgrades become necessary at a later date. HEITEC utilises the possibilities of plug-on technology with HeiSys for a multi-scalable and future-oriented system solution that offers almost countless possibilities.

HEITEC supports a leading eye laser company with innovative electronics development, testing technology and the design and integration of medical PCs for the customer's end application. The laser in the system is used for refractive surgery and is used to treat short- and long-sightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.

LEDs have numerous advantages. They ensure greater colour fidelity, show almost no changes in brightness, reduce weight by around 30 percent, consume around 50 percent less power and last much longer. This leads to improved lighting quality for passengers when dimming and ensures a pleasant on-board atmosphere and therefore greater comfort for passengers. HEITEC developed an adapter device that controls the LEDs. The requirements were developed together with the customer.

Aircraft test system with a modular real-time system for testing and integrating safety-critical products. Fields of application are the testing of software modules for aircraft equipment and virtual system integration when it comes to imitating extreme situations that cannot be realised in reality.

Powerful infrastructures are needed to realise network expansion even in remote areas of far-flung countries. HEITEC has developed a high-end system platform for the market leader in lasers for fibre optic cables and telecommunications solutions. The platform is a network node (hub) that receives and distributes the various signals of a DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex) network. Up to 96 signals with different wavelengths are transmitted via fibre optic pairs. With appropriate optical amplifiers, transmission distances of up to 1000 km can be achieved at transmission rates of up to 10 Gbit/s per channel. The requirements for transmission performance per slot, reliability, high availability and simple maintenance are correspondingly high.

HEITEC has realised a cost-efficient housing for a provider of communication solutions, which uses standard components as far as possible, but has been modified as necessary and as required.

The lightning measurement device detects and analyses all the important parameters of lightning impulse currents in order to provide a better basis for making maintenance decisions. Offshore wind turbines in particular require a robust, reliable system due to the demanding climatic conditions on the high seas and the vibrations that occur at the installation site.

HEITEC has developed and manufactured a complete system control solution for HVDC (high voltage direct current transmission) systems for one of its customers in the energy technology sector, which centrally controls power modules via fibre optic cables.

In close cooperation with its customer, a supplier of electronics for railway technology, HEITEC developed a universally applicable housing and system solution that can be used for various applications in trains. Thanks to its modular design, it can be flexibly adapted to the respective application and enables simple built-to-order configuration.

HEITEC has applied its extensive expertise to design and manufacture the electronics for a laboratory device for a leading specialist supplier of spectrophotometers. The customer manufactures spectrophotometric instruments for analysing samples in very small volumes, which are used in particular in biological, chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories.

HEITEC supports a leading supplier of medical technology products in the integration of industrial computers for the customer's end application. The linear accelerator is used for radiotherapy in cancer treatment. The medical computer forms the control console for the entire system. The control console controls and monitors all functions of the linear accelerator. The radiologist's or oncologist's radiotherapy plans are technically implemented in the system and all safety functions are guaranteed. All information and data from the linear accelerator is collated in the medical PC and can therefore be monitored in real time.

Material dosing systems are in great demand in the industry due to the increasing miniaturisation of all electronics and the associated tasks and applications for the precise dosing of adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other materials. HEITEC supplies a manufacturer of such dosing systems with the central control unit, which is specially customised to the customer's own valves.

Devices for medical technology applications are in a strictly regulated market and are therefore subject to stringent requirements. HEITEC manufactures the complete neurostimulator for one of its customers - an innovative company specialising in the research and development of electromagnetic stimulators.

HEITEC has realised a cost-effective housing for one of the world's leading technology providers in the field of high-performance industrial image processing, which consists largely of standard components and has been fully adapted to the customer's requirements with just a few modifications.

On behalf of a customer, HEITEC has designed a compact, multifunctional system that simultaneously functions as a control unit, gateway and output unit. The device is suitable for connecting various analogue devices, linking sensors and controllers as well as connectivity to the cloud. Many communication interfaces and protocols as well as fieldbuses such as PROFIBUS or PROFINET are supported. This means that the required data is accessible at all times. The system enables connection to various cloud solutions such as IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure and others, as well as connection to MES systems on site.

In order to ensure a very high level of reliability, no rotating components are normally permitted in railway technology, so that possible causes of damage are minimised. A HEITEC customer had planned the use of a higher-performance CPU for one of its existing systems in the railway sector In order to ensure a very high level of reliability, no rotating components are normally permitted in railway technology, so that possible causes of damage are minimised. A HEITEC customer had planned the use of a higher-performance CPU for one of its existing systems in the railway sector. This significantly more powerful CPU had to be cooled due to the high heat development. This required the use of fans that were not provided for in the previous system.

Extremely high precision and very good image results are required for the exposure of printed circuit boards. This is why Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) systems are used here, whose laser beam is focussed on a circuit board coated with lacquer, exposing it. Very high demands are placed on such systems with regard to cleanroom specifications. They must also function with the utmost precision and be extremely fail-safe. Temperature management with regard to high currents, ventilation and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are therefore important aspects.

HEITEC supports a leading company in industrial X-ray technology with inspection technology, as well as the design and integration of industrial computers for the customer's end application. The fully automated X-ray system X-rays aluminium rims immediately after production to detect inclusions and other defects. Damaged rims can thus be identified and sorted out. The X-ray system itself uses an industrial robot and a degradation-free detector in conjunction with state-of-the-art image analysis software. The robot grips the rim and holds it at defined angles in front of the sensor. This enables almost pseudo-error-free evaluation of the results, including stable image quality.

Mobile, internet-supported data acquisition and corresponding communication tools have become indispensable in the production of many industrial companies. HEITEC therefore developed a system solution for one of its customers that enabled complex measurement data acquisition as part of the internal production of liquid filter systems. High standards applied to both the electronics and the mechanics. The systems had to function reliably even in the event of high temperature fluctuations and strong shocks and vibrations. Furthermore, insensitivity to splash water, dust and lubricants was required. Taking into account the technical specifications, the systems also had to be as easy to maintain as possible.
