Electronics development from idea to finished product
We develop and manufacture electronics for machine builders, manufacturers and start-ups: from the idea through schematic, circuit board and software to series. On request we connect them to controls and fieldbus systems.
Technology at a glance
What we develop for you
Planning and design
We design the electronics for your application.
Schematic and circuit design
We design the circuit to fit your application.
PCB layout
Layout and build of the circuit board, ready for prototype and series.
Software and firmware
For microcontrollers from Microchip, Atmel and ST.
Operating concept and HMI
So your product is intuitive to use, with clear messages on the display.
Connection to fieldbus systems
Thanks to our experience in machine building, we connect your product to common fieldbus systems.
Prototypes
Prototypes in electronics and mechanics: you test the product before series production starts.
Schematic
Layout
Board
From idea to product
Discuss the idea
You describe your idea, we clarify requirements and feasibility. Sketches, samples, data sheets or an existing device are helpful.
Develop
Schematic, layout, circuit board and software from a single source. We agree on interim results with you.
Prototype
You test a working device before series production starts. What we learn in testing goes into the series.
Manufacturing
In Buchs SG we manufacture your device, from the first sample to series.
Deliver and keep developing
We deliver the finished product and, on request, develop the next version with you.
What it takes to get started
You do not need to know everything. The more you already have, the faster we can come up with a viable proposal.
The idea in one sentence
What should the product do, and for whom?
Environment and use
Indoors or outdoors, temperature, humidity, vibration?
Interfaces
Which devices, sensors or controls should it talk to?
Operation
Who operates it and how: display, buttons, remote access?
Quantity and schedule
Roughly how many units, and by when should it be ready for use?
Existing material
Sketches, samples, data sheets, an existing device or a photo.
Something missing? No problem, we clarify it together in the first conversation.
Manufacturing in Buchs
We manufacture in Buchs SG. Every product is tested before delivery.
Assembly
Boards
Microscope workstation
Single units and prototypes
For evaluation, special machines and first samples.
Small series
Up to about 100 pieces.
Series
Of hundreds to thousands of pieces.
Who we develop for
Machine and plant builders
Who need their own electronics for their machines.
Start-ups
With a product idea.
Manufacturers
Who want to develop or replace their own device.
Mid-sized industry
That needs replacements for components that are no longer available.
Examples from our work
KECKEX GmbH
New operating concept: modern PCB, intuitive HMI, components quickly swappable in the field.
Kaiser ID AG
Pulse counter prototype that adds a signal socket to older tractors.
Stern-Garage GmbH
Control unit for engine cooling: two fan outputs up to 400 A, freely configurable cooling curves.
PANDA Solutions AG
Bidirectional signal converter between I²C and RS232.
Fieldwork AG
Overcurrent and short-circuit monitoring with an adjustable switch-off delay.
From our own house: smart home
We use our technology ourselves. The needs of our own house led to boards for communication and smart home.
Heating and energy
Boards that communicate with heating, inverter and smart meter.
eBUS, M-Bus, RS485
The buses these devices talk over.
LED light show
Control of NeoPixel LEDs.

Frequently asked questions
What does electronics development cost?
It depends on the project. In a first, personal conversation we clarify together which approach suits your project, including costs. We deliberately do not list prices here.
How does the collaboration work?
We work as partners: you tell us your idea, we show what is possible, and we develop together. Everything else, such as rights and terms, we clarify at the start of the project in a personal conversation.
How many units can you manufacture?
From single units and prototypes through small series up to about 100 pieces to series of hundreds to thousands.
Do you only develop the board or also the software?
Both: schematic, circuit board, firmware and, on request, the operating concept with display.
Can you replace or rebuild an existing device?
We check whether a replacement or rebuild is possible, for example when a component is no longer available.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope and complexity. After the first conversation we give you a realistic schedule.
Will my idea stay confidential?
We treat your idea confidentially. On request we sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Do you also work for customers outside Switzerland?
Yes. Our customers and partners include companies in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, Belgium and Spain.
Aren't you too small a team for my project?
We are three people and deliberately set up that way: efficient, highly automated and with short paths. You speak directly with the people who implement your idea.
