Accelerate Development, Testing & Cloud Integration of Your Embedded Systems
Factors such as the compression of computing power, virtualisation, AI and server technologies offer ever-growing potential for the development of electronic systems, their interconnection and data processing. However, this also brings more and more complexity, risks and new challenges to software development. With a systematic approach and reasonable use of tools, this can be easily solved and the potential can be used profitably. Different technology areas and skills must be combined to advantage for that. In addition to our focus on reliability, efficiency and security, this is exactly what sets us apart.
We help you to expand your technological options through our expertise in Embedded Systems, CI/CD, DevSecOps & cloud engineering and to use decisive advantages for your development goals.

"We manufactured Embedded Systems for shared customers in close collaboration. This included the development and first start-ups of various prototypes, assessments of technical feasibility for features requested by customers as well as finding flexible solutions. We always experienced smooth cooperation, appreciated the structured course of action and we look forward to continue working together in the future."
Hans Leibold
PDW Elektronikfertigung GmbH
"We are happy that we found a competent partner for continuing the software development for our ATEMAG Control 4.0 system.The application of our system collects data from sensors and the environment, processes these and sends it to the cloud for use by our customers. Using two different microcontrollers with their own development environments, including cloud integration, results in a specific level of complexity. The complete software development for all components is smoothly continued by demicon and we look forward to further cooperation."
