Complete solutions from a single source.
We develop complete system solutions and products, including reliable and functionally safe electronic controls, drives, and sensors, as well as their firmware and software. For mobile applications, we take into account customer-specific requirements and the relevant standards in the respective target markets: From agricultural and forestry machinery to construction machinery and mobile machines, as well as special and municipal vehicles, to small electric vehicles such as e-bikes.
Wherever robust and intelligent control, sensor, and actuator solutions provide greater safety and relief for the operator, e.g., through semi-autonomous or autonomous solutions, we are a competent and reliable partner. We develop efficiently, based on innovative and proven technologies:
- Electrification and digitalization of previously mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic solutions
- Industry 4.0: IIoT and networking of components in the system (e.g., precision farming, smart farming, M2M communication)
- Control and networking of autonomous machines
- Predictive maintenance, remote services, condition monitoring
Development services.
From a holistic view through system engineering to individual components, we develop hardware, software, and mechanical solutions. This includes the complete life cycle from specification and verification to life cycle management. We demonstrate compliance with requirements through our certification service for functional safety, embedded security, and radio approvals.
embeX was the first company worldwide to be awarded the highest maturity level for functional safety management (FSM) according to IEC 61508 by TÜV Rheinland.
