Complete solutions from a single source.
As a development service provider, we support you in making your customers' buildings smarter and more digital. We develop your product for building automation, with electronic components, firmware and suitable housings.
We have many years of experience in the design, development and verification of functionally safe and secure products, as well as non-safety-related products, including sensors, controllers, IO modules and communication modules.
We implement product developments tailored to your specific application efficiently and on schedule. Our stable and mature development processes ensure the highest quality. During development, we use embeX's own tool landscape or access your tool environment. We can take on the system design, complete product development or implementation of sub-tasks independently or in close cooperation with your development team.
