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, secure and non-safety-related products. These include sensors, controllers and IO and communication modules.
We realise product developments tailored to your 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 take on the system design, complete product development or the realisation of subtasks independently or in close cooperation with your development team.
