Project highlights
RFID reader with 13.56MHz technology for battery-operated access control
A NXP
chip based, energy-saving RFID reader was developed for series production with a yearly amount of 10,000 pieces. A high radio range of the cards was achieved in a very small design by adapting the antenna matching dynamically to the ambient and installation conditions during operation.
High speed hardware design of an Ethernet based fieldbuscoupler
In a small housing with a 10-layer multilayer PCB, the circuit board design was optimized for high volume production, whereby the signal integrity was ensured through design and control measurements. Circuit board costs were optimized by saving pcb pressing steps, which was achieved by detailed knowledge about production and layout design. EMC tests were passed with the first prototype.
Safety-relevant household application for controlling gas valves
A gas appliance in the household sector needed to be fail-safe with two independent electronic hardware errors. This was implemented based on our own risk analysis and FMEAs during the development of the control electronics. The project was realised in close coordination with the customer and the test institutes. Intensive tests and measurements served as evidence for the required safety level.
Systematic failure analysis
The error pattern of a device is unspecific and not reproducible. We systematically recorded existing observations and statements and made hypotheses and put all information in a causal context. Reliability of the information ensures paths with high probabilities that are followed with priority. Additional tests and measurements reproduce the error or refute the hypotheses. The aim is a deeper understanding of the relationships and the safe elimination of the error.
