Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What services does EBS-SYSTART provide?

EBS-SYSTART supports companies in the development and manufacturing of electronic systems. The service portfolio includes hardware development, firmware and embedded software, PC software, IoT solutions, as well as prototyping, small batch production, and medium-scale production.

Does EBS-SYSTART develop custom electronic solutions?

Yes. Each development is tailored to the technical and functional requirements of the specific project. EBS-SYSTART supports the entire development process from the initial idea through to series production.

How much does electronic development cost?

Costs depend on the requirements and complexity of the project. Factors such as hardware scope, software development, interfaces, certifications, and production volume all influence the effort required. Each project is individually evaluated and quoted.

How long does the development of an electronic assembly take?

The project duration depends on scope and complexity. Smaller developments can be completed within a few weeks, while more complex projects may take several months.

When is a feasibility study useful?

A feasibility study allows early validation of functions and technical characteristics. Potential issues and optimization opportunities can be identified before development begins, reducing project risks.

How does an electronics project proceed from idea to series production?

A project begins with requirement analysis, followed by hardware and software development, prototyping, testing and optimization, and finally series production. EBS-SYSTART supports all phases of the process.

What documents are required for electronic development?

Useful inputs include requirement specifications, functional descriptions, block diagrams, circuit schematics, or information about interfaces and operating conditions. Even if requirements are not fully defined, EBS-SYSTART assists in developing the technical specification.

Can existing assemblies or legacy systems be redesigned?

Yes. Existing electronics can be analyzed, modernized, and adapted to new requirements. This may include functional changes, integration of new components, or replacement of obsolete parts.

Does EBS-SYSTART support obsolescence management and component replacement?

Yes. If electronic components are no longer available, suitable alternatives are evaluated and circuits or layouts are adapted where necessary. This helps ensure continued product availability.

Does EBS-SYSTART handle electronics manufacturing as well?

Yes. The in-house production facility manufactures prototypes, small batches, and medium series. This includes SMD and THT assembly, mechanical integration, and various testing procedures.

Is production of small quantities possible?

Yes. EBS-SYSTART manufactures individual prototypes as well as small and medium production runs, making even smaller projects economically viable.

Is contract manufacturing possible without in-house development?

Yes. EBS-SYSTART also manufactures existing assemblies or devices according to customer specifications, including prototypes, small batches, and medium-scale production.

What is the difference between SMD and THT assembly?

In SMD assembly, components are mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB. In THT assembly, components are inserted through holes and soldered. Depending on the application, both methods can be used individually or in combination.

Which microcontrollers and processors are supported?

EBS-SYSTART develops solutions based on a wide range of microcontroller and processor technologies. Suitable platforms from various manufacturers are selected depending on project requirements to ensure optimal performance and long-term availability.

Which technologies and interfaces are supported?

Supported technologies include USB, Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth, CAN, CANopen, RS485, Profinet, mobile communications, and GPS, as well as various industrial communication systems.

Can existing devices be upgraded with wireless technologies such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or cellular connectivity?

Yes. Existing systems can be extended with modern communication interfaces such as WLAN, Bluetooth, mobile networks, or GPS to enable connectivity and additional functionality.

What are the benefits of a dedicated IoT cloud platform?

An IoT cloud platform enables secure data acquisition, monitoring, and analysis of devices. Custom features and flexible adaptation provide centralized management of connected systems.

Can EBS-SYSTART develop custom IoT solutions?

Yes. With the IoT cloud platform IoTART and custom hardware and software development, tailored IoT solutions can be implemented for connected devices and applications.

Does EBS-SYSTART support EMC testing and certifications?

Yes. Compliance with EMC, product safety, and relevant standards is considered during development. Support for testing and certification processes is also provided.

Which industries does EBS-SYSTART serve?

EBS-SYSTART develops solutions for industries including industrial automation, laser technology, robotics, logistics, aerospace, medical technology, computing, and special-purpose machinery.

Are development and manufacturing offered from a single source?

Yes. EBS-SYSTART combines electronics development and manufacturing under one roof, enabling efficient coordination between development and production.

How can I request a project?

Projects can be submitted via the inquiry form or by phone. Requirements are discussed together, and the next steps are defined.
