Swiss Engineering
Competence.

When we talk about Swiss engineering expertise at Solve, we don’t just focus on the quality of the solution, but on the overall added value that we offer you with our made in Switzerland service throughout the course of the project.

Electronics Engineering

The question is simple and yet essential: what function is your product intended to perform? From this perspective, we look for potential technical solutions – and not the other way around. Together with you, we come up with a detailed concept for your upcoming product.

We realise complete electronic assemblies and devices for you, design hardware and software solutions in industrial electronics and manage your project until the system is ready for series production. You also benefit from our network of specialists and close collaboration with universities in the region. This gives us not only fast and direct access to in-depth knowledge but also allows us to use the highly specialised laboratory infrastructure.

Conception

Design and Layout

A well-thought-out design is the basis for a good product. With our knowledge and the expertise of our partner Variosystems, we take your product idea through from the first draft to the final industrialised product.

Simulations support the development process and can massively reduce the development time. In this way, we ensure that all components work properly and fit together right from the beginning.

Main focus

Schematic design (analogue and digital)
Calculation and dimensioning, simulation, reliability calculation
Printed circuit board design

Embedded Systems SW/Firmware

At the heart of any electronic system is usually a high-performance processor with comprehensive software. Consequently, software engineering is a central part of electronics development. With our experience in software and electronics, we ensure that all components in your system work properly together

Main focus

Firmware for different controllers (without OS, with RTOS, Linux Embedded)
Interfaces and communication technologies
Web applications for embedded systems
Software for mobile and embedded systems
FPGA based solutions (with Linux Embedded)

Testing, standards and certificates

Hardly anyone enjoys this side of the business, and yet standards and regulations are an essential part of product development. We will be pleased to advise you in the development of a product that is compliant with the regulations and to arrange for the necessary certifications with our partners.

Main focus

Certifications and approvals (CE / UL)
EMC testing
Environmental simulations (IP, vibration, climate)
Calibrations, certification (temperature, humidity, acceleration)

Prototyping

Product launch and industrialisation

Test engineering

Equally essential in product development are well thought-out testing concepts. Precise error messages, automated testing and logging of device parameters are valuable not only during development but also in series production and will save costs in the long term.

Our partner, Variosystems, provides the right test system for every test requirement. Economically optimised tests can thus be performed for each product, guaranteeing stability and fulfilling your requirements.

Main focus

Production of individual pieces or small series
Commissioning
Tests, pre-testing

Mechanical Engineering

Our team of engineers will provide you with the ideal housing for any application, specifically customised to meet the specifications of your product. In addition, we deliver complete mechanical assemblies and individual devices for you. For more complex mechanics, we access our highly reputable network of partnerships and apply the finishing touches to your product.

Concept

Based on your specifications, requirements and wishes, we define the functions and their necessary operating principles. Using the ‘morphological box’ design methodology, we establish a solid and clear basis for different solution variants, evaluating, comparing and ranking them. In a presentation of the results, we discuss the developed concepts with you and set the first milestone for your project.

Main focus

Formulation of functions, operating principles and functional structures
Creation of a morphological box
Comparing and evaluating solution options
Creation of the flowchart

Draft design

We work out the first drafts for the approved concept together with their effective structures and outlines of the functions, perform error control and investigate the impact of disturbance variables. In addition to the technical issues, we consider the environmental aspects and include them in our analysis. In this way, we bring man, nature and technology into harmony and create the first draft design for your idea.

Main focus

Design of the effective structures
Design of the outlines
Function and error control
Evaluation of disturbance variables

Standards audit

Auditing standards, regulations and certificates may indeed be a challenging task. Nevertheless, it is an absolutely essential one. We will be pleased to advise you on the way to making your product compliant with the regulations. If you wish, we can also take responsibility for obtaining the required certifications and approvals for the product.

Main focus

Standards audit
Certifications and approvals

CAD & Prototype

From this point on, there is only one “small” step to the first tangible product. Using a professional CAD tool, we convert your vision into a three-dimensional design and then use additive manufacturing processes to allow you to experience the prototype up close.

Main focus

Design, taking product retrofitting, longevity and repair into account
Simulation (statics, motion, fatigue)
Materials selection, taking recyclability and sustainability into consideration
Drawing design (assembly instructions)
Manufacturing of functional prototypes

Product launch & Industrialisation

Software Engineering

Knowledge grows. Since Solve has been in existence, we have successfully implemented a large number of diverse projects in software development.

This is thanks to the experience of our engineers, our structured approach and realistic appraisal of situations. We support you in the creation and redesign of your software, from concept to finished application. We are driven by the same motives as for our own products: good software must be clear, simple, user-friendly and target-oriented to ensure that you enjoy using it.

Analysis and Design

User Interface Design

Implementation

The expertise of our innovative and highly motivated engineers, combined with the use of state-of-the-art technologies and tools, guarantees that your software project is in good hands with us. High-quality software does have its price, but in the long term, the investment is well worth it and usually already pays off with the first modification or extension.

Main focus

Mobile applications
Web technologies
Client and server applications
Databases
Communication protocols, bus systems, network technologies
Embedded software

Testing / Continuous Integration

We use the most modern test methods and test tools available. These ensure that the correct function is perfectly guaranteed during development, as well as in later use. Your software is well prepared for commercial use.

During the implementation of the integration project, we always focus on the subsequent operation to guarantee the proper interaction of different applications. We only bring your software to market when we know that it will function reliably and correctly.

Main focus

Source code management
Automated build server
Unit testing
Load testing
Integration testing

Deployment and System Integration

Impulse-Workshop

“Search and wait” – this is the fundamental attitude of many industrial companies when it comes to digitalisation. Always with the vision of self-configuring systems and the ability to forecast in mind. But all that will come much later. It is now important to view Industry 4.0 as an accelerator of lean manufacturing.

This is exactly where our impulse workshops come in. Rather than imparting knowledge and skills, we work with you to develop solutions based on the current situation. What counts is the outside perspective and the new impulses that can provide surprising approaches.

What we offer

Workshop for management members and decision-makers

What does Industry 4.0 stand for in your company or your department
Where does your company stand in terms of digitalisation and «Ready for Industry 4.0»»
What steps should be taken to strengthen the market position

Workshops for technicians and product managers

How can you use existing data
What data is missing for my specific applications
What does the corresponding business model look like
How do I proceed
