EmbeddedArchitecture Industrial Embedded Product Development

Hardware, firmware and industrialization

We turn embedded ideas into industrial products.

EmbeddedArchitecture supports companies that need custom electronics, connected devices and embedded platforms ready for prototyping, validation and small-series production.

Embedded development

The right contract target

The realistic high-value goal is not occasional firmware work. It is a continuous R&D and product-development partnership with industrial companies that need an embedded product, a connected control platform or a production-ready redesign.

Best-fit client

OEMs, machine builders, lighting companies, automation integrators and industrial teams with a product idea, an old system to upgrade or a prototype that must become reliable.

Best-fit contract

A 6-12 month technical partnership covering architecture, hardware redesign, firmware, connectivity, validation and the first production loop.

What to avoid

Low-budget experiments, body rental, pure hourly support and one-off Arduino-style prototypes. The value is in owning the product path, not only writing code.

Capabilities that matter to industrial teams

Simple language, real engineering work: electronic design, embedded firmware, wireless and wired communication, testing, enclosure-aware design and production preparation.

Embedded hardware

  • PCB architecture and redesign
  • Power supply and interface design
  • Sensor, relay, motor and I/O integration
  • Compact devices and DIN-rail/gateway formats

Firmware and connectivity

  • STM32, Nordic nRF, ESP32 and PIC platforms
  • UART, I2C, SPI, RS485, DALI and Modbus-ready systems
  • BLE, WiFi, LoRa, LTE, Thread and OpenThread
  • MQTT, OTA updates and cloud integration

Industrialization support

  • Prototype validation and redesign for assembly
  • Small-series production preparation
  • Manual assembly line and in-house SMD capability
  • Test strategy, fixtures and production feedback loops

Selected work

Projects are presented without customer names. The focus is on the technical problem, the system architecture and the industrial value created.

Distributed lighting platform

OpenThread and DALI control system

A modular lighting control platform with ESP32-H2 nodes, DALI interface, MEMS sensing, Zhaga connector options, indoor variants and a gateway with border-router architecture.

The system combines field nodes, gateway infrastructure, LTE connectivity, digital inputs, dual Ethernet and local storage, creating a complete industrial IoT platform rather than a single device.

Compact control device

Multi-protocol industrial edge controller

A compact controller based on ESP32-C6 with WiFi, BLE, Thread, two onboard relays and wide-range input power. A micro-connector provides I2C expansion for analog/digital sensors and additional outputs.

The product direction is ideal for retrofit, smart automation, distributed control and OEM private-label applications.

Industrial gateway

Field gateway and border-router hardware

Gateway board with multiple communication interfaces, LTE modem support, dual Ethernet, USB hub, RTC, opto-isolated digital inputs and SD-card storage.

This kind of system is designed for field deployment, remote access, mesh-network supervision and integration between local devices and cloud services.

Machine control

Control board for plastic-bottle compactor

Single-board controller for a machine using 230VAC and 24VDC motors, with current sensing and safety logic.

The firmware supports anti-crushing behavior, fault prediction and machine-stop reduction, turning the control board into a reliability layer for the equipment.

From prototype to production loop

The strongest commercial message is the link between design and making. EmbeddedArchitecture can develop the electronics and understand what happens when the first units must actually be assembled, tested and improved.

Architecture

Define the electronic blocks, interfaces, communication strategy and product constraints before drawing the board.

Prototype

Build working hardware and firmware quickly, with enough structure to validate the real product direction.

Validation

Test power, communication, firmware behavior, edge cases and physical integration with the target enclosure.

Production feedback

Use assembly and test constraints to redesign the product for reliability, repeatability and cost control.

What we do

The message is not "we can design a PCB". The message is: we can help your company create, upgrade and industrialize an embedded product.

  • For an R&D manager: a practical partner who can reduce technical uncertainty.
  • For an OEM: a team that can build a custom electronic platform instead of a generic prototype.
  • For an industrial company: a route from field problem to connected device and production-ready hardware.
