Hardware Development

Electrical and electronic systems always include hardware components. If you want to develop a hardware module, e.g. for a controller or a sensor, but lack the know-how or simply the development capacity, then NTC Systems is the right place for you. Our engineers are always looking forward to developing new hardware. Tackling new projects is always exciting.

• Are you looking for a partner for the independent development of a hardware component?
• Do you need support with the design and implementation of your hardware?
• Do you need support in analyzing your hardware with regard to quality standards or safety norms?
• Should your hardware be optimized or supplemented with regard to quality standards or safety norms?

The engineers at NTC Systems advise and support you through all phases of hardware development. You can even entrust us with the complete hardware development you need. We develop the hardware components you need according to your requirements and specifications. Our experts also think proactively during the specification phase. Our ideas and proposed solutions have often optimized a concept or a procedure, because we are experienced across many industrial sectors, especially in safety-critical systems.

Development of safety-relevant hardware – specify, develop, test

Our services cover the independent implementation of hardware development as well as consulting and support in hardware development across all phases. We also assemble the hardware into a prototype so that real physical tests can be carried out.

Requirements – analyze, prioritize, document

• This includes the analysis and prioritization of hardware requirements.
• We help with structuring and documenting the requirements (SRS creation).

Hardware architecture – design, build, define behavior

• We design the structure and behavior of the hardware.
• Or we can support you in designing the structure and behavior of the hardware
  • Physical components
  • Logical components
  • Their interfaces
  • Observance of the performance criteria
• We advise and support the implementation of redundancies for fail-safe mechanisms and fault diagnosis mechanisms.
• We carry out safety analyses based on your hardware architecture, e.g. FMEDA

Detailed Design – specify, implement, review

• Here we create a detailed design at module level.
• We advise and support you in specifying the hardware modules and defining the interfaces in detail.
• By carrying out reviews, we help to provide tested modules for further steps.

Hardware-Testing – plan, check, verify

• We specify test cases and carry out tests at all levels of the hardware.
• We advise you on the definition of test plans, test coverage, test processes and support you in the specification of test cases.
• When carrying out hardware tests (verification), we support
  1. at module level | Hardware Design Verification
  2. at integration level | Hardware Integration and Testing
  3. for the complete hardware | Hardware Qualification Testing
     • Functional tests under realistic operating conditions
     • Environmental impact and thermal tests
     • Mechanical tests for mechanical stability
     • Electrical tests regarding parameters, residual current and short-circuit resistance
     • EMC tests for electromagnetic compatibility
