Design & Development
Know-how
Eutron’s know-how spans a wide variety of market segments and technologies due to its capability of acting as prime contractor and its strong partner network.
The majority of projects are managed internally using Eutron’s capabilities, particularly where strategic technology is involved such as motion control, wireless communication, industrial automation, etc.

Where required, Eutron offers technical support for the development of products and electronic systems, keeping the client's economic objectives in mind, and paying constant attention to industrial costs.
Our technical staff work closely in Joint or Co-designwith our client's development teams, supplying Electronics hardware, Mechanical, firmware, software and mechatronics solutions.
The experience of our design team comes from many years of design activity in both the analogue and digital fields. The design and development teams make extensive use of computer design and simulation techniques to verify design ideas and perform DFX analysis. Eutron can deal with all aspects a development project including:
  • The protection and development of technical know-how and intellectual property and its transfer to the client.
  • Feasibility studies and cost analysis.
  • Innovative Product Development and state of the art solutions.
  • JDM (Joint Design and Manufacturing) and Co-design with the client.
  • Technical support for product certification and testing.
  • Reliability laboratory analysis and life testing (MTBF, FA…).
At Eutron, we like to talk about "cross fertilisation", a process that Eutron promotes heavily.

  • Hardware, firmware and software
    Eutron's Development engineers can develop digital and analogue hardware solutions using: the latest processor technologies such as ARM9, state of the art wireless solutions such as GSM/GPRS/UMTS, DECT, WiFI, Bluetooth and NFC, global positioning technologies egg GPS, Graphic and MMI interface solutions egg. TFT, LCD and VFD, Security Encryption and digital signature technologies, and many other complex product solutions.

    With siginficant experience in real time embedded programming experience, Eutron’s engineers can also support their customers with firmware application development.

    Eutron and also support embedded firmware development or PC application development using Linux, or Windows environments.

    Eutron also supports its customers with a range of casing and enclosure developments from the development of stylish low cost solutions for consumer markets to solutions requiring robust highly protective housings for use in harsh environments and industrial appilications.

  • Cross Fertilization
    Over years of experience and thanks to clients from a range of market segments our engineers have experience a range of varing requirements and solutions including: the highest reliability for the satellite and telecoms sector, resistance to vibration and harsh enviroments for the mechanical textile sector, intrinsic security for the petroleum and railways sector, quality assurance and safety for the electro-medical sector, to EMC immunity for the industrial sector, etc.

    Knowledge and experience gain in other market solution can then be applied to another giving additional benefits to our customer and the final product realisation. For example: Design and manufacturing techniques gained in the development of consumer products to drive out cost in this highly competitive market can be applied to an Industrial product to help reduce costs without compromising the reliability.

  • Reliability Lab
    An essential part of any product design is to ensure the reliability of the product during its life span.The first stage of this is to ensure tight design processes from the moment of product idealisation. In addition to this it is important not only to test the product at its limits of operation but also to predict the possibilty of failure. For this reason, the Reliability Laboratory is an integral part of the Eutron design process.

    Starting with a theoretical calculation methodology, we continue with tests during the design stages, and finish with final product certification and validation.

    Also this laboratory supports the certification testing and compliance requirements necessary for regulations and legislation (EMC, immunity, branding…).
