Dev4me
Custom development, integrations and technical projects – from the circuit board to the cloud. We build the systems for which there is no product off the shelf.
Two domains
Most problems sit neither in the software nor in the hardware, but exactly in between. We work on both sides of the interface – which is why we do not have to guess it.
Electrical engineering
Circuit design, printed circuit boards, microcontrollers, measurement, actuators and fieldbuses. We build prototypes you can touch, measure and test.
Information technology
Business applications, APIs, data models, analysis and operation. So that measurements turn into decisions – traceable and maintainable.
Services
Select a channel to read the service. Each one can be commissioned on its own – in practice they usually interlock.
Select a channel to read the service
Applications for processes that no standard product covers – tailored to your terminology, your rules and your exceptions.
Joining two systems that know nothing about each other into one process – reliably, traceably and without manual steps in between.
Software for devices: microcontrollers, sensors, actuators and communication – where milliseconds and milliamps count.
From circuit design to a measurable functional prototype – the fastest route to a sound technical decision.
Devices that transmit reliably, and a counterpart that turns raw values into usable states.
A sound answer to the question of whether and how a plan holds up – before a budget depends on it.
Approach
Technical projects rarely fail because of the code, but because of unclear assumptions. That is why we measure early and deliver in stages you can stop at.
A conversation about the problem, not about technology. At the end there is one question whose answer decides the project.
The critical assumption is tested – with a small rig, a load test or a data analysis.
Architecture, interfaces and circuit concept on two pages. Enough to put a figure on effort and risk.
Implementation in short increments with working intermediate versions. You see progress, not status reports.
Connection to existing systems, testing with real data, training for the people who will work with it later.
Monitoring, maintenance and further development – or an orderly handover to your team.
Prototyping
A prototype is not a preliminary version of the solution but a measuring instrument: it answers the one question the project hangs on – before a budget hangs on it.
A rig that shows the critical function – no enclosure yet, but real measurements.
Reproducible measurement series instead of gut feeling: you see limits, tolerances and margins.
Documented results, a cost envelope and a clear recommendation: carry on, build it differently or drop it.
Workbench
Tools are a means, not an end. We choose them by asking who is meant to maintain the system in five years.
Frequently asked questions
It is less the size that decides than the deviation. If a process is essential to your business and no standard product covers it without detours, in-house development often pays off with just a handful of workstations. If, on the other hand, there is an established product that hits 90 per cent, we will say so – and would rather help with the integration.
Both. We design circuits, lay out printed circuit boards and build functional prototypes – and we write the firmware and the application to go with them. For series production, approvals and certification we work together with partners and support the handover.
That is exactly the normal case. We begin with a conversation about the problem and write a short technical assessment from it. If an assumption is unclear, we settle it in a small stage of its own – only after that do effort and schedule take shape.
You do. Source code, schematics, layout data and documentation pass into your ownership together with the project. We work with widely used tools and open formats so that you are not dependent on us.
Yes. Usually we begin with a review: what exists, what is sound, where does the risk lie? From that comes a recommendation – continue, repair selectively or replace. This assessment is usable even without a follow-up assignment.
We are based in Grenchen and work in Switzerland, Germany and Austria – mostly remote, and on site for measurements, commissioning and workshop work. Communication in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish.
A short outline is enough: what happens today, what should happen and where it gets stuck. We reply with an initial technical assessment – free of charge and without a sales pitch.
