Development portrait

The requirements for products have changed over the years in many industries – today, they have to be intelligent and networkable. You have the idea, we have the development expertise.

The Internet of Things (IoT), data monitoring, wireless radio networking, Bluetooth mesh, connectivity, building automation – these buzzwords are becoming more and more prevalent in industry. Thanks to our specialists, we are at the centre of it all as your development partner!

interdisciplinary development teams

At STEINEL Solutions, several interdisciplinary development teams work together very successfully. They cover the areas of hardware and firmware development, PCB design, mechanical development, test equipment development and test engineering.

The different areas of specialisation ensure a high degree of flexibility with regard to the field of application and the requirements of the development projects.

If required, the broad expertise of a further 60 engineers from the STEINEL Group can be accessed. Should customer projects require specific areas of expertise that cannot be covered internally or within the group, STEINEL Solutions has a network of external service providers.
