Development: a question of trust

For over 40 years, we have been partners to our clients, developing electronic or electromechanical solutions with our customers – in close consultation, side by side, solution-oriented and cost-conscious.

Integrated: development and production

The experts at MCS have been transforming customer wishes and ideas into innovative and successful products for decades. Our experienced engineers and high-tech developers specialise in implementing customer-specific tasks safely and quickly. Like this we can ensure optimum results in terms of functionality, energy consumption, ease of use and quality.

Project management: everything from a single source

Whether it is the realisation of complex systems, the modification of assemblies or the reworking of an existing product (e.g. re-design of a circuit) for the most diverse applications, we support and realise them.

Starting with the brainstorming, the concept development up to the production. From circuit design and component selection to the conception of functional tests, approval support and certification.

The optimal hardware and software for your application

We develop individual solutions according to your specifications. Whether based on programmable logics, microcontrollers, processors (x86, ARM) or embedded solutions, you will receive a viable concept.

Product planning, development and design are carried out in close cooperation with you.

MCS services

  • Consulting and requirements analysis
  • Feasibility studies
  • Conception and specification
  • Conceptual design and preparation of functional specifications
  • Integration: hardware (electronic, electromechanical, interface adaptation), software (operation, management/backend), mechanics (conceptual design, installation space optimisation)
  • Verification and nomination of components and peripherals
  • Determination of quality requirements
  • Determination of test conditions (hardware & software)
  • Prototyping and sampling (mechanics, e.g. 3D printing processes)
  • Final transition into serial manufacture
  • Certification and approval
  • Creation of the test environment and set-up
  • Documentation
  • Hardware solutions: Develop, expand, integrate, test

    There is a lot more to hardware than just controls in the form of circuit boards or carrier boards for COM modules.

    The mechanical conception, the right choice of form factor, an optimal adaptation to the installation space and a wiring that is as efficient as possible are also essential aspects with regard to sustainability and long-term maintenance of the final product.

    The overall functionality is always the priority.

  • Software solutions: Develop, adapt, monitor

    Several components have their own functionalities, and in most cases the interaction of all components with regard to the desired functionality does not exist via plug & play. This is where we come in and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

    We create application-specific firmware and software based on LINUX or WIN operating systems. Starting at device drivers, over remote update functionalities up to backend management systems or Cloud solutions.

  • Integration: assemblies, devices and systems

    Are additional peripherals required to match the final application?

    The software and hardware components we develop are integrated into your application with a wide variety of interfaces. For this, we also create solutions with diverse ideas and options through our wide-ranging know-how for integration into your devices.

    Integration: an essential part of our development tasks. Requirements do not restrict us, they inspire us and define the terrain within which we can be creative. This is where we can bring in our strengths, use our experience and give free rein to our imagination. Without this challenge, there would be no edge for us to look over.

    Many years of experience: the journey to compact solutions

    Throughout the years MCS has earned an outstanding reputation with its low-energy (minimised energy consumption) and thermal printer solutions.

    This has resulted in exciting products, such as power-saving UMTS, LTE and 5G modems, the high-quality Edito kiosk printer or charging controller and the phase changeover controller APUM for the e-mobility sector.

     

    We integrate any form of operating elements

    Today, the simple and user-friendly operation of devices and machines is the main goal in the development of HMIs. Depending on the application, we integrate any form of operating elements and create interfaces for your applications that are as self-explanatory as possible.

    Also in semi-industrial applications “on demand” is attracting increased interest. ePaper display solutions (similar to an e-reader) are used, for example, to provide information on variable room occupancy or can intelligently support building or shop management in form of a price information system (centrally controlled).
