Consulting

Protech offers high-level electronic consulting services, working from its own premises through frequent visits and meetings with the customer, or relocating part of its own resources for as long as needed to complete the project, sharing every phase of design and development with the customer's team for a greater and more effective transfer of know-how.

Areas

Phases

  • product definition
  • feasibility analysis
  • new product design
  • redesign of existing products
  • cost reduction studies
  • performance improvement
  • evaluation of new technologies or solutions

Product design and development

From idea to project, from prototype to series production. Our team can cover all activities necessary for the design, development and industrialization of products in any sector or field of application

Activities

  • specification definition
  • mechanical solution studies
  • PCB layout
  • circuit design
  • firmware/software development
  • project and product testing and validation
  • approval and certification process

We can design to optimize the final product cost or to maximize its performance, functionality and technological content. We are able to estimate production costs from the very first stages of the project and to reiterate the design phases whenever cost reductions are needed, without compromises in terms of quality, reliability and performance.

Electronic design

One of the most important activities at Protech is hardware circuit design. Thanks to many years of experience across every field of application and continuous technical and technological updating, we are able to cover every customer need.

We design with these goals in mind:

  • flexibility in the relationship with the customer
  • reduced time to market
  • quality projects
  • technological excellence

Hardware design activities

  • product design
  • board design
  • custom hardware solutions
  • PCB layout and routing
  • hardware/software integration
  • embedded systems development
  • microprocessor/microcontroller system development
  • analog and power electronics
  • wireless technologies
  • networking and data communication
  • definition and implementation of test equipment and procedures
  • support for product approval
  • support for CE marking and compliance with sector regulations
  • reliability analysis and MTBF (e.g. MIL Handbook 217F)
  • project documentation

We design from the earliest stages taking into account compliance with European safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. We can support the customer with CE marking of their equipment, from identifying the relevant standards, to testing at accredited laboratories, up to drafting the technical file.

Firmware/software development

Our experience spans different architectures and families of CPUs, microcontrollers and DSPs, using a wide range of programming languages, real-time operating systems, tools and integrated development environments. Our skills also include the development of high-level software for Windows and Linux/Unix systems. 

Our development team can design the software/firmware architecture for a new product from scratch, or inherit and adapt existing modules according to the customer's specifications, working at every level, from hardware interaction through device drivers to the creation of APIs or SDKs and the development of the complete application.

Firmware/software development activities

  • embedded firmware development in C
  • high-level software development for Windows, Linux, Unix, MacOS
  • design and implementation of cybersecurity features
  • porting of existing firmware and software
  • device driver development
  • bootloader development
  • digital control systems
  • human-machine interfaces and GUIs
  • communication and networking protocols
  • code documentation and technical documentation writing
  • maintenance and support

Firmware and software development at Protech follows very strict quality standards. Every line of code produced is tracked using version control systems (GIT), which always guarantee the ability to identify and recover every software release, even years after a project has closed.

On request we can also handle the development of special "safety-related" projects, following the relevant standards, including for example:

  • IEC 61508 - Functional safety of electronic safety-related systems
  • RTCA DO178B - Software development in Airborne systems
  • MISRA C - Guidelines for the Use of the C Language in Vehicle Based Software

Rapid prototyping

Building prototypes is an important stage of the development process. One or more samples need to be assembled and tested at the end of the design phase in order to fine-tune the project and carry out its final validation. 

Prototypes also make it possible to assess a product's manufacturability and apply the necessary optimizations to the product itself and to the production process. 

Prototyping phases

  • Production of a PCB sample batch
  • Sourcing of electronic components
  • Board assembly
  • Rapid prototyping of plastic parts or enclosures
  • Manufacturing of metal parts
  • 3D printing
  • Functional testing
  • Final product assembly

Protech is able to deliver prototypes in very short lead times and in the required quantities, without the customer having to handle it directly.

Production

Protech can meet any need in terms of electronic production, at board, assembly, sub-assembly or full turnkey product level. We manufacture to the highest standards, either in-house or with selected, well-established partners, in small or large batches. 

Our expertise includes single- and double-sided PTH and SMD assembly, on conventional PCBs or flexible substrates.

Parts and components

  • Active and passive electronic components
  • Mechanical/electromechanical assemblies
  • Molded and overmolded parts
  • Cabling and interconnections
  • Sheet metal
  • Packaging and marking

Our team is able to prepare instruction booklets, use and maintenance manuals, and any other type of documentation to be included and supplied with the product.
