Project planning ^^^ management

Project planning & management

The realization of customized products and services requires a detailed planning of all the development steps and is carried out by specialists in different technical areas, integrated and complementary.  Project requirements and life cycle are managed through detailed product plans and technical data collection, with particular emphasis on documentation management.

The use of sophisticated electronic archiving tools allows the efficient development of co-design activity, through cooperative integration of internal technical resources with the customer’s organization along all the duration of the project. The project evolution is followed through management tools, such as GANTT and planning systems, and it is constantly traced out to allow a continuous control of the costs and resources.

 

 

Hardware Development

The Harware Development  teams are involved in the design of microelectronics applications, radiofrequency controls, programmable circuits (FPGA – CLPD), optoelectronics and power electronics applications, as well as in the PCB layout and industrialization activities.

This phase is particularly focused on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), on manufacturability (DFM), on testability (DFT), as well as on Lead Free processes and ROHS directive accomplishment.

Our technologies are applied in several application areas and include components and systems, utilized on power management devices, on telecom and  the electromedical equipments,  on automotive applications (dashboards and  body control units), on appliance and access controls and on the automatic paytoll systems.

 

Instruments and processes in place are:

  • VHDL development and simulation
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Risk assessment and reliability analysis  (FTA and MTF)
  • Failure effect analysis (Design FMEA e FMECA)
  • Schematic entry and  electronic CAD for the PCB layout
  • EMI-EMC test laboratories including anechoic rooms,  RF spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, AWG, etc.
  • CAM, DFT and DFM in-house developed Software 

 

 

Software Embedded Controls

The acquired know how in this area is focused on the development of firmware on various  microprocessor 8,16, 32bit and DSP based platforms. 

The software is projected on dedicated development and emulation-platforms using C/C++ for embedded, assembly languages and automatic embedded code generators. Projects include the development of PC-based software for optimizing and interfacing  embedded systems. Methods and instruments:

 

  • Model based development
  • Teamwork development
  • Real-time process analysis
  • Dynamic code analysis (black box and white box testing)
  • Functional safety evaluation of electronic systems
