Control units for a family of kitchen appliances

For a range of professional kitchen equipment a new control electronics had to be developed. Due to a clever concept the number of components could be reduced massively and yet the functionality could be extended.

In this project, Solcept took on responsibility for all aspects ranging from specification, design, development of hardware and software to production tests.

For this purpose and in addition to the embedded system a service tool, a system simulator and an automated function test were implemented on Windows.

Challenge

Reduction of the number of components and improved functionality whil keeping up with new safety regulations

Result: Customer Benefit

Less parts in production and stock

Increased functionality

User-friendly OLED display option

Handover of the responsibility for electronics development
