Customer's Challenge
Research results in sensors that often require complex excitation and processing. In most cases, once the research has been completed, the sensor is functioning and the control method has been determined, the electronics can be optimized in terms of performance and price for the first product.
Outcome
Although optimization usually focuses on cost, eliminating analog electronics often results in a more stable solution that can be easily manufactured without the need for calibration.
Implementation
Through our co-design of electronics and digital signal processing algorithms we could achieve simple and cost-effective solutions which allowed a fast product launch. Functional prototypes of the new architecture allowed us to validate the concepts and minimize the risks for product development.
Thanks to a quick understanding of the specific measurement principle, its simulation in MATLAB, and a clear system design, significant improvements in overall system performance were achieved. In addition, ideas for further optimization of the entire mechatronics for successor products were developed together with the customers.
