Embedded systems are intelligent electronic systems that are directly integrated into machines, devices, or products.
They consist of specially tailored hardware and software and perform tasks such as controlling, regulating, displaying, networking, monitoring, or analyzing data.
HAINZL develops custom embedded systems for mass-produced products—from concept development through hardware and software development to EMS electronics manufacturing and support throughout the entire product lifecycle.
A PLC is a standardized, off-the-shelf control system used primarily in industrial automation applications. An embedded system, on the other hand, is a custom-developed combination of electronics, software, interfaces, and a user interface that is integrated directly into a product.
Embedded systems are particularly well-suited when a control system needs to be precisely tailored to a product, a machine, or a mass-produced device—for example, in terms of installation space, cost, energy efficiency, operating concept, interfaces, or long-term availability.
Embedded systems are particularly well-suited for companies where electronics, software, control systems, HMIs, or networking play a key role in value creation. They are used wherever off-the-shelf solutions are no longer sufficient or where the goal is to create a unique, distinctive product.
Embedded systems are particularly relevant for manufacturers where control, operation, connectivity, or additional digital functions make a decisive difference in the market. These include machine builders, equipment manufacturers, industrial companies, and suppliers of near-series technical products.
Developing a custom embedded system is always worthwhile when off-the-shelf solutions are no longer sufficient. This is the case, for example, when specific functions, special interfaces, high performance, low power consumption, or long product availability are required.
A custom-designed embedded system allows for optimal adaptation to the product, eliminates unnecessary functions, and can save costs, space, and energy in the long term. Especially for mass-produced products, a custom solution offers advantages in terms of unit costs, service life, quality, and market differentiation.
A custom embedded system makes sense when specific functions, interfaces, or user interface concepts are required that cannot be implemented—or can only be implemented to a limited extent—using standard components. Special environmental conditions such as temperature, vibration, outdoor use, or high demands on energy efficiency and performance also justify custom development.
Other reasons for developing a custom embedded system include:
A custom-designed embedded system is developed specifically for the application at hand. This results in solutions free of unnecessary features, technical limitations, or dependencies on off-the-shelf products.
Key benefits include optimized performance, lower energy consumption, faster response times, custom features, long-term availability, predictable product lifecycles, and optimized unit costs in series production. In addition, a custom embedded system can be seamlessly integrated into existing product architectures.
HAINZL offers a complete, one-stop solution in the field of embedded systems: from the analysis of customer requirements through concept development, hardware development, software development, HMI development, system integration, and EMS electronics manufacturing to lifecycle management, remote maintenance, and after-sales service.
HAINZL takes into account issues such as component availability, testability, production costs, cybersecurity, environmental requirements, obsolescence strategies, and certifications as early as the initial development phase.
HAINZL supports the entire development process of an embedded system—from the initial requirements analysis to a production-ready solution. This includes analyzing customer requirements, creating circuit diagrams, selecting suitable components, developing the PCB layout, and preparing all necessary production documentation.
In doing so, HAINZL takes the following into account, among other things:
This results in embedded systems that are technically powerful, economically producible, and capable of long-term operation.
Yes, a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can be fully customized to the specific product, target audience, and application. Functions, menus, operating logic, display size, format, and design can all be customized. Landscape and portrait orientations, custom shapes, and adaptation to the housing and installation environment are also possible.
HAINZL develops modern user interfaces for embedded systems, using frameworks such as QT, QML, and Segger, among others.
A custom HMI for embedded systems makes machines, devices, and systems easier, more intuitive, and more efficient to operate. The user interface can be tailored precisely to the target audience, the location, and the workflows.
This allows functions to be clearly displayed, service processes to be simplified, and operating data to be visualized directly on the device. A custom-designed HMI also supports modern operating concepts, remote maintenance, parameterization, and diagnostic functions.
During remote fault analysis and diagnostics, the embedded system collects relevant operational data. This includes the states of sensors and actuators, system parameters, logs, error messages, and events. This data can be used to analyze fault patterns and system behavior.
Access to live and historical data allows causes to be identified more quickly. This enables better preparation for service calls or the direct remote resolution of problems. This increases the availability of machines and devices and reduces downtime.
Remote maintenance offers many advantages for embedded systems. Problems can be analyzed in real time and often resolved directly from a remote location. Continuous monitoring allows anomalies to be detected early, before they lead to failures.
Additional benefits include:
Yes. In modern embedded systems, software and firmware can be updated centrally and remotely. Such updates can be delivered in a targeted manner and installed securely on the system without the need for an on-site technician.
Automatic or remote updates are suitable for:
It is important to have a secure update strategy to ensure operational reliability, data integrity, and cybersecurity.
Yes. HAINZL supports companies in modernizing, retrofitting, or completely redesigning existing control systems.
This is particularly useful when existing control systems are no longer available, components have been discontinued, or new requirements arise. These include, for example, modern interfaces, a new HMI, remote maintenance, cloud connectivity, higher performance, improved energy efficiency, or enhanced cybersecurity requirements.
Modern embedded systems can offer a very high level of security if cybersecurity is taken into account from the very beginning of the development process. Security should therefore not be tested only at the end, but should be planned for as early as the concept development, software architecture, and system integration phases.
Key security aspects include:
A service provider that combines embedded systems development and electronics manufacturing ensures consistent quality, efficiency, and safety throughout the entire project. Development, manufacturing, testability, and production costs are considered together from the very beginning.
A particular advantage lies in product- and manufacturing-optimized development. Component availability, production processes, test concepts, and costs are taken into account as early as the concept phase. This results in solutions that are technically sound and can be economically manufactured in series.
In addition, customers benefit from greater planning reliability, shorter coordination channels, and rapid implementation of changes, optimizations, or scalability adjustments.
