Accelerate and safeguard your journey from business case to production-ready connected device with the help of our consultants, technical specialists, and extensive partner network.
Connected devices allow us to transcend the traditional boundaries of device, organisation and industry. They support connected innovation that drives positive change for people, organisations, and society.
From smart sensors, to robots that perform surgery, connected devices have diverse and innovative use cases that can simplify our daily lives, automate complex processes, and help us tackle the biggest issues of our time.
But device development and the journey to bring a new or enhanced connected product to market is fraught with risk and complexity.
There are critical considerations around security, safety, compliance, and sustainability. You need scalable software, robust hardware, and a tech infrastructure that supports innovation. And you need the right processes, platforms, and data strategy to continuously test, learn, and demonstrate value and feasibility.
Here at Zühlke, we transform this complexity into opportunity. Benefit from cross-industry experience and our rich heritage in embedded software, firmware, electronics, mechanics, system architecture, regulatory compliance, and much more.
