Development of electronic devices, hardware and software service
Customised electronics and device development
Electronics is everywhere and nowadays accompanies most people in every situation and area of life. To name just two examples - standard solutions for electronic components can be found in electrical and in DIY shops in plenty.
However, it can also happen that a standard solution, especially for more complex commercial and industrial applications, does not exactly fit the application in question. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an individual device that is tailor-made for the specific application or the customer. This means that a flexible company must be found which can provide an application- or customer-specific product and technical solution.
ZILA is considered a specialist in electronic device technologies and can look back on more than 15 years of experience in the development, production and maintenance of more than 5,000 leakage test devices. In measurement, control and regulation technology, ZILA has become known for its leading technology and product solutions in the field of automated, controlled climate monitoring and control.
Focusing on the subjects of pressure, temperature, humidity and CO2, we develop and manufacture electronic measurement, control and regulation devices for building services engineering as well as for machine and plant engineering (automation and process monitoring).
Electronics and device development along with hardware and software service under the same roof
Prototyping and design-to-cost
Along a product's life cycle, we develop a proposal to solve the problem on the basis of the customer's idea and feasibility or concept studies. Once this has been done, the necessary components can be selected and the circuitry and electronics are developed, while considering the budget given and the standards and guidelines applicable.
Firmware and software
When the electronic device has been developed, the firmware must be programmed. As soon as this process has been completed, we also develop configuration and application software for the most common mobile (iOS, Android) and desktop (Windows) platforms for our customers upon request.
Hardware service
After the customised device development (hardware and firmware) has been implemented and a market-ready / ready-to-use product has been created, we transfer the prototype to serial production, which is either handled by ourselves or in cooperation with our reliable business partners.
Even after the handover of the final electronics, software and documentation, ZILA accompanies the customised device development with an in-house hardware service and with software updates.
