Product Development

Cicor develops innovative electronics and associated software for customers in the fields of medical technology and industry. Cicor supports you from the idea to the finished product. The development process is ISO9001 and ISO13485 certified and Cicor also meets the requirements for the development and production of accessories for mobile devices from a leading manufacturer.

Development of customized electronic solutions

Technological advances in the development and manufacture of electronic products and regulatory requirements present manufacturers with major challenges. The qualified developers of the Cicor Group support customers from the idea to the finished product.

The development engineers work closely with the production department. Thanks to this cooperation, an intensive exchange of know-how and technology takes place. Target-costing, design-for-manufacturing, design-for-testability and design-for-traceability are practically implemented in daily work.

Hardware development

The main areas of expertise are control and regulation technology, actuators, sensors, embedded systems, measurement technology and data processing. Common microcontroller architectures are used.

Mechanics

Software development

The software is developed according to the model-driven approach where appropriate. UML diagrams describe the function from a static and dynamic point of view. The source code for the target system is generated from the models. This approach enables very high design quality, reliability and consistent documentation. User-friendliness is becoming increasingly important for devices. Therefore, state-of-the-art technologies are used for the implementation of the user interfaces.

Model-driven design
- UML modeling
- Target code generation
Firmware development in C and C++
IBM Rational Rhapsody
Keil uVision/RTX
Bootloader
GUIs with QT, HTML5
Distributed systems
Functionally safe systems
Embedded linux
IEC 62304 (Class A-C)
