Our areas of expertise in detail
Sensor architecture & Technology selection
We develop sensor systems that are perfectly suited to your application – with an optimal compromise between performance, cost and integration effort. We define sensor layouts, evaluate radar, lidar and camera systems, and enable robust multi-sensor setups including synchronisation and integration.
- Architecture design and field coverage optimisation
- Selection of suitable technologies based on performance and environmental requirements
- Assessment of redundancy and fusion suitability
- Consideration of supply chain and service life
Requirements Management, Safety & Security
Safety begins with system design. We convert use cases into verifiable requirements and support safety assurance in accordance with all standards – from functional safety to cybersecurity.
- Creation of technical requirements and test criteria
- Support in DOORS, Polarion & Co.
- HARA, TARA, safety and security design
- Compliance with ISO 26262, ISO 21434 and OEM standards
Integration & Tooling
Whether HiL setup or test vehicle: we provide reliable integration of sensors into your environment. With customised tools, bus connections and visualisation solutions, we create the basis for reliable testing and data analysis.
- Commissioning, calibration and interface integration
- Middleware development and visualisation (ROS, GUIs, tools)
- Fault diagnosis, logging and live monitoring
- Automated test frameworks
Testing & Validation
From functional verification to environmental durability: we design and conduct comprehensive test campaigns – efficiently, scalable and data-driven.
- Test planning & definition (test objectives, KPIs, coverage)
- HiL/SiL testing, closed-loop systems & simulation environments
- Environmental & stress tests (EMC, temperature, vibration)
- Automated evaluation, visualisation & reporting
Industrialisation & Series Preparation
We guide your sensor solution on its way to series production – with a focus on manufacturability, testability and standard-compliant implementation. Whether DFM, DFT or PPAP: we make it ready for production.
- Design evaluation, prototyping & series concepts
- Production testing concepts & equipment definition
- Audit support, OEM approvals & compliance documentation
- Quality & maturity assurance
Supplier & Project Management
As the interface between OEM, development and supply chain, we manage projects along all milestones, supported, among others, by the RLE Service Engine for structured processes, clear communication and proactive risk management.
- Technical coordination & interface definition
- Milestone planning & quality gates
- Escalation management & change coordination
- SOP support & launch support
