Embedded Software

The quality of equipment and embedded systems depends more than ever on the quality of the embedded software used. Today, there are modern graphic tools that facilitate the development of embedded software and the networking of embedded devices in the IoT. However, complex, long-lasting and robust embedded software requires deep, extensive expertise in embedded software engineering, particularly in the case of strict normative guidelines for use in medical technology or functional safety in addition to quality factors.

infoteam has been developing embedded software since it was founded. We consequently have decades of experience working with:

various types of hardware components,
development environments, generally based on C and C++,
all Windows and Linux operating systems, microkernel architectures such as FreeRTOS and real-time systems such as QNX.

We also integrate a wide range of fieldbuses and communication protocols into your software – including CAN, CANopen, EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET or especially in relation to functional safety, such as PROFIsafe. In this way, we set up both the complete firmware and suitable board support packages for your hardware, as well as individual embedded applications including HMI connection via OPC UA servers or web technologies. We also support you with tools for development according to IEC 61131.

Embedded Software in Practise

Embedded Software for Functional Safety

For functional safety requirements, in particular, we combine our embedded expertise with our extensive experience from safety projects and develop software to the highest safety level. In addition to IEC 61508, we also cover ISO 13485, DIN ISO 50128 and IEC 26262 according to your specifications. Depending on your wishes, we can use our established, TÜV-certified development process according to IEC 61508 to SIL 3 or we can use the process of your choice.

Embedded Software for Medical and Laboratory Equipment

For the use of your software in medical and laboratory equipment, you can avail of our certified quality management according to ISO 13485. It includes our development process in accordance with the IEC 62304, risk management according to ISO 14971 and usability engineering according to IEC 62366. In this way, we can guarantee standard compliance for your software in accordance with the requirements of the MDR, IVDR and FDA.
