Custom development
While our standard products are suitable for many different application scenarios, there are also cases where a custom solution makes sense:
Special functional requirements
We offer firmware adaptations, e.g. to support a proprietary host protocol, or hardware adaptations, e.g. for specific installation environments. Thanks to in-house development, design, and production we can offer you the highest quality at competitive prices.
Cost optimization
For orders of 100 readers or more, we offer cost-optimized versions of our standard products that contain only the components you need. For higher order volumes, we also offer fully customized designs: In this case, we can optimize the feature set even further – not only by removing features, but also by adding additional ones as needed. Mechanical properties can be customized as well: You can e.g. have the reader’s shape tailored to facilitate the next process steps so you can minimize your production costs.
All-round service
In addition to developing your solution, we also take care of international certifications, e.g. CE, FCC, ATEX, or UL, but also branding of product and packaging as well as worldwide logistics.
