Electroquip in Industrial Automation
Embedded intelligence forms the core of modern industrial automation. Our commitment extends beyond building control systems; we engineer the intelligent foundation that powers industrial equipment, process controllers, and automation devices. Recognizing embedded systems as the decision-making brain of industrial products, we have developed comprehensive in-house capabilities spanning hardware design, firmware development, and system integration—creating solutions that perform reliably in demanding industrial environments where failure is not an option.
INTELLIGENCE EMBEDDED IN EVERY DESIGN
The Electroquip Embedded Systems division was established to bridge the gap between industrial requirements and electronic innovation. With over 30 years of experience in automation technology, our embedded engineering team designs custom solutions ranging from simple microcontroller-based systems to sophisticated multi-processor architectures. We create the brains of industrial products—motor controllers, process monitors, data acquisition systems, and intelligent sensors—optimized for performance, power efficiency, and long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions.
Hardware Design & Development
Industrial embedded systems demand robust hardware that withstands temperature extremes, electrical noise, vibration, and years of continuous operation. Electroquip’s hardware engineering expertise ensures your product’s electronic foundation is built for reliability.
Our custom PCB design services encompass complete circuit architecture development, strategic component selection, and power management optimization tailored to your application requirements. We design high-speed digital circuits for processor and memory interfaces, precision analog circuits for sensor conditioning and signal processing, and power supply circuits optimized for efficiency and thermal performance.
We specialize in industrial-grade designs featuring extended temperature operation (-40°C to +85°C), EMI/EMC compliance for noisy industrial environments, robust power supply designs with transient protection, and watchdog circuits with failsafe operation. Our hardware designs are optimized for performance, cost, and manufacturability—ensuring your product moves smoothly from prototype to production.
Firmware Development
Hardware without intelligent firmware is simply inert circuitry. Electroquip’s firmware development expertise brings your embedded hardware to life with efficient, robust code built for reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Our firmware engineers develop real-time operating system (RTOS) implementations for multitasking applications requiring precise timing, bare-metal programming for resource-constrained systems demanding maximum efficiency, and comprehensive device drivers for sensors, actuators, displays, and communication peripherals.
We implement industrial communication protocols including Modbus RTU/TCP, CANopen, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, and MQTT for IoT connectivity. Our firmware includes robust error handling, watchdog implementation, safe boot sequences, and over-the-air (OTA) update capabilities for field upgrades without service interruptions.
Microcontroller & Processor Solutions
Selecting the right processing platform is critical to product success. Electroquip’s embedded team brings deep expertise across multiple processor families and development ecosystems, ensuring optimal platform selection for your application.
We implement solutions on ARM Cortex-M series for cost-effective 32-bit performance, PIC and AVR microcontrollers for reliable 8/16-bit applications, ESP32 for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, and industrial-grade processors for demanding control applications requiring extended temperature ranges and long-term availability.
Our processor selection methodology considers computational requirements, peripheral needs (ADC, PWM, timers, communication interfaces), power consumption constraints, development ecosystem maturity, component availability and longevity, and total system cost. We avoid over-specification that adds unnecessary cost while ensuring adequate performance headroom for future feature additions.
