Define device requirements
Derive sensors, interfaces, radio, power, enclosure and mounting from use, assessing certification needs early.
Hardware & Embedded Engineering
Develop the right hardware for your digital product.
NXTGN Technologies develops electronics, mechanics and firmware for your device and handles production. Antennas, EMC testing and radio approval under RED are included. Where it fits, we use our own DIN-rail modules, from the SCARLET I/O module through the BYZANTIUM cellular gateways to the CM007-HLK edge computer.

Functions
Hardware & Embedded Engineering functions
Electronics and embedded software
Develop acquisition, protocols, local logic and communication together, including failures and update capability.
Integrate existing devices
Not every product needs custom electronics. Assess available components and devices against requirements.
Production and lifecycle
Testing, provisioning, production transfer and support need repeatability, with traceable firmware and hardware versions.
Modules
Our DIN-rail modules
Where one of our modules fits, you save development time. Where it does not, we develop the hardware for your device. Data sheets from NXTGN Technologies ↗
- SCARLETI/O module on Modbus
Reads switches, analogue signals and temperatures and switches outputs, as an I/O node on Modbus without its own radio.
- BYZANTIUMCellular gateway
Sends data from a Modbus line securely to the cloud over LTE-M or NB-IoT.
- BYZANTIUM PROGateway with LAN and Linux
Adds Ethernet, Linux and optional CAN bus to the gateway when more logic needs to run on site.
- BYZANTIUM SERIALGateway with RS232
Connects existing devices with a serial interface over cellular.
- CM007-HLKEdge computer
A Linux computer on the DIN rail that runs applications in Docker containers right at the machine.
Business applications
Typical use cases for Hardware & Embedded Engineering
Gateway for existing equipment
Connect controllers and protocols to the data hub. Physical connection alone does not define business meaning.
Field sensor device
Test battery, durability and transmission in context. Users need manageable installation and maintenance.
A device under your brand
OEM requirements include enclosure, firmware, serial numbers and support, with explicit rights and responsibilities.

Requirements and boundaries
Assess approvals, radio standards and environmental requirements for each device. No universal certification is claimed.
Custom or standard device?
Compare requirements to available devices. Custom development addresses unmet needs.
Who engineers and manufactures?
NXTGN Technologies is our IoT hardware engineering and production company, coordinated with platform and application development.
