Welcome to the family: HELICOM Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Telekommunikation und Medientechnik mbH has been part of our network since our founding days. Now the Münster-based company will finally become a full part of HK.SYSTEMS GmbH on May 1, 2022 – with a continued decisive role: At the Münster site, our experienced specialists will take care of the development of the appropriate electronics in connection with connectivity as part of an IoT project. In other words: No successful, functioning IoT solution without HELICOM’s know-how!
The planned integration that has now been implemented is a further logical step in our strategic development. At the same time, the official HK.SYSTEMS headquarters will also be located in Münster from May 1, 2022.
Electronics development: the nucleus for successful IoT solutions
When implementing an IoT project, developing the right electronics in conjunction with connectivity plays a crucial role. A challenging task for our specialists – with a suitable core competence in the field of mobile radio transmission.
Products, solutions and development services in hardware, firmware and middleware: electronics, data transmission, electronics development, server technology – we offer the complete package from a single source! Implemented in-house by creative developers, individually and efficiently tailored to the respective IoT project. This valuable expertise guarantees that the sensor data collected is transmitted reliably and validly via mobile communications – to the cloud or, if required, to the customer’s server, using modern transmission technologies from 2G to 5G.
Important in all steps: In the spirit of “Green I(o)T”, we pay attention to the sustainable use of all capacities: The transmission of data is always optimized, and repeat cycles are also meticulously tailored to the individual applications.
Comprehensive in-house expertise: creative and efficient
We take a comprehensive approach to the development of electronics and reliable connectivity: as part of an IoT project, we develop the complete solution package in-house – hardware and software with suitable firmware and middleware. Our engineers work creatively and efficiently: from the layout of the circuit diagram to the construction of prototypes and the procurement of components for subsequent series production. And – if necessary – we can also draw on capacities for large-scale production. What always applies: We accompany the development progress until all devices are not only finished, but are stable in the field.
That is our strength: the individual solution, optimized for each individual IoT project. If possible, designed very simply – if necessary, in conjunction with edge computing, sometimes highly complex and intelligent.
