Selected Engineering Projects

This section presents a selection of engineering projects and application examples reflecting the type of technical challenges addressed through LaurTec Engineering experience. Projects initiated in January 2026 or later. Other projects are ongoing.

PLC for Process Automation

Project 01 — PLC for Process Automation

Specifications

  • Custom PLC designed for the control of industrial processes.
  • The board monitors temperature and fluid levels and, through the control of motors and valves, maintains the required process conditions.
  • The system is powered by a 12 V battery.

Design

  • Design of the hardware and firmware, and support during the first production.
Custom Event Timer hhhh:mm

Project 02 — Custom Event Timer hhhh:mm

Specifications

  • Compact timer designed for counting hours and minutes.
  • Custom LCD required due to the very small size of the device.
  • PCB size: only 2 × 2 cm.
  • Powered by a CR2032 battery.
  • Estimated battery life of 5 years, with the system continuously powered on.
  • Based on an MSPM0 Cortex-M0+ microcontroller.

Design

  • Design of the hardware and firmware, and support during the first production.
Data Logger

Project 03 — Data Logger

Specifications

  • Battery-powered data logger.
  • Based on a PIC24F family microcontroller.
  • Measures environmental parameters including pressure, humidity and temperature.
  • Measures motion parameters including acceleration and angular velocity.
  • Optional daughter board with SD memory, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Design

  • Design of the hardware and firmware, and support during the first production.
Test Jig with LaurTec Platform

Project 04 — Test and Programming Jig Platform

Specifications

  • Modular test jig designed to accommodate different board sizes and test configurations.
  • Adjustable mechanical architecture allows the fixture to be quickly adapted to different PCB dimensions.
  • USB connection provides a convenient interface between the test jig and the host PC.
  • Supports multiple programmer families, including MSPM0, PIC and STM32 microcontrollers.
  • Suitable for development, validation and production testing, with a modular approach that simplifies reuse across different products.
  • Typical application: test and programming during development or mass production.

Design

  • Developed using the LaurTec Test jig platform.
  • The Test jig shown on the left is currently deployed for testing and prodcution.
Custom GUI for Automated Test and Production Support

Project 05 — Custom GUI

Specifications

  • Custom software developed to support automated testing.
  • Production setup support for efficient system configuration and deployment.
  • Support for in-field firmware updates.

Design

  • Developed using the LaurTec framework.
  • The GUIs shown on the left are actual interfaces currently deployed at customer sites.
