AI is more than just hype: it is already being used today - in everyday life, in business, for society.
Successfully networking complex systems
In networked embedded devices, all components must work together perfectly. Embedded system integration ensures exactly that: it connects the right components in the right places - in the device itself and beyond.
MaibornWolff has many years of experience in this area - in individual integration as well as in connecting to complex IoT environments. Our interdisciplinary team does not think of integration in isolation, but as a holistic task along your system architecture.
We deliver solutions that work - reproducible, maintainable and a perfect fit for your target platform. And with a clear claim: as little technology as possible, as much as necessary. True to our guiding principle: Less Technology. Better business.
Everyone treats each other with respect. I was never the working student, but the developer like the others. My opinion counted just as much.
Embedded systems only develop their full potential when all components are properly integrated. We ensure that software and hardware work together precisely - reliably, efficiently and tailored to your target system.
Embedded system integration is an integral part of our software projects - as demonstrated by numerous successful references from a wide range of industries.
Whether a small module or a networked overall system: we have successfully implemented integration in every project - because no embedded product works without it.
Modular architectures and structured processes make your systems more efficient in operation - reliable, traceable and future-proof.
Whether a subsystem or complete solution: we integrate hardware, software, IoT cloud & app - tailored to your environment, regardless of industry or company size.
Embedded systems only develop their full potential when all essential components are properly integrated: Hardware, software, IoT, customer app, security and user experience. We ensure that software and hardware work together precisely - reliably, efficiently and tailored to your target system.
We integrate individual modules, frameworks or complete applications into existing embedded environments - stable, expandable and without side effects. We consider existing infrastructures and your build system right from the start. Whether greenfield or partial integration: we have the expertise to enter grown structures in a targeted manner and develop them further in a future-proof manner.
Every embedded system is unique and every piece of hardware has its own requirements. That's why we tailor the software, drivers and operating system precisely to your target platform. Our solutions also take peripherals, buses and control components into account - for a connection that not only works, but also fits perfectly with the overall system.
We accompany the integration right up to the final step - remotely or on site. If required, we build reproducible setups and provide support with error analysis and optimization.
We are particularly familiar with the following target systems:
Our teams are open to all technologies, but with a clear focus on your requirements - functional, operational and economical.
We integrate embedded systems seamlessly into the surrounding software and communication landscapes:
Embedded systems only offer the customer a good user experience when they are seamlessly connected to the surrounding systems .
A smart device is not only created by good hardware or clean software - but by the well thought-out interaction of all levels: Hardware, software, IoT platform, customer app, security and user experience. This is exactly what we think about right from the start.
Our cross-functional teams systematically bring all components together - methodically, comprehensibly and with the aim of breaking down silos . The following two graphics show how we understand integration holistically: on the software side on the one hand and on the hardware side on the other.
Whether unstable systems, grown legacy solutions or interface conflicts - many companies reach their limits when it comes to embedded system integration. In addition, there is often insufficient testability, a lack of security concepts, unclear requirements or simply a lack of expertise in the embedded sector.
This is exactly where we come in and provide structure, reliability and sustainable solutions. Our aim is not to provide a basic solution, but integration with substance - according to industry standards, with a great deal of ownership, expertise and foresight.
An example says more than many words: that is why we are showing a specific project here in which embedded systems integration has produced measurable results. The example project shows how it works in practice - with clearly measurable benefits for the product and the business behind it.
With the cloud-based system, TÜV NORD experts can efficiently prepare and invoice damage assessments and vehicle valuations. Car dealerships can order spare parts directly after the damage calculation, which shortens the repair time by at least 2 working days.

While classic system integration often uses external middleware, embedded system integration links components directly within an embedded system - i.e. very close to the hardware. It requires a deep understanding of the target platforms, strict resource control and special test procedures.
Embedded Systems Integration works by embedding integration capabilities directly into an application or platform, rather than relying on external tools or middleware. This approach allows users to seamlessly connect different systems and applications within their existing workflows without having to switch between different interfaces or environments.
At MaibornWolff, security is an integral part of every integration project - not as an afterthought, but right from the start. We work with threat modeling, rely on security by design and carry out penetration tests if required. In this way, we ensure that embedded components function reliably even in security-critical contexts.
