What is Prima Electro’s role in the development of new electronic products?

Prima Electro operates as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) and manages the entire product lifecycle: from ideation and feasibility analysis to engineering design, through to prototyping and full industrial production at its plants in Moncalieri and Barone Canavese.

What is Prima Electro’s DOTS model and what benefits does it offer?

DOTS (Dedicated-Off-The-Shelf) is Prima Electro’s development model based on pre-validated, modular technology platforms that can be customised to the client’s needs. It significantly reduces development time (time-to-market) and costs while maintaining a high degree of customisation.

Which industrial sectors does Prima Electro serve with its R&D services?

Prima Electro develops custom electronic systems for industrial automation, the rail and transport sector, energy and storage (BESS), avionics and defence, the subsea/offshore sector and the HVAC market.

What is the value of Prima Electro’s R&D team in complex, highly custom projects?

Prima Electro’s R&D team is multidisciplinary and covers the entire technological spectrum: electronic engineering, electromechanical and thermal design, aerospace engineering, telecommunications and the development of real-time firmware and software. This combination of skills makes it possible to handle projects of high systemic complexity, integrating hardware, software, mechanics and regulatory compliance.

Hardware

Electronics needs a sound foundation.

We create customised hardware and software to optimise price/performance ratio of the products you care about:

Digital and Analogue Electronics (local and remote I/O control units, SIL3 wireless portable terminals, domotic systems…)
Power Electronics (motor control, power supplies, DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC power conversion up to 450 kW and more)
Thermal simulation of components and definition of thermal system models (air or liquid cooling) using dedicated CAD
Electromechanics design of complete systems using dedicated electrical and mechanical 3D CAD
Design of electrical diagrams, layout and thermal simulation of PCBs using dedicated CAD
Modeling of plastic parts using 3D CAD for making molds

Firmware e Software

We are prepared to give you only the best in embedded electronics.

We design and develop the firmware and software your company needs to grow its business:

Development of firmware and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
Configuration and integration of real time kernels and market operating systems
Development and integration of the most popular communication protocols
Real-time embedded software development for industrial applications

Motor Control Applications

Everything under control.

We develop advanced motor control algorithms for the most varied applications:

Sensored Motor Control (Field-Oriented Control -FOC- for brushless servo motors, Unified Direct-Flux Vector Control - UDFVC)
Sensorless Motor Control (High Performance Speed Control for applications with a wide power range from 5 kW up to more than 450 kW)
Algorithms for self-identification of motor parameters and self-tuning, even with the rotor locked
Unique algorithms for power module prognostics and smart power peak management

Industry 4.0 and IoT applications

Development of secure HW/FW/SW architectures (Trusted Platform) for protection against malware intrusion in IoT applications
Development of digital controllers for industrial device management
Development of digital controllers for process data management (Hedge Controllers)
