Electronic Design Capabilities

Enclosure Design for Electronics Products

Our mechanical design team is experienced in designing and manufacturing electronic product enclosures. Typically electronic products have the following design requirements in common:

• Small size requirements
• Easy ergonomic usage
• Rugged Robust design
• Protection against water and dust ingress
• Heat dissipation

We have designed electronics products for companies including Toshiba and HP. We pride ourselves on the wide range of exciting products to which we have brought a unique image and function.

Electronics Testing

We are experienced in working to and obtaining CE and FCC certification for products. We work with test houses in the UK, USA and China.

Typically we work with our customers to define the exact usage and test requirements. Our engineers will attend the laboratories during the testing process and work with the test engineers to overcome any issues if they arise.

Digital Sensing and Control systems for household appliances

We design devices for the measurement and control of household machines and electronic devices. Benefits that may arise in this area are:

• Better performance
• Fault detection and control before damage occurs
• Energy saving control
• Remote control from other locations

Encrypted Communications and Peripherals

It is possible to employ high level encryption systems on single chips. These can be included with existing communications devices on handhelds or other equipment. Very high performance levels are now possible with minimum detriment to communications speeds. These can be used with a variety of communication protocols including Bluetooth:

Typical usages are:

• Military and Government
• Financial Services
• Emergency Services
• Pharmacuticals

Peripheral Devices for Mobile Phones, PDA's and Blackberrys

It is now possible to add considerable extra functionality to these devices via the Bluetooth protocol. Typical functionality might be:

• Encryption
• Signature capture
• Readers for RFID, Barcode, Chip and Pin and magnetic cards
• Detectors for gases, radiation, light frequencies and chemicals
• Additions of AV capture for audio and video formats
• Printers

Multimedia Devices: Camera and Audio

It is now possible to develop high definition video and camera devices for use in almost any situation imaginable. The miniature components available mean that they can be worn or mounted in very small package sizes. The video and sound data can be recorded to hard drives or flash cards or encrypted and transmitted immediately.

Other electronics devices can be combined with these multimedia packages. For example the addition of GPS or signature capture has very significant uses for law enforcement agencies who are collecting evidence.

Medical Devices: Measurement, Electrical Stimulation

We work with doctors and medical device companies to develop technology to enhancement measurement and treatment using electronic devices. Increasingly senior doctors are developing there own technology solutions to issues they face in diagnosing and treating patients. MotionTouch recognise this developing market and have developed a specialty skills areas such as:

• Working to identify the medical requirement
• Identifying in the correct developmental approach to meet the requirement
• Working with doctors to jointly develop the solution and trial and refine

Key Fob, Hand Held and Remote Control Systems

We have experience across a wide range of spectrums in the development and delivery of handheld control systems. These might be use for the following applications:

• Remote locking, security and system interrogation
• Remote activation, data logging and retrieval
• Control of existing equipment and machinery through electronic interfaces development by MotionTouch

Touch screen and Signature Systems

We have experience in both the design integration of electronic signature technologies and Touchscreen technologies in a variety of environments.

These environments include

• Banks & Building Societies
• Judicial Courts
• International Border Control
• Building Sites
• Schools
• Mobile Workers

GPS Solutions

Global Positioning technology is now used in a very wide variety of devices. Increasingly we are working to combine GPS systems with other technology to deliver unusual combinations; these solutions include:

• GPS with signatures for delivery systems
• GPS with cameras for mobile and surveillance and monitoring
• GPS with fingerprinting for proof of location
• GPS with GSM or GPRS for mobile asset tracking and monitoring

Data Loggers for use with Analogue systems and Machinery

We design systems for the automation and management of existing non-digital machinery and equipment. Measurement of output and performance can be combined with increased control and remote monitoring to increase the lifetime and return on original investment.

Rugged Electronics, Handheld Communications and Measurement

Mobile field workers are now able to undertake nearly all of their activities electronically. This saves time and money with information collected being instantly available on corporate networks. Typical users for the rugged handheld devices of this type are:

• Meter readers
• Service engineers
• Emergency Services
• Automotive recovery services engineers

Automotive Devices

We are experienced in designing electronic systems for use inside a vehicle, either to add extra functionality to the vehicle or to add data logging and control solutions into vehicles. Often these systems are combined with communications devices for transmitting data to a central server or control system. Communications interfaces range from USB or Bluetooth to integrated GPRS. This can be for a variety of reasons

• Increasing engine and systems performance for race environments
• Monitoring vehicle performance for design development
• Detecting and communicating maintenance and fault issues.
• Including additional functionality to the vehicle, e.g. Golf Cart Battery Charger
