As leader in electronics solutions, Exatronic combines fine skills in order to vertically conduct research and technological development processes, create tailor-made products with added value, incorporate value and optimize manufacturing processes. We are structured in 5 functional areas:
• Studies and Projects
• Design and Development
• Procurement and Purchasing
• Manufacturing
• Sales and Marketing
We have 3 autonomous business units:
• Automotive: it is geared to electronics solutions for the automotive industry;
• Medical: it develops medical devices under the brand “EXA4LIFE”;
• Electronics & Automation: it supplies general tailor-made electronics solutions, and also for industrial automation. Supply chain management and quality control towards final products are fully assured in these 3 business units. For our design and development activities, we use E-CAD Altium Designer and M-CAD SolidWorks Premium, ATMEL, Microchip, ARM and NTX microcontrollers, ZigBee, XBee and other radio communications in the ISM bands. We design analogue and digital electronic circuits, Systems on Chip (SoC) FPGA, IP Cores and VHDL. We use thermal imaging for the thermal design of electronic circuits. We develop firmware and software, according to IEC 62304, with VisualStudio, Eclipse, Xcode and LPCXpresso. Our lab is equipped with antennas and spectral analyzers for EMC/EMI pre-compliance verification. We have the skill to verify the electrical safety of medical devices, according to the norms IEC 60601-1, IEC 61010, IEC 62353, ANSI/AAMI ES60601, ANSI/AAMI ES1:1993, NFPA-99 and VDE 751. By using Accredited Laboratories we lead all the test procedures to verify the products’ conformity with the applying directives to verify the” CE” mark. We have the certifications NP EN ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management Systems), NP 4457:2007 (Research, Development and Innovation Management Systems), ISO 13485:2003 (Medical Devices – Quality Management Systems). Exatronic management structure is also supported by the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (Information Security Management Systems) best practices, since 2011. During 2013, we were recognized from Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science and Ministry of Economy as a company with competence in R&D of solutions with electronics - "Reconhecimendo de Idoneidade" - SIFIDE
We have established partnerships with University of Aveiro, Technical University of Lisbon and University of Coimbra in the form of consortium and cooperation agreements. Every year we get bachelor and master students from partner universities. Presently, three of them are among us finishing their bachelor final work and master thesis in the areas of electronic engineering, biomedical engineering and product design. We manage the design and development processes of new products with a vertical and differentiating approach: “Having as starting point a simple idea or concept, we carry out the technical viability analysis, we build the whole R&D process, we manufacture the solution and we finish by delivering the new product.”
Alternatively, and when we are satisfied with the developed solution, we can then just design and lead the manufacturing process and optimize the production and/or assembly costs through an international procurement for the components, materials and services necessary for the product formation. We also implement and control the purchasing, manufacturing and control quality process, thus guarantying a correct management of the supply chain of finished products close to our customers.
