About us
Make a long story smart
We give your products technical superpowers through smartification. Our goal is to make your product a breakthrough solution that will amaze your customers and outshine your competitors.
Since 2018, we are 8tronix GmbH, a Kiel-based engineering company focused on electronics and software development. Our mindset has made us a pioneer in our industry and is characterized by test-driven development.
Why we do what we do
How can we use our three core competences - electronics and software development and testing - to support mechanical engineering in the industry? This is the question Henning, Niklas and Sascha asked themselves in 2018 when they founded the company.
The answer: through the targeted smartification of products and machines. We have found that entrepreneurs have ingenious ideas for product diversity and enhancements. In the course of (further) development, it often helps to look at the product and its functions from the outside in order to fathom the hidden potential. This is exactly where the 8tronix team comes into play.
We realize your visions and lift your success to a new level. Let's achieve great things together!

Software Development
From a fleeting idea to ready-to-use software. Whether industrial applications, embedded systems, IoT or safety-related projects - there is hardly an application area for which customized firmware is not essential. We breathe life into your electronic assembly with the right software. Thanks to the use of innovative and smart technologies, we give you a clear competitive edge. Software and hardware from a single source. Software solutions in industry and mechanical engineering should above all function sustainably, flexibly and efficiently. It is particularly important to us that the software solution works smoothly with the hardware of your product. To ensure this, our software and hardware experts work hand in hand with a constant eye on the big picture. We are your "perfect match” Instead of risking higher production costs, operational disruptions, and security incidents, you should rely on a service provider that helps you get the maximum success out of your product by delivering and verifying top-notch results. ✓ We use the overall know-how of our high-class development team, that never loses focus on the bigger picture. ✓ From the start of development, we test our software solutions and all intermediate steps repeatedly and at all levels using strictly defined processes. ✓ Our interdisciplinary team of experts actively continues its education, exchanges ideas at regular coding meetings, and runs ahead of trends rather than after them. And to top it off: When you officially accept our solution, we give you a two-year warranty! This means that we will fix any product defects immediately for two years - free of charge, of course.

Hardware Development
From the idea in the shower to the tangible product concept - we accompany you through all phases from the idea to the marketability of your product! You have a product idea that could change the world, but no idea how to put it into practice? You need a suitable hardware solution for a digital application, but a stick figure drawing is the highest of feelings? Whether you work with us from the beginning or need support with an existing hardware setup - we get the best out of your product! We work with you to develop a common understanding of the hardware you need and use that to develop a strategy for turning your idea into reality. With a lot of creativity and know-how we create a customized hardware design that... ...is specifically tailored to your functional requirements and objectives. ...can be implemented optimally in the technical context. ...integrates seamlessly with an embedded system and associated software components. ...takes into account external influences such as industry standards and material availability to ensure the shortest possible lead times in production. ...allows the product to be scaled and produced as easily as possible. ...enables cost-efficient and power-saving operation. ...acts robustly, safely and reliably in all scenarios. After the successful completion of the product development, we are happy to assist you in the production of your product and can connect you with our network of material suppliers and production facilities. Do you have any questions? Contact us or visit our booth (Booth: 547) for a warm welcome with fresh popcorn!"
Testing for Software
Invest in professional testing to save time and money in the long run with impeccable software. Before your product reaches your end users, it's important to put it through its paces in terms of functionality, security and efficiency. It is not uncommon for product development to neglect thorough testing of a software solution. This is especially true for those electronic systems that do not require official certification. If you ask us, this is a fatal mistake. Continuous testing of your product during the development process is essential for us. This is the only way to save a lot of time and money through early troubleshooting and to provide your end customers with a product of maximum quality, usability and reliability. As specialists for hardware and software design in industry and mechanical engineering, we know the challenges of efficient testing of embedded systems very well. With experts in all phases of product development on our team, we can help you with quality assurance throughout the entire process. Regardless of whether you want to verify your entire product or just individual elements of it - we will use our know-how to create a testing strategy tailored exactly to your needs and thus put an abrupt end to software and product errors! Do you want to prioritize security from the start when developing your electronic product or have an existing system checked for possible vulnerabilities? Contact us or visit our booth (Booth: 547) and let's discuss your questions and concerns over fresh popcorn!
