Products Power Conversion Engineering High-reliability power conversion and charging subsystems compliant with European and International OEM standards for precision machinery, medical electronics, and mobile energy platforms.
Switzerland’s manufacturing sector is recognized worldwide for its unrelenting commitment to engineering precision, zero-defect quality, and technological longevity. From the MedTech corridors of Zurich and Basel to advanced industrial automation centers in St. Gallen and alpine clean-tech initiatives in Valais, Swiss Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) demand battery management systems (BMS) and power conversion architectures that perform flawlessly under stringent operational conditions. Designing custom power and battery architectures for the Swiss market requires an intimate understanding of cell chemistry optimization, thermal management in high-altitude environments, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and compliance with European and Swiss electro-technical regulations (ESTI / NEV standards).
As a seasoned power conversion and battery engineering firm established in 1961, our organization brings over six decades of heritage in custom circuit topology design, power conversion (1W to 3,600W), and isolated DC/DC systems (0.5W to 1,500W). We specialize in modified-standard and ground-up fully custom OEM battery management solutions engineered to serve Swiss equipment integrators, medical device developers, electric mobility designers, and railway technology manufacturers.
Information Gain Metric: Standard off-the-shelf battery protection circuits frequently suffer from parasitic drain, inadequate active balancing algorithms, and poor performance under Sub-Zero Alpine thermal gradients. Our custom Swiss-edition BMS architectures integrate ultra-low quiescent current monitoring (<5µA in sleep mode), multi-chemistry state-of-charge (SOC) algorithms, dynamic cell balancing, and CANbus/SMBus/Modbus digital telemetry to maximize lithium-ion (LiFePO4, NMC, Solid-State) cycle life by up to 35%.
A modern enterprise-grade Battery Management System serves as the central intelligent brain of rechargeable energy storage systems. For Swiss OEMs integrating high-energy-density battery packs into surgical robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), remote environmental monitoring stations, or electric aerospace platforms, safety and accuracy are non-negotiable. Our custom engineered BMS platforms combine multi-layered hardware and firmware protection mechanisms:
1. Active & Passive Cell Balancing Topologies: To counteract cell degradation caused by subtle manufacturing variations in internal resistance and capacity, our designs deploy micro-controller-driven active charge-redistribution circuits. Rather than merely dissipating excess energy as heat through passive resistors, active balancing transfers energy from higher-voltage cells to lower-voltage cells during both charge and discharge cycles, preserving battery health in multi-series configurations (4S to 96S).
2. Precision State-of-Charge (SOC) and State-of-Health (SOH) Estimation: Utilizing high-resolution coulomb counting combined with real-time Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) algorithms, our embedded controllers deliver SOC measurements accurate to within ±1.5%. This enables Swiss equipment operators to utilize maximum battery capacity without risking deep discharge or over-charge events.
3. Advanced Thermal Management & Alpine Heating Control: In Switzerland's alpine environments, lithium batteries exposed to sub-zero temperatures (below 0°C) cannot be charged safely without inducing lithium plating—a key driver of internal short circuits and thermal runaway. Our customized OEM battery packs incorporate integrated heating film controllers and localized temperature sensor arrays (NTCs), activating pre-heating protocols before allowing charge current to flow.
4. High-Isolation Communications and Functional Safety: Integrated CAN 2.0B, CANopen, SMBus, and isolated RS-485 interfaces permit real-time data exchange between the BMS, the host controller, and external battery chargers. Galvanic isolation up to 5,000 VAC prevents high-voltage spikes on energy storage buses from compromising sensitive system microprocessors.
Tailored power conversion and battery management solutions configured to meet the localized requirements of Swiss industrial clusters.
Tailored for medical technology hubs in Zurich, Lucerne, and Basel. Our medical power supplies and BMS modules comply with UL/IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition, featuring 2xMOPP (Means of Patient Protection) isolation, extremely low leakage current (<10µA), and high-reliability backup power for critical patient-monitoring and portable diagnostic tools.
Custom lithium storage controllers engineered for high-altitude solar installations and isolated mountain infrastructure. Built with wide thermal operating envelopes (-55°C to +125°C), conformal-coated PCBs, and intelligent heating control to ensure uninterrupted renewable energy storage during harsh Swiss winter periods.
Designed in accordance with EN 50155 standards for rolling stock equipment serving operators like SBB and Rhaetian Railway. Features wide 4:1 DC input voltage windows (24V, 48V, 72V, 110V DC), heavy-duty surge protection (MIL-STD-1275 compliant models), and shock/vibration resistant encapsulated packaging.
Ultra-compact, high-C-rate battery management units designed for smart warehouse cobots and automated precision tools. Incorporates fast-charge algorithms, continuous peak current management, and CANopen bus integration for seamless communications with motion controllers.
Delivering ultra-stable, ripple-free power supplies and miniature battery chargers to OEM test and measurement instrument makers in Neuchâtel and Jura. Low electrical noise profiles ensure no interference with micro-displacement sensors and optics.

Direct answers addressing compliance, customization protocols, logistical frameworks, and technical integration for the Swiss market.
Our power supplies and battery management systems are engineered to meet global and European directives, including CE, TUV, GS, CB, and RoHS. For equipment placed on the Swiss market under the Ordinance on Electrical Low-Voltage Products (NEV / ESTI compliance), our design team provides comprehensive technical files, test reports, and EMC declaration certificates (EN 55032 / EN 61000). For medical equipment, we design under ISO 13485 protocols to conform to UL/IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition.
A modified-standard solution takes one of our thousands of field-proven baseline catalog platforms and adjusts output voltages, wire harnesses, connectors, potting materials, or thermal derating curves. This path significantly shortens qualification time and reduces upfront non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. A fully custom design starts from a blank sheet based on your exact mechanical envelope, proprietary pinouts, thermal dissipation constraints, and specialized hardware/software safety logic.
Yes. Standard lithium-ion chemistries suffer severe performance degradation and risk thermal damage if charged at sub-zero temperatures. We design low-temperature resilient BMS modules equipped with automated thermal pre-conditioning logic, silicone conformal coating or full encapsulation to prevent condensation, and components qualified for operation down to -55°C.
Our in-house firmware engineers develop custom microcode for integrated 32-bit ARM microcontrollers. We support standardized protocols such as CANopen (popular in European industrial automation), Modbus RTU, and SMBus v1.1, as well as proprietary protocol definitions specified by your system engineering team.
We accommodate both low-to-medium prototype validation volumes and full-scale annual production runs. Engineering evaluation samples for catalog and modified-standard parts are typically available within 2 to 4 weeks, while custom NPI (New Product Introduction) cycles follow an agreed project timeline including schematic review, layout approval, sample delivery, and compliance testing.
Swiss industrial machinery and medical devices often remain in active service for decades. We mitigate component obsolescence through proactive component engineering, maintaining long-term bill-of-materials (BOM) sourcing pathways, and offering form-fit-function redesign services to prevent end-of-life (EOL) disruptions to your production line.
