Technology
Deep understanding of technology helps to select the best possible technological solution. 2M Engineering has a broad and in-depth understanding of available technologies which enables us to make a quick and thorough assessment of what is needed.
Our broad understanding and experience allows us to quickly oversee, map and assess completely different ways to solve a problem and ensure that the best possible choice is made.
Our in-depth understanding allows us to work on the edge of what is technically possible and in many cases to stretch existing boundaries. This can differentiate good from great solutions and has yielded many new, patented, solutions.
2M Engineering has own technical strengths in the fields below, but we are always eager and curious to learn new things ourselves or expand our knowhow via our partnership network.
Sensors
2M Engineering has broad and in-depth experience across the complete spectrum of sensors, ranging from commercially available sensors to highly innovative, custom made sensors. 2M Engineering uses their expertise to develop and produce these sensors in-house. Sensor development can include mechanics, electronics, firmware, and software.
Laser & optics
Conventional laser and LED technologies have been matured for years and have reached their limits. New medical, consumer and industrial applications require innovative photonic solutions that use shorter wavelengths, more efficiency, significant size reductions and lower cost. Photonic Crystal technology is expected to provide the technological breakthrough in opto-electronics for the next decades. One of the spearheads in 2M Engineering’s technology roadmap is the development of new processes and equipment for these technologies.
Connectivity
More and more products transfer, exchange and synchronize content information with other devices. Think for example, about an MP3 player receiving music information from a PC. There is a strong trend to have digital information available anywhere, anytime, anyplace without restricting the user in any way. This leads to new wireless solutions based on radio frequency or optical technologies or wired fiber optics solutions enabling transfer of vast amounts of high speed data. 2M Engineering is active in many of these new connectivity technologies.
The technology areas above are based on the following in-house technology expertise:
Electronics
2M Engineering is experienced in high-speed (up to 40Gbps) analog and digital (FPGA, microcontrollers) electronics, including opto-electronic LEDs and photo diodes.
Mechanics
2M Engineering is experienced in mechanical construction principles, mechanical design, quality and cost control. Furthermore we have access to a wide network of dedicated partners from rapid prototyping to large volume injection molding production facilities.
Physics
Fundamental understanding of physics allows us to translate environmental, human and industrial parameters into meaningful information and solutions and assess different technologies to come up with the best solution.
Software & firmware
We write code for our solutions including data acquisition, control, analysis and end-user visualization and interaction. This includes embedded microcontroller firmware, PC applications and web based internet applications.
