Research & development

Has always been our passion

Competence and experience

Research and development is one of our core sectors. Our great expertise in research and development projects has its origin not insignificantly in the vita of our company founders and makes us your ideal partner.

With enthusiasm and passion, our developers and engineers are eager to learn about your requirements and innovative developments.

You have the device to be tested, but not yet a test system or test system concept?

You do not yet have an overview of the entire scope of tests that will be required later and would like to remain flexible and scalable?

You would like to create a prototype in parallel to the test system development?

You want a development tester that is also suitable as a series tester later on?

Research group in laboratory

We support and advise you in all project phases – from planning to development – and create future-proof test and inspection systems for you.

Your test system is built in such a way that you can cover all known and future test requirements with an expandable hardware configuration and an internal test configuration or test sequencing. We achieve this great flexibility with customer-specific developed test tools and use the scalable test stand software TestMasterÂź for test stands and test centers.

    • artistic image of electronic components

      Electronics and development testers

      Development testers for testing electronic components are an important tool for verifying quality and function. In addition to an electrical test, a simulation of the missing components is often implemented. However, the test objective can also be the validation of the microcontroller software used. S.E.A masters the whole field of requirements. This also includes environmental simulation and the simulation of all signals or complex sensors and bus systems.

    What our customers say

    Die Forschungsschiffe des AWI sind seit diversen Jahren mit einem einheitlichen Datenerfassungs- und Managementsystem DShip ausgestattet. Unser Ziel war es, dieses auf die Polarflugzeuge zu ĂŒbertragen. FĂŒr die Anpassung an die sehr viel höhere Geschwindigkeit eines Flugzeugs im Vergleich zu einem Schiff musste das System um den Faktor 1000 schneller werden. Eine reine Software-Lösung kam demzufolge nicht mehr infrage. Der Datenerfassungsteil mit der hochprĂ€zisen Zeitsynchronisierung musste in neu zu entwickelnde Hardware ĂŒbertragen werden.

    Die Firma S.E.A. hat es verstanden, diesen Part zu ĂŒbernehmen und die notwendige Adaption zu bewerkstelligen. Es liegt in der Natur der Sache, dass bei derartigen Prototypen im Herstellungsprozess zusĂ€tzliche Modifikationen außerhalb der eingangs getroffenen Spezifikationen erforderlich werden. S.E.A. hat diese Ă€ußerst kompetent und unkompliziert angenommen und umgesetzt. Die gesamte Herstellungsphase verlief kooperativ und freundlich. Das gilt auch fĂŒr den fortlaufenden Service der Firma. In der Zwischenzeit ist das System um zusĂ€tzliche Sensorik fĂŒr die beiden Polarflugzeuge erweitert worden und ein Helikopter des Forschungseisbrechers Polarstern wurde mit dem System ausgestattet.

    DLR Mission Control Center Philae

    Spacecraft of the European Space Agency ESA

    The data processing, i.e. the processing and the data distribution to the different workstations, was realized in this project with a configurable data management system (SpaceMasterÂź) from S.E.A.. For the integration tests of the lander, elaborate check-out systems were required, which evaluated and checked the logical data traffic between the control center and the satellite, i.e. the telemetry and telecommand functionalities.
