About GED
GED is a development service provider specialized in electronics and PCB design, headquartered in Ruppichteroth-Winterscheid. The company with 15 employees has been realizing time-critical and complex electronics projects since 1986 – from production-ready printed circuit board design (PCB design) through hardware and software development and enclosure design to complete device development including EMC testing, environmental testing and approval management. In addition to engineering, GED offers prototype and series production of assemblies: project planning, design-for-manufacturing (DfM) and component procurement are handled, PCB fabrication is carried out by audited German and European manufacturers, and component placement and soldering including AOI and X-ray inspection is done under its own responsibility. The team works with eCAD systems from Siemens (Xpedition) and Altium, mCAD SolidWorks as well as the simulation tools HyperLynx and Ansoft for signal integrity and thermal analysis. Special technologies such as 3D electronics, flex and rigid-flex PCBs, high-current and high-voltage design as well as embedded components complement the offering. Customers come from industrial electronics, medical technology, automotive, rail and marine technology, aerospace and robotics.

Quality
Every assembly undergoes AOI and X-ray inspection methods as well as a final visual and functional inspection including cleaning. Every PCB layout is additionally checked, beyond the DRC check, with the PCB-Investigator analysis tool and according to the GED checklist by a second employee; all PCB designers are FED e.V. CID or CID+ certified.
