Experior Electronics and Software Engineering is a
customer orientated multi-disciplinary
engineering consultancy company
We inspire, guide and support our clients in the development and
implementation of advanced electronics and software solutions in
electronics, wireless / RF and Software engineering.
Electronics
At Experior, we have over 20 years of experience in end-to-
end electronics development, enabling us to produce cost-
effective, high performance custom designs for our
customers.
We use the latest schematic capture and layout tools, which
coupled with our proven in-house design methodologies
and in-depth knowledge of electronics’ manufacturing
processes, enables us to realise robust analogue and digital
designs that are first-pass specification compliant.
We have experience working with high performance
components from all main suppliers, including
microcontrollers from ARM, Microchip and ATMEL, as well as
the use of USB, Bluetooth, ZigBee and 2G/3G networks to
link devices together and provide connections to users via
Internet-based services.
We work closely with selected UK PCB manufactures to
realise prototype designs and have strong links with reliable
off-shore manufactures for the cost-effective production of
parts in larger volumes.

Certification and Compliance
Wireless communication between electronic devices, web-
based services and end-users is one of the most rapidly
expanding and therefore important areas of electronics
development today. The correct choice of wireless
technology, power management design and the certification
of wireless products in order to bring them to market all
require specialist experience and engineering skills.
Additionally, at radio frequencies the need for advanced
design approaches such as electromagnetic circuit
simulation, manufacturing-spread analysis and harmonic /
spectral analysis all place extra demands on the knowledge
and capabilities of the circuit designer.
At Experior, we have wide ranging experience in design,
testing and manufacture of high-frequency components,
circuits and systems at frequencies up-to 26.5GHz.
Additionally, we have access to the specialised equipment
necessary to test devices and circuits at high frequencies in
both the small and large-signal domains, meaning we can
supply a full turn-key radio-frequency circuit design,
manufacturing and test service to our customers.

Wireless Standards and Certification
The advent of emerging markets such as the Internet-of-
Things, which encompass devices, communication systems
and Internet based services requires a holistic approach to
software development, where multiple coding approaches
on different types of device are required to realise robust
and functional systems.
At Experior, we develop code at all levels, from on-the-metal
assembler running on small memory-footprint
microcontrollers through to managed C# applications
supporting web-based APIs running on cloud-based servers.
For electronics and embedded systems we work primarily in
C and C++ for the development of applications and drivers.
For larger and more complex tasks we use interpreters such
as embedded LUA and Python or implement embedded
operating systems using various RTOS and Windows IoT
solutions.
We also develop managed code in C# or Visual-Basic using
the Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET and MVC4/5 for the realisation
of PC, mobile and web-applications. For clients wishing to
realise web-based IoT services, we can supply fully
configurable off-the-shelf website solutions with flexible API
programming options and full SQL database support.

Turn-Key Remote Sensing Solutions
At Experior we provide our own range of turn-key
sensing technology solutions that allow the monitoring of
a wide variety of parameters such as temperature,
pressure, gas concentrations, light levels, flow and
movement and the delivery of measurement data to
other equipment or end-users via cloud-based data
management and information services.
Our systems utilise wireless telecommunication protocols
such as ZigBee, Bluetooth Low-Energy and proprietary
sub-GHz solutions to realise local wireless sensor
networks covering areas of up-to 5km2 . In situations
where wireless systems are not suitable, our hardware
can be configured to connect sensors via traditional
‘wired’ methods using a range of industry standard
protocols such as SDI-12, RS484, I2C and SPI.
Our mobile-bridge technologies realise highly adaptable
remote sensing solutions that can operate from virtually
any location, enabling the development of new and
powerful services in the fields of environmental
monitoring, building infrastructure and machine health.
Turn-Key Remote Control Solutions
To supplement our powerful remote sensing solutions, we
supply a range of hardware and software that enables the
remote control of 3rd-party equipment such as valves,
pumps, motors, lights and heaters automatically from any
device with an Internet connection.
Our hardware can also be configured to communicate
directly with existing control systems using interfaces and
protocols such as MODBUS, BAC-Net or USB or
communicate with wireless networks using ZigBee,
OnEcean or Z-Wave protocols.
The setting of control parameters such as target values or
alarms that indicate to the user when a parameter falls
outside a pre-defined range of values can all be done via
our web-based user interfaces to realise powerful remote,
automated web-based monitoring and control solutions.
Machine-to-Machine Connectivity
The proliferation of wireless and wired communication
systems such as mobile telephone networks and Internet
links has seen a huge increase in systems to connect people
to one-another to share information and data. This increase
is now being mirrored in machine-to-machine and machine-
to-business connectivity solutions, where equipment which
previously required direct human interaction for use can
now be accessed remotely via wireless or wired networks,
with user interfaces provided through on-line web-based
services.
At Experior, we supply a range of technologies that allow
machines to communicate with one-another or users and
businesses in the cloud. Our hardware can be both retro-
fitted to existing systems, or engineered into new
equipment and products to provide devices and equipment
with an Internet presence, allowing for the development and
provision of new and powerful services in the fields of
remote control, machine health and supply chain
management.
The Internet of Things
The advent of low-cost, high-bandwidth telecommunications
has led to a massive increase in the number of people
connecting to other people or people connecting to
businesses via Internet based services. Whether it be the
use of social media, Internet Banking or E-Commerce,
billions of people interact with one-other and their service
providers via the world wide web.
What applies to people can also apply to devices and this is
encompassed by the The Internet-of-Things (IoT). With IoT,
devices will be given an Internet presence that enables
them to communicate in the way that people do today.
Whether it be maintenance systems in cars, room-
occupation sensors in sheltered housing, vibration detectors
in industrial machines or intelligent medication dispensers,
the number of connected devices is expected to increase
dramatically over the next 5 - 10 years as new and
innovative services that take advantage of device
intelligence and interconnectivity are developed.
At Experior, we have experience in developing and
implementing all aspects of the IoT data and service chain.
From the selection and integration of sensor and machine-
interface technologies, through to the implementation of
wireless communication networks and the development of
server and client-side web-applications, we can inspire,
advise and support businesses in the development of IoT
services for their market and business.
