Services

Hardware-oriented software, industrial tests and thermography for specific technical questions.

JC-Technology develops hardware-oriented software, connects sensors, actuators and industrial interfaces, installs temporary measurement and test systems when needed and summarizes results in clear technical reports. From hardware-oriented integration to quick diagnostics, endurance testing and thermal condition analysis.

Focus areas

Software, measurement and diagnostic projects that can start without a large system project.

A project can start small: with an interface integration, an embedded PoC, quick diagnostics, thermal condition and anomaly analysis, a short test or temporary monitoring over defined hours, days or weeks.

Embedded and industrial

Hardware-Oriented Software and Industrial Integration

For devices, gateways, industrial PCs, sensors, actuators and existing plants where standard software is not enough. The focus is robust integration, data acquisition, state logic, local tools and traceable diagnostics.

  • Hardware-oriented development and integration for concrete hardware tasks.
  • Embedded Linux, industrial PCs, gateways and local services.
  • Modbus, TCP/IP, MQTT, digital/analog I/O signals and device protocols.
  • Small specialized tools for testing, service, commissioning and diagnostics.

Batteries and charging areas

Thermal Monitoring of Battery and Charging Areas

For e-bike charging rooms, tool battery charging areas, company charging areas, residential buildings, hotels, schools or PV battery storage systems. Thermal anomalies, charging activity, operating states and temperature trends are captured and documented.

  • Thermal image capture and measurement point documentation.
  • Temporary or stationary monitoring possible.
  • Temperature thresholds, digital inputs, relay contacts and alarm states.
  • Report as a technical decision basis for operators, maintenance or further technical evaluation.

Test and diagnostics

Automated Functional, Load and Endurance Tests

For troubleshooting, load tests, wear tests and prototype validation. Components are operated over defined periods, cycles or load states. Temperature, digital and analog signals, Modbus data, current, voltage and optional vibration are measured, evaluated and summarized in a report.

  • Quick diagnostics for concrete failure patterns.
  • Short tests over hours or defined cycles.
  • Multi-day or multi-week endurance tests.
  • Digital I/O signals, analog measurements, Modbus and counters.
  • Current and voltage measurement depending on the test task.
  • Optional extension with vibration measurement.

Electrical systems and energy

Thermographic Condition Assessment for Control Cabinets, PV Systems and Inverters

Control cabinets, distribution boards, fuses, relays, contactors, inverters, DC distribution, connectors and battery storage systems are inspected thermographically and documented in a traceable way. The goal is a clear overview of thermal anomalies and possible next steps.

  • Thermographic inspection under real operating conditions.
  • Structured documentation with thermal images and comments.
  • Technical classification of anomalies according to the apparent need for action.
  • Recommendation for repeat inspection, repair, endurance test or monitoring.

Development services

Concrete support for embedded, test and integration tasks.

In addition to measurement and diagnostic projects, JC-Technology can support development directly: when existing software needs to be extended, an interface connected, a test tool built or a hardware-oriented prototype stabilized.

Firmware and interfaces

Embedded and integration development

Hardware-oriented development for microcontrollers, gateways, industrial PCs and device integration. The focus is on manageable modules, clear interfaces and robust communication with real hardware.

  • Local software modules, driver integration and hardware-oriented state logic.
  • Sensors, actuators, digital/analog signals and local device protocols.
  • SPI, I2C, CAN, Modbus, BLE/GATT, MQTT and TCP/IP depending on the project.
  • Support during commissioning, troubleshooting and stabilization.

Test software

EOL, HIL and validation tools

Small tools for end-of-line tests, hardware-in-the-loop checks, load tests and reproducible validation. Measurements, status, failure patterns and test sequences are captured in a traceable way.

  • Test software for test benches, prototypes and existing plants.
  • CAN integration, measurement acquisition, counters, digital I/O and Modbus.
  • Automated unit and integration tests with CUnit, pytest or xUnit.
  • Technical test records, validation steps and review material.

Existing code

Refactoring and technical documentation

Existing codebases can be analyzed, structured and modernized in targeted steps without rebuilding the system unnecessarily. The goal is code that is easier to understand, test and maintain.

  • Code analysis, interface clarification and technical classification.
  • Step-by-step refactoring with controlled change scope.
  • Improve testability and guard against regressions with suitable tests.
  • Architecture, implementation and validation documentation.

Mobile measurement systems

Android, FLIR and BLE integration

Mobile measurement and diagnostic tools can be built or extended with Android/Kotlin, React Native bridges, FLIR cameras, BLE gateways and local export formats.

  • Android/Kotlin applications for measurement, documentation and operation.
  • FLIR Thermal SDK, thermal streaming and radiometric parameters.
  • BLE gateways, sensor status, notifications and measurement transfer.
  • ZIP, HTML or PDF export for sharing and report creation.

Temporary installation

Temporary Monitoring System

If a condition cannot be explained by a short snapshot, a temporary measurement system can be installed for hours, days or weeks. Temperature trends, signals, cycles, alarms and events are recorded automatically.

  • IPC-based measurement and monitoring installation.
  • FLIR AX8 or other suitable sensor technology depending on the task.
  • Digital and analog signals, Modbus, counters and events.
  • Evidence reports and export of relevant data.

Examples

Typical test and diagnostic objects

Relay and switching cycles, motor/actuator tests, pneumatic components, gate and flap drives, electronics prototypes, IoT devices, chargers or customer-specific assemblies.

The goal is not the largest possible standard platform, but a suitable measurement setup for a concrete technical question.

PoC and feasibility

When a technical idea first needs to be proven in practice.

For new measurement, diagnostic or automation ideas, JC-Technology can build a small, testable proof of concept: select available hardware, connect sensors, cameras, actuators or interfaces, develop the base software and evaluate the results in a traceable way.

  • Feasibility testing with available hardware instead of a long preliminary study.
  • Hardware-oriented software for data acquisition, control logic, visualization and reports.
  • Local software modules, services or integration software depending on the project.
  • Industrial interfaces, Modbus, TCP/IP, MQTT, digital/analog signals and local databases.
  • Optional image processing, logging, trend analysis and non-invasive current and load monitoring.

Process

From a technical question to a solid basis for decisions.

1. Clarify question and measurement goal
Which component, charging area, operating state or failure pattern should be investigated?
2. Define measurement or test setup
Depending on the task, embedded devices, industrial PCs, thermal camera, temperature sensors, digital/analog signals, Modbus, current/voltage measurement or counters are included.
3. Measure, test and log
The measurement runs as quick diagnostics, short test, endurance test or temporary monitoring. Anomalies, events and measurements are logged in a structured way.
4. Report and next step
The report summarizes observations, measurements, technical anomalies and recommended next steps: repair, repeat inspection, longer test or stationary monitoring.

Positioning

Supplementary thermal condition monitoring – not a substitute for fire protection or safety inspections.

Thermal monitoring of battery and charging areas does not replace a fire protection concept or an electrical or safety inspection. It supports early detection of thermal anomalies and provides documented measurement data as a basis for further technical decisions.

Note: Thermal inspections document the thermal condition at the time of measurement and under the existing operating conditions. They do not replace an electrical safety inspection, a fire protection assessment or a complete risk analysis.
