New case study on our website: Successful cooperation between DH electronics and BYK-Gardner

BYK-Gardner develops innovative high-tech instruments, software and services for testing color, gloss and physical properties. The high-precision measuring instruments are used worldwide wherever color and surface properties are important quality characteristics.

For some time now, BYK-Gardner has been using the DHCOR STM32MP15, a solderable system on module from DH electronics, in its multi-angle colorimeters for the car refinish sector. The special feature of the new measuring device is that it is equipped with an RGB camera, which is supported by the STM32MP15-based SOM. In addition, the space-saving DHCOR STM32MP15, measuring just 29 x 29 mm, meets important BYK-Gardner requirements. The guaranteed long-term availability of 10+ years, the company's headquarters and production in Germany as well as the extensive technical support on hardware and software issues convinced BYK to work with DH. In particular, DH electronics' mainline approach and support in switching from the previously used microcontroller to a microprocessor-based solution were decisive for a short time-to-market.

The next step will be to develop a similar device based on the new DHCOS STM32MP2 soldering module, which stands out due to its extended camera features. The latest computer module from DH electronics' DHSOM family combines the advantages of a space-saving solder module with the benefits of a pin-compatible family standard. More information on the STM32MP2-based SOM will follow shortly.
