Electronic product redesign (V2)

Your product sells, but it is starting to age? Build the version that keeps you ahead.

We offer electronic product redesign for hardware and firmware of your existing product.” We add the features your customers ask for, cut BOM costs, and replace parts that are going out of life. You keep what already works.

V1 product board redesigned into a V2 board with sensor, wireless, battery and USB-C port

Signs your product needs a V2

Customers ask for features the board cannot support: More sensors, wireless, on-device AI, a new interface, or longer battery life.

Competitors sell a newer version: Your product works, but it looks dated next to theirs.

BOM cost is too high: Newer parts do the same job for less, or one chip replaces three.

An ODM owns your design files: You cannot change the product, switch factories, or check what goes into it. That is a business and supply chain risk.

Parts are going end of life: One notice is a fix. Several notices point to a redesign.

New rules apply: RED cybersecurity and the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which applies fully from December 2027, need changes such as secure boot and secure firmware updates.

What does a V2 cover

We start from your V1. Your users, your field data, and your firmware tell us what to keep and what to change.

New features: We add the sensors, radios, interfaces, and on-device AI to your roadmap in hardware and firmware.

Modern parts: We replace aging and end-of-life parts with ones that have long-term supply.

Lower cost: We review the BOM and the assembly steps to cut unit cost.

Better firmware: We clean up the code base, add OTA updates where needed, and fix the known issues from V1.

We design for CE, RED, and FCC from the start, so testing goes smoothly.

Design ownership: If an ODM in Asia holds your V1 design, V2 brings the design data in-house, so you can build with any manufacturer. You own the schematic, PCB layout, firmware source, and production files.

Enclosure and industrial design: We work with your industrial designer to keep or improve the enclosure. No designer on your side? We bring in one of our industrial design partners, so you get electronics, firmware, and enclosure through one contact.

How we work

Review V1: We study your schematic, firmware, BOM, and field issues. We list what to keep, fix, and change.

Specify V2: We agree on the feature list, target cost, certifications, and timeline.

Design: We build the hardware and firmware together. You follow progress in weekly calls and in your repository.

Prototype and test: We build prototypes and test them against V1 and your new requirements.

Prepare production: We hand over production files, test procedures, and the full source code and support your first production run.

Case studies

Temperature module V2 for a pharmaceutical dissolution tester

The V1 module measured 8 PT100 sensors and had no network connection. The customer needed more channels and remote access.

We designed V2 with 16 sensors, Ethernet with PoE, MQTT data exchange, and remote control by commands. Resolution went to 0.1°C and accuracy to ±0.2°C.

Result: Double the channels, and the tester now connects to the lab network.

Tracktics V2: next-generation sports wearable

Tracktics sells a sports tracking wearable. Parts in the V1 electronics were going end of life, and the product needed an update to stay ahead of competitors.

Tracktics started V2 with us in hardware and firmware. We replace the end-of-life parts and modernize the electronics. V2 adds new features and better accuracy.

Status: In development.

Offer: start with a V1 review

You send the schematic, BOM, firmware access, and your V2 wish list. Within a few working days you get a written review with what to keep, what to change, and a proposal with scope and timeline.

Why Oxeltech

German contract. You sign with Oxeltech GmbH in Berlin. NDA first, then work.

Products on the market. We built electronics for products that reached the market, such as Tracktics.

One team for firmware and hardware. Board and firmware changes are planned together, so V2 does not stall between two suppliers.

Compliance built in. We design for CE, RED, and FCC from day one. Our designs have passed the FCC on the first attempt.
