Electronics design

– a combination of software and hardware

Creator has developed many products whose function constitutes a combination of software and hardware. Development progresses in close contact with the customer. Creator has succeeded in optimizing the cooperation between departments within the company and can provide its customers the best possible characteristic in a product, with regards to its function, production, life expectancy and price.

These efforts have resulted in over 30 patented solutions within areas such as hybrid batteries, radio solutions, ergonomics, battery chargers, power electronics, ergonomic hand tools and professional measurement instruments.

”Close vicinity to the EMC lab facilitates smooth progression and time-efficiency for our electronics designers. The EMC testing phase is, for many of our competitors, an external expense that many often procrastinate on,” says Jerry Svedlund, Project Manager at Creator. “In cases like this, a failed test result can shatter the time schedules allotted to a project.”

Why we’ve succeeded with electronics design

Creator has gathered a unique experience platform within electronics design since 1982. And as product development moves forward faster than ever, our growing knowledge and proficiency becomes steadily broader and deeper - thanks to the synergy behind Creator’s walls.

A long-term joint effort with the electronics company CTEK continues to reinforce Creator’s niche within power electronics - a discipline that requires thorough knowledge and experience in analog electronics design.

A power electronics design must be able to deliver the necessary power with high efficiency and reliability. One of the greatest challenges when designing products using this technology is achieving a reasonable product cost estimate that meets demanding environmental requirements.

This requires more than just talented electronics engineers. Creator’s custom project teams consist of designers, prototype technicians and programmers who combine their efforts from the start and contribute their individual form of expertise early on in the project.

Creator also has the necessary long-term experience regarding production in low-cost countries and a well-equipped EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) lab adjacent to the head office. Access to a nearby EMC lab is as practical as it is economical when testing the reliability of a prototype’s electronics design. This is an extremely important link in the product development chain.

Knowledge in Radio/RF and energy-efficient applications is yet another discipline on which Creator has built several platforms. Radio and energy-efficient technologies are often tightly woven together, since the greatest advantages in utilizing radio technology is the freedom in positioning electronics and becoming cable-free.

Creator’s innovative, energy-efficient solutions for radio units have provided customers with wireless sensors that possess a ten year life expectancy in one little battery. Not only that, Creator has succeeded in designing completely self-sustaining energy solutions as well.

A customer’s product development requirements often include a long product life expectancy and a high level of reliability. Prototype testing by means of repeated exposure to physical stress and/or extreme temperatures are a few of Creator’s methods that ensure a product’s design is as durable as it promises.

What our colleagues think

“The close proximity to the EMC lab facilitates our efforts and promotes time-efficiency,” says Jerry Svedlund, Project Manager at Creator. “For many of our competitors, the testing phase in the electronics development process becomes an extra expense that they often procrastinate on. In cases like this, failed test results shatter the time schedules allotted to a project.”

Creator has succeeded in acquiring over thirty patents within areas such as hybrid batteries, radio solutions, ergonomics, battery chargers, power electronics, ergonomical hand tools and professional measurement instruments.

”It’s always exciting to be a part of a patented electronics design,” says Jerry Svedlund. “A recent product example that we are very proud of is the capacitance meter CB2000 that we helped ABB develop.”
