From idea into series production
For over 20 years, we have been developing, supplying and supporting control units for series production. We deliver customized solutions - in terms of quantity, application and project scope.
Control units in series production quality - independent from the number of units
For our customers and us, the perfect interplay of hardware and software is not a question of quantity. We offer control units in series quality, customized for the application and requirements of the customer.
Our comprehensive system know-how and decades of experience as a developer and supplier of control units are the starting point. Each project requires an individual solution while the necessary process and tools stay the same.
We don't have to reinvent the wheel, just put together the best solution.
In combination with components already used in the series production, we have created a modular ECU system which enables us to develop and supply control units quickly as well as application-specific.

Control Units - Development, production and series support from one hand
As one of the few companies in Europe to do so, Schaeffler Engineering is able to work and develop according to CMMI Level 3 requirements and on SPICE level not only for software, but on system levels as well. In this way, OEMs can rely on the developed products and systems.
We offer our customers not only the highest quality low-volume control units, we also offer excellent service: with support from application of the first prototype to implementation in the series.
If desired, our partners from the automotive and commercial vehicle sector receive additional services, such as
- provision in case of component discontinuation
- stocking of components
- support during release planning
One source for hardware engineering, software engineering and testing of control units
Performance without detours
As a full service supplier, we are the perfect partner for the Automotive industry and deliver innovative solutions without taking detours.
In doing so, all processes, from system analysis to hardware and software engineering to logisitics, are continuously optimized and, of course, meet the quality standards of the industry.
We ensure that individual components function perfectly – individually and in the system as a whole. With intelligent electronics that work quickly, securely and reliably.
We also offer comprehensive solutions, from the concept to the product ready for series production, and we support our customers during the final production of the relevant electronics components.
Schaeffler Engineering develops smart solutions for all areas of the vehicle – whether complex systems or individual components. And we see to their implementation and accompany our customers up to series production.
This way, automobile manufacturers can rely on intelligent software – while at the same time, short innovation cycles become reality.
Today, innovative control units with intelligent software, in the most varied locations in the vehicle, provide optimal functioning and perfect interplay between all components.
As testing specialists, we ensure, in spite of rising complexity, that the development times remain straightforward, the testing costs are lower und the system safety is guaranteed.
