About adhoc Hard- und Software
adhoc Hard- und Software GmbH & Nfg KG was founded in 1986 as a technical office and has been developing and producing electronic systems and equipment at its location in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee since 1995. The range of services includes hardware development (circuit design, simulation, PCB design according to IPC standards), software development (microcontroller firmware, FPGA/VHDL, PC, mobile and web applications, HMI, AI systems) as well as IoT development for connected embedded systems. In its own manufacturing facility, PCBs are populated semi- and fully automatically (SMD), including solder paste printing, selective soldering, QFN/BGA rework, cable assembly and device assembly. Lot sizes range from prototypes and micro series starting at 2 pieces to small series of up to 20,000 pieces; large series are implemented with external partners. A dedicated test engineering department operates automated functional testing, measurement stations for digital technology, audio and RF measurement technology as well as its own EMC measurement chamber. Typical fields of application include medical technology, industrial metrology, automation, apparatus engineering as well as control and regulation technology.
