Industries & Use Cases for Electric Drive Systems
HighTechCOM supports OEMs and engineering teams across multiple industries where high-performance electric drive systems and robust motor controller firmware are critical. On this page you can see typical applications and how our drive systems and engineering services fit into your products.
Electric motorcycles & scooters
High power density, smooth acceleration and reliable torque control are key for electric motorcycles, scooters and performance LEVs.
- 12 kW drive systems with field-oriented control
- High torque at low speed and stable start-up behaviour
- Thermal management and protection for harsh environments
Typical contributions from HighTechCOM:
- Drive Systems for e-mobility
- FOC start-up and low-speed tuning
- Real-time optimisation for STM32 motor control
- Motor drive protection and safety concepts
Light electric vehicles & cargo applications
Cargo bikes, delivery vehicles and other LEVs require efficient, quiet drives with high uptime and minimum maintenance.
- Efficient control at partial load and low speeds
- Smooth behaviour in stop-and-go operation
- Robustness against misuse and overload
How we typically help:
- Engineering & firmware overview
- STM32 MCSDK integration and control loops
- Complete product development support
Construction & heavy equipment
In construction machinery, electric drives must survive shocks, dust, large temperature swings and long duty cycles.
- Ruggedised drive system hardware
- Protection against overcurrent, overtemperature and abuse
- Drop and vibration resistance of enclosures and assemblies
Relevant services:
- Protection and fault handling strategies
- Drop test simulation for electronics and enclosures
- Mechanical CAD design and drawings
- Fatigue life prediction (S-N / ε-N assessment)
Boats & marine applications
Electric drives for boats require high torque, corrosion resistance and robust protection against moisture and condensation.
- High-torque drive systems for propellers and thrusters
- Careful thermal and current derating strategies
- Protection concepts for moisture and sensor faults
Typical building blocks:
- HighTechCOM Drive Systems
- STM32 motor control consulting and remote testing
- Topology optimisation for lightweight structures
Industrial automation & robotics
Industrial machines and robots need precise position and speed control, often with tight cycle times and demanding safety requirements.
- Precise control loops with deterministic timing
- Integration into existing control and safety architectures
- Optimised firmware for high switching frequencies
Services frequently used in this area:
- Real-time optimisation for timing, PWM, ADC and DMA
- Engineering & firmware consulting
- Services overview – engineering & firmware consulting
Custom & special machinery
Many of our projects fall into the category of special machinery: laboratory equipment, test benches, custom automation and one-off drive systems that never become catalogue products.
- Feasibility studies and architecture decisions
- Prototyping and quick firmware bring-up
- Support for internal teams during peak workload
For these applications we often combine several of our services:
