Electronic engineering and embedded software for reliable industrial products
We support OEMs and product teams from requirements through field validation, with a structured approach tailored to your constraints.
About us
DLF s.r.l. works as a technical partner in the design and development of embedded electronic solutions: boards, sensor/actuator integration, firmware, and development toolchains.
We collaborate closely with customers to translate cost, timing, regulatory, and operating environment constraints into sustainable, manufacturable architectures.
Our focus is engineering quality: requirements traceability, design reviews, targeted testing, and documentation that supports maintenance and product evolution.
What we do
Industrial embedded work across hardware and firmware: Zephyr RTOS, STM32/ESP32, bare-metal, integration, and CI/CD-backed delivery.
Firmware (Zephyr & bare‑metal)
Zephyr RTOS and bare‑metal firmware: drivers, communications, diagnostics, updates, and hardening. CI/CD for repeatable build-and-test pipelines.
R&D consulting
R&D support for architectural decisions and compliance context (e.g., Machinery Directive, CRA). Code review, proof‑of‑concept, and production ramp-up support.
Experience from real engagements
Representative examples (anonymized) of areas where we delivered value. Sensitive details are generalized to respect client agreements.
