OEM / Custom Controller Solutions

Lytrix supports OEM customers with standard and application-specific electronic controllers, control modules and custom control boards for industrial, commercial and electronic equipment.

Projects can begin from an existing sample, drawing, BOM, specification or functional requirement. We help coordinate suitable solutions based on electrical performance, control logic, interfaces, mechanical constraints and production volume.

Flexible Levels of Customization

The appropriate level depends on the application, available solutions and commercial requirements.

  1. 01 /

    Standard Controller Sourcing

    Identify a suitable existing controller based on electrical requirements, load type, control method, dimensions, connectors and application.

  2. 02 /

    Existing Product Modification

    Modify an existing controller where feasible. Review connector changes, PCB dimensions, enclosure compatibility, input/output configuration, voltage/current requirements, sensor inputs, relay outputs, control parameters and communication interfaces.

  3. 03 /

    Semi-Custom Controller

    Adapt existing hardware or firmware for an OEM application. Review application-specific control logic and operating behavior: timing sequences, sensor-based control, motor logic, temperature control, fan/pump operation, relay sequences, fault handling, alarms and user-input logic.

  4. 04 /

    Custom Controller Board

    For suitable projects, coordinate an application-specific board based on electrical, functional and interface requirements, mechanical constraints, target cost and production quantity.

A new PCB is not required for every project. Project feasibility can be evaluated during the RFQ process.
