EDS 2023 highlights: ByteSnap unveils advanced electronic wireless lockset and shares electronic design best practices

EDS, taking place in Coventry this year, is the UK’s largest event for engineering, electronics, and embedded design. Attracting over 3,000 visitors, EDS gives attendees the opportunity to access not only ByteSnap’s latest services and innovations, but also workshops on industry trends and best practices. Here are some of the highlights from one of the vendors, embedded systems consultancy, ByteSnap Design.

The award-winning consultancy will be demonstrating advanced wireless access control technology for challenging environments and offering best practice on ATEX on Stand H52 at EDS 2023. 

ByteSnap director, Dunstan Power will also be speaking at the event on best practices on taking electronics design from conception to reality.

Advanced wireless access control technology demonstration

ByteSnap was tasked by a customer to integrate the electronics and software for a wireless lock controller into its existing product. The new lockset will be used in challenging environments including mental health units and hospitals to help safeguard vulnerable people.

ByteSnap’s engineering teams designed all the electronics and developed all the software for the new lockset.The upgraded design also includes a wireless receiver. The project outcome means that the customer can now produce its own locks at less than a quarter of the previous price. In addition, the customer is no longer reliant on supply availability and benefits from improved interoperability with 3rd party access control systems.

Electronic design philosophy: Taking your product idea from doodle to design success 

Sharing insights from his 30 year career, Dunstan Power will be giving a session at the conference on bringing an electronics product idea to market which includes how to improve electronic product design, navigate the complex manufacturing process, the potential pitfalls and how to overcome them.

The talk will take place at 2:15pm – 3:00pm, Wednesday 11th October, New Electronics Theatre.

ATEX design advice clinic

ByteSnap is offering advice on ATEX product design and certification services to visitors to its stand. Whether it is a technical specification for IECEx schemes and ATEX Certification, initial feasibility study, or complete product development, ByteSnap has extensive technical knowledge and expertise in intrinsically safe product design and has assisted clients through the processes involved, liaising with ATEX regulatory authorities, saving time and money on design, documentation, and testing.

ATEX; short for “Atmospheres Explosible” , relates to the two European Union (EU) ATEX Directives, which cover minimum safety requirements for work areas and equipment for potentially hazardous environments. 

Demo: EV charger development kit and white label installer app 

During the two-day trade show, visitors will also be able to see ByteSnap’s spin-out company, Versinetic’s new white label app for charging systems. The technology helps charger installers to locate EV charge points for set-up in the field. 

Versinetic’s will also be showcasing its popular EV charger software development kit (SDK), used by charge point manufacturers in prototype electric vehicle chargers. Versinetic specialises in flexible, modular EV charging design and consultancy solutions and was established by ByteSnap in response to growing demand for its EV design and consultancy services.
