Driven to deliver high-quality electronic products, APAGCoSyst has been a global leader in its field since 1954. Our company credo, the 5Cs – consideration, commitment, creativity, cohesion, and character – make us a well-trusted electronic service provider in various industries.

APAGCoSyst specializes in producing electronic control units customized to serve our diverse range of customers. Electronic control units or ECUs are small devices inside an automotive electronic system that serves as a control unit. ECUs are powered by a core chip with embedded software stacks designed to perform a specific function in vehicle electronics. 

Today, most cars contain as many as 100 ECUs for different controls – engine, lighting electronics, power steering, door functions, transmission, battery, safety features, and many more.

APAGCoSyst ECU Areas Of Specialization

We design and manufacture ECUs for automotive applications tailored for each project. APAGCoSyst uses a customer-centric approach for original equipment manufacturers. We have five areas of specialization – smart actor control, human-machine interfaces, smart sensor control, functional gateways, and software stack development.

Smart Actor Control

Smart Actor ControlUp-to-date with the latest development in electromagnetic compatibility and environmental guidelines, APAGCoSyst specializes in smart actor control. We design power stages based on customer applications, desired system functionality, fully-customized handling switches, positioning sensors, thermal management, and signaling.

Our ECUs are optimized for multiple vehicle electronics applications – electrically adjustable steering wheels for rake and reach, spoiler activation, chassis lift, and air register controllers. In addition, our development experts are highly capable of integrating electronics directly into mechanical systems, and we factor in space, packaging, mounting, and housing connector design restraints.

Human Machine Interfaces

Human Machine Interfaces APAGCoSyst’s designs are engineered with the user in mind. We manufacture vehicle electronics controlled through touch technology and replace mechanical switches for a more user-friendly approach.

We can integrate sensors on printed circuit boards (PCBs), foil, or mesh and provide haptic feedback. Through EMC optimization, we can develop mechanisms such as guard channels, sample hopping, or requisite software filters to avoid an operating error.

 

Smart Sensor Control

Smart Sensor Control Working closely with housing construction specialists, we create gauges for meter clusters, 3D design surfaces, lighting implementation, and other instrumentation. In addition, our lighting electronics technology helps us achieve homogeneous light distribution.

APAGCoSyst can develop single or multi-color lighting and change color for symbols and scales. Our experts are trained in display control, stepper motors, and lighting elements. We are also highly capable of producing signal processing and filtering for parameters such as fuel level, situation-based control of symbols, and complex interactive menus.
 

Functional Gateways

Functional Gateways At APAGCoSyst, our ECUs are constantly developed and improved to keep up with the advancements in vehicle electronics. Our functional gateways control our smart sensors and actors: interior lighting, aerodynamic control units, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) with visual or haptic feedback, augmented reality, and more.
 
 
 

Software Stack Development

Software Stack Development Our experts use our unique software stacks to integrate with our toolchains, facilitating lower costs. In addition, this allows us to handle data software, security, and configuration management.

APAGCoSyst can deliver software stack development for any ECU. Software stack development capabilities are also suitable for businesses new to electronic production, companies seeking prototyping, or specialty car manufacturers that design their vehicles but do not have an extensive line-up.
