What Solectrix does

Solectrix GmbH is an independent German design house and manufacturer of embedded electronic systems, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Fürth, Germany. The company operates a dual business model: (1) contract development services delivering end-to-end embedded solutions — hardware, software, FPGA design, and small-series production — for demanding applications, and (2) product sales of proprietary in-house systems. Its proprietary portfolio centers on embedded vision and modular computing, including the proFRAME video grabber and playback systems, sinaSCOPE digital 3D microscopy, SXIVE rapid imaging prototyping, the SXVPU edge-AI vision processing unit, and the SXoM System-on-Module family (COM Express and SMARC modules based on AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC with carrier boards). More recent product lines include an NXP i.MX 95-driven Open Standard Module for medical diagnostics and an NXP i.MX8M Mini-based SX Mobile Device Kit.

The company serves enterprise customers across medical technology, automotive (ADAS/AD testing and vision), industrial automation, professional imaging and camera technology, avionics, and telecommunications, with pricing structured as individualized B2B quotes rather than public list pricing. Distribution is primarily direct, via the company website, dedicated sales email, and trade show presence at events such as embedded world, MEDICA, and iVT Expo. Strategic partnerships anchor the company's ecosystem: deep co-design relationships with NXP and AMD/Xilinx provide silicon access, SGET membership aligns SXoM modules with SMARC standards, and 2026 partnerships with Vector Informatik (for ADAS/AD test integration) and EVONOMY Group (for software-defined mobility and industrial systems) extend go-to-market reach. The company is privately held by its three managing directors (Stefan Schütz, Jürgen Steinert, Jonas Höfer), employs approximately 140-160 people, and has no disclosed external investors or parent company.
