Reasons for reuse and upcycling

There are multiple reasons why our embedded experts recommend upcycling.
Hardware/operating systems are often considered outdated, even though they are still doing their job. In most cases, such applications have been elaborately developed over many years and in some cases have already been in use for 20 years. They have proven themselves, run stably and are now almost error-free. 
In addition, they were often developed at times when quality was the main factor and not only costs determined the development time.

Other current circumstances   suggesting upcycling:

  • Supply chain problems
  • Availability of individual components (delivery times of 1-2 years for individual parts are not uncommon)
  • Discontinuation of components at short notice without compatible replacement
  • new device generations are often completely redesigned every few years, although only minimal improvements are made
  • Costs for components are getting higher and higher - a smart redesign could remedy the situation
  • Developments were made in regions or by individuals, where currently barely any documentation or source code is available or where there are justified concerns that development results will not be made available to local customers in the future.

And last but not least: Sustainability!   Everyone talks about it, but who really realizes it in the end?
Our embedded team faces this task and already has experience in this area.
Here you can read more about our references regarding upcycling.


We can help with all these problems! The following things can be done:

  • Analysis of the problem up to "reverse engineering"  des Problems bis hin zum "Reverse-Engineering" because of the missing documentation and/or because of the missing source code)
  • Examination of alternatives in case of temporarily or generally unavailable or overpriced components (software and/or hardware)
  • Examination of possibilities and expenditure for the alternative components / alternative solution
  • if necessary hardware design or modified concept
  • find cheaper, deliverable component or solution
  • adapt software, integration, test

We will be happy if you contact us.

Use of Chatbot

(1) This website uses a chatbot developed exclusively by us. The chatbot is a software-based dialog system that enables text- or voice-based communication with a technical system.
The chatbot operates on the RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach, retrieving data from a database to answer questions as accurately as possible. These data, along with the user’s question, are sent to the language models of OpenAI, Inc. without transmitting any personal information about the user. The models attempt to answer the question using the provided data and return the response. The data are sourced from one of our internal databases, comprising text documents with marketing information about products and services of the SIGMA Group.

(2) The following data are processed: session ID for user requests, the time of the request, the request itself, the chatbot’s response, the topic, and the language.

(3) We process this data to analyze the productivity of our chatbot and to continuously improve it. This includes the following purposes:

  • Chatbot performance optimization: We collect and analyze interactions with the chatbot to evaluate its efficiency and performance. This includes, for example, questions the chatbot could not answer, repeated inquiries on specific topics, and similar issues.
  • Enhancing the user experience: We use data to improve the user experience. This includes analyzing user feedback to make adjustments and expansions to the chatbot to better meet your needs.
  • Error detection and resolution: The data allow us to detect errors and issues in real time, enabling faster resolution and updates to the chatbot.
  • Statistical evaluations: We generate aggregated, anonymized statistical reports on chatbot usage. These reports contain no personal information and serve to analyze trends and patterns.
