      CAD Library

      Novatrace can fully relieve you by managing your entire CAD library. This ensures that you always have consistent and high-quality components that meet the latest IPC standards. Our tools and quality processes guarantee this; as a result, we have developed over 5000 components with a first-time-right score of 99,9%! We have developed a very user-friendly online tool where you can request a component after a secure login via a web form. You will receive an email confirmation of the requested component along with a ticket number. Novatrace creates the symbol ,footprint, and if desired, we also provide a 3D model and database entry, as well as a final check on all data. Once the requested CAD part is ready for use, you will receive confirmation again. The data is securely stored by us, with daily backups.

      Case Specter: The connected bike experience.

      Specter is an ambitious Belgian startup creating the most advanced s-pedelec ever. Aaltra operates as their technological partner, giving Specter the necessary input for the perfect start. The bike quickly became a connected experience that seamlessly blends with our daily routines, thanks to our work. We never compromised on quality and features while laying the technical foundations for the future. The result: - Helped define the budget for funding - MVP in under 12 months

    3. Case Sumura: From startup vision to market reality.

      Case Sumura: From startup vision to market reality.

      Sumura, an Antwerp-based startup founded in 2023, approached us with a vision to revolutionize urban e-bike charging and security. As young families increasingly replace cars with e-bikes for daily transportation, the need for secure, convenient charging solutions was becoming urgent. Transforming an innovative concept into a market-ready product that could attract both investors and customers, 
while operating within typical startup constraints of limited resources and tight timelines. The iterative development approach delivered measurable outcomes: - Rapid Market Entry: From initial concept to App Store launch in under 3 months - Investor Confidence: Successfully secured pre-seed funding - Customer Adoption: Dozens of active customers across Antwerp and Ghent spanning B2C and B2B markets - Scalable Foundation: Platform architecture ready for planned European expansion by 2026

    4. Case: Custom-made electronic controllers for chicken grills and ovens

      Case: Custom-made electronic controllers for chicken grills and ovens

      E.D.&A. developed an electronic controller with an innovative operating interface for chicken grills and ovens for a world-renowned grill manufacturer. The operating interface is built around a graphical, capacitive 7” TFT screen for operation behind a glass plate. The design has a modern powerful ARM microprocessor running an industrial Real Time Operating System (RTOS). E.D.&A. was responsible for the complete hardware and software development. The electronic controller has a USB host port that makes it possible to read or to change new recipes, software, HACCP logging and parameters in a simple way. Optionally, the controller can also be equipped with a WiFi module - developed by E.D.&A. - so that IoT (Internet or Things) options can be integrated. In this way, the devices are connected to the cloud and recipes and software updates are uploaded over the internet.

    5. Case: IoT application in an ATEX environment

      Case: IoT application in an ATEX environment

      E.D.&A. developed an energy-efficient wireless sensor for use in potentially explosive environments. The severe circumstances for applications in chemistry, petrochemicals and heavy industry required extra attention in development. The result is a sensor with IP69 gradation and a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.0 Electrical applications in explosive atmospheres must comply with European ATEX standards. The sensors therefore carry the Ex logo as a sign of approval by an accredited laboratory. The customer's backend application makes the sensor information usable for the process operators so that relevant information is immediately available.

      Circulaire electrical connections : Signal

      Circular industrial M-series connectors will play a prominent role in any machine fleet where electrical connections are made. Whether it's mainstream M8, M12 or M16 series connectors, or less common connectors like M5, M9, M23, M40 or even the 7/8" variant, Telerex offers all these options in its product range under the Signal brand. industrial M-series signal Signal offers a wide selection of sizes as well as all the standard codings. These include coding options within the M12 series, such as A, B, D, L, T, S and X coding. All of these coding variants comply with DIN EN 61067-2 standards. Signal connectors are widely used in Sensor-, Machine Vision-, Rail Transit-, Marine-, Factory Automation and Oil & Gas applications. You can integrate these connectors yourself into your own machine fleet, or we can provide complete assemblies for you. Both options are available. In addition to connectors, Signal offers a range of splitters, distribution solutions and adapter cables. These are available in standard formats as well as custom-made solutions.

    7. Click Solutions - Membrane keyboards

      Click Solutions - Membrane keyboards

      Our membrane keyboards are based on the patented “ClickTouch” technology: by means of high temperature deformation, we obtain keys with elastic spring zones and a long “travel”. The keyboards are user-friendly, reliable and have an excellent lifespan (up to 6 million impressions). Our technology offers various advantages over conventional membrane switches and those with metal domes. The keys are available in a wide range of designs, in various diameters (up to 35 mm) and different pressing forces. The keyboards including windows can be made interference-free by means of selective or full shielding. SMD LEDs, optical fibers and Electroluminescence can be used excellently as background lighting. In addition to our ClickTouch Dome, we also offer the usual metal domes. In certain applications, for example with high temperatures, this technology can offer advantages.
