Software excellence for the battery, drive and power electronics: The electrification of powertrains and battery systems is the key to the emission-free mobility of tomorrow. ITK Engineering leverages its in-depth knowledge of the industry to develop high-performance control software for electric drives, intelligent battery management systems and future-proof charging solutions – from the initial concept phase to series production.
However, advanced e-mobility does not stop at the vehicle level: Our holistic e-mobility engineering approach is built around connected ecosystems. We bridge the gap between diverse vehicle classes, smart charging and hydrogen infrastructures, and sustainable energy generation. By uniting cross-sector requirements with digital connectivity, we optimize the entire interplay into a future-proof system.
Our services
Electric drives and power electronics
An electric drive is only as good as its control system: The key to a greater range, optimal driving dynamics and maximum energy efficiency is perfect interplay between power electronics, software and the electric motor. As a reliable development partner, we will support you in the complete electrification of your systems. Whether highly efficient pulse inverter software, clever operating strategies for hybrid drives, or the control of complex hydrogen and fuel cell systems, together we will bring drives into series production using a safe, future-proof approach.
At a glance:
Pulse inverter software that can be customized according to client requirements (inverter control)
Highly efficient operating strategies and system design for hybrid and electric drives
Software development for hydrogen and fuel cell systems
Performance optimization and thermal management for maximum range
Functional safety (ISO 26262 / ISO 25119) from risk analysis to safety concept
Rapid prototyping and model-based software development (MBD)
Charging infrastructure and charging communication
The success of electromobility hinges on the interface between the vehicle and the charging station. Only seamless, secure, manufacturer-independent communication guarantees a smooth charging experience on a daily basis. We develop and integrate highly compatible software solutions for charging controllers in vehicles (EVCC) and on the infrastructure side (SECC). We master global standards, actively focus on further developing bidirectional charging, and prepare your systems for future megawatt charging standards in the heavy commercial vehicle and logistics sectors.
At a glance:
Development of EVCC and SECC software platforms
Global standardization (ISO 15118-2/-20, DIN SPEC 70121, CHAdeMO, GB/T)
Integration of Plug & Charge and bidirectional charging (V2G / V2H)
Software solutions for Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) and High-Power Charging (HPC)
Safeguarding charging communication against cyber attacks
Interoperability tests and automated HIL simulations
Intelligent Battery Management Systems (BMS)
The battery is the technological and economic heart of every electric vehicle. Only a high-precision control system can ensure that maximum power is reliably transferred to the road in the long term. We develop intelligent battery management software and adaptive algorithms to unlock the full potential of your cells and significantly extend their lifecycle. We always act reliably in a spirit of partnership according to the highest safety standards.
At a glance:
Intelligent BMS software development (until ASIL D)
Accurate state estimation (SoC, SoH, SoF) and cell models
Battery-in-the-cloud and digital battery twins
Safety and security according to ISO 26262 and ISO 25119
Automated testing on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches
Connected and smart mobility platforms
The use of networked and smart mobility platforms leads to highly efficient economic utilization. Data is used transparently and systems can be trusted. We support your digital business models by developing customized platforms and cloud solutions, which are subsequently integrated into the value flow. Reliably and in the spirit of cooperation, as always.
Charging technology is constantly advancing as new regulations emerge and standards evolve. Increasing sophistication gives rise to greater complexity. Software, especially, can get very intricate.
From charging planning for individual vehicles to fleet management and the positioning of charging infrastructure at a municipal level: We provide intelligent software solutions to develop a custom solution for you.
