Our solutions and services are based on Innovation

We initially forged our experience in the field of embedded systems for aeronautics, railway, automotive and boating. Today our skills cover a relatively wide spectrum in the field of electronics with a strong component in power equipment. To this we have integrated know-how in software architectures such as cloud, SaaS, IA, etc. by relying on virtualization technologies (VmWare, Docker/Container, etc.)

Outdoor Display & Outdoor Advertising

Our expertise in display systems is based on solid references. In 1995, one of the co-founders of STARCORP patented and developed the first generations of electronic gondola tags from Sitour Electronic Systems (now known as SES IMAGOTAG), a world leader in its field. Subsequently, developments focused on the first multimedia players capable of controlling one or more screens via the Internet. Specific solutions have been developed for on-board digital communication in coaches, or in environments such as hotels (ACCOR group) or shopping malls. Thanks to its know-how, the following developments have made it possible to create and deploy an IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) system in collaboration with TF1.
Today STARCORP offers display equipment for communities. They are based on very strong expertise in the field which gives all the equipment high performance and very high reliability.

DC/DC and AC/DC Power Supply  

We develop power supplies for many of our equipment. For AC/DC type power supplies, we mainly use flyback technology associated with a power factor corrector (PFC).

For direct current and/or direct voltage (DC/DC) energy converters, we use the most common technologies such as BUCK, BOOST and SEPIC type converters. Our expertise is based on the use of a large number of components from the main manufacturers in the field (ST, LINEAR, TORX, XLSEMI, TI, ANALOG DEVICES, INFINEON, MAXIM, ONSEMI, etc. Our products integrate all the protection mechanisms against overvoltage, short circuits, etc.

Our power supplies meet the IEC60601, IEC 62368 standard with very high MTBF (> 1Million hours) We specialize in the following power supplies:

  • Power supply for LED lighting equipment (indoor/outdoor => IP65 power supply),

  • Power supply for 19" racks with UPS function (Uninterruptible Power Supply) in 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U format).

  • Power supply for autonomous on-board equipment (device running on solar panel),

  • Power supplies to be integrated directly on a PCBA,

  • Open frame power supply.

We produce power supplies according to the technical requirements of customers.

Battery Managment System (BMS)

STARCORP has been developing BMS for its solar equipment for several years.The evolution of uses such as BMS for vehicle batteries or more particularly those of ESS have led STARCORP to develop a new generation of intelligent BMS.Indeed, this smart BMS is able to:

  • check the charge and temperature of each cell or each pack depending on the battery configuration,

  • activate a fire protection system developed and patented by STARCORP,

  • the BMS are interconnected (redondency mechanism daisy-chain) according to a device again developed and patented by STARCORP

This new generation of intelligent BMS responds perfectly to the security constraints imposed on high-capacity equipment such as vehicle batteries, batteries for vehicle charging stations, batteries for the home, ESS.

IoT Solutions

The IoT solution offered by STARCORP is based on a set of hardware components or finished equipment and a modular software architecture. The technological step to move from the electronic shelf label to IoT equipment was a logical next step. This is how STARCORP, through one of its co-founders, participated in the genesis of SIGFOX by providing the first antennas and a first generation of modems. Today, all the equipment developed by STARCORP integrate native or optional means of communication such as SIGFOX, LORA, NbIOT. Other means of communication are available such as BLUETOOTH or WIFI.
The software architecture is based on a docker/container solution in order to offer great flexibility, easy and fast implementation and totally proprietary.

MPPT charger (Embedded Devices)

A large number of equipment such as solar well pumps, solar pool pumps, solar street lighting, incorporate MPPT technology coupled with a charging system capable of adapting to different battery technologies. NiMh extended life battery, LifePo4 battery, etc.

Inverter (off-grid & smart grid)

STARCORP has developed, in partnership with a manufacturer specializing in the field, its own range of inverters. This is to meet specific needs such as frequency variation to directly power an asynchronous electric motor and vary its speed (in particular for pumping equipment). These same inverters are capable of receiving one or more battery packs of several kilowatts. A specific self-learning function makes it possible to balance the output power required according to the energy available on the photovoltaic field and the batteries.

Home Automation - Smart Home Security Devices & Systems

The home automation solution offered by STARCORP is totally innovative. It consists of a radio frequency module which can be integrated into several home automation devices (presence sensors, door or window opening detector with shock detection, pressure detector, temperature detector for freezer, light sensor, power meter, control box for light with dimmer, control box for electric gate, control box for motorized garage door, presence detector, etc.
In order not to be dependent on a single electronic component supplier, the RF modules offered are available in SEMTECH LORA, ST, TI, ESP32.
It supports standard protocols (ZIGBEE, BLUETOOTH, WIFI, LORAWAN, SIGFOX, Z-WAVE, THREAD, MATTER, etc.).
The modules can be customized with features specific to each client. We offer a prefabricated software structure. It is architectured on a database and MQTT encapsulated in a docker/container supporting load balancing mode. We then customize the application according to the requirements of our customers or we develop the API necessary to connect.
Devices can also be controlled directly by the client application if the latter already has a home automation solution and wishes to add new products.

Motor Controller

It was the production of brushless motors or BLDC motors that led STARCORP to develop its own electronic control boards and BLDC power driver board. We were a pioneer, more than ten years ago, in the integration of the controller card directly into the BLDC motor and in particular into the rear part of the Brushless motor. We have continued to innovate by integrating aging analysis devices in order to prevent possible failures or breakdowns. Whether mechanical or electronic.
The other innovations relate mainly to the very long service life of our BLDC motors and their ability to operate in severe environments (vibration, shocks, unstable supply voltage, overload, etc.) This in order to meet the demanding standards of railways, aeronautics, military, etc.
Most of the time we adapt the torque/speed performance according to the requirements imposed by our customers. We also make custom chassis so that they fit perfectly into the passenger compartment or the equipment in which it is intended. This is particularly the case in brushed motor retrofitting.
