Founded in 2017 –
a personal decision
Yamutec was founded in 2017 as an independent company for electronics and software development. The starting point was the conviction to develop industrial switching and control technology from scratch on a modern technical basis – instead of simply replicating existing devices.
When the future of the previous supplier, QUANCOM Informationssysteme, became uncertain, existing users faced the question of long-term alternatives. Yamutec did not have access to the development documentation and product information for the earlier modules. This led to the conscious decision to develop its own circuits, PCB layouts, firmware, and application software.
The goal from the very beginning: independent engineering work and in-house product development.
Why Yamutec technically new paths
A key reason for developing their own solution was the decision to move away from outdated communication concepts. Instead of copying older hardware and software architectures, the new modules were designed to enable easy integration into modern computer, network, and automation environments.
This led to the gradual development of proprietary product platforms with clearly defined interfaces and the ability to continuously develop firmware and software.
USB-HID – without a special USB device driver
In developing its USB devices, Yamutec deliberately opted for the standardized USB HID device class. Based on Yamutec's technical experience at the time, the earlier QUANCOM USB modules did not use a corresponding HID architecture.
With USB-HID, a separate, manufacturer-specific USB device driver is generally not required for supported operating systems. This simplifies installation, maintenance, and integration of the modules into custom programs.
With the self-developed software library YMLib, users can implement their switching and control tasks in different development environments.
Ethernet – direct TCP/IP communication in the module
Yamutec also opted for its own architecture for Ethernet. Instead of a solution where serial communication is merely transferred to the network via an external interface converter, TCP/IP communication is directly integrated into the module concept.
Communication and control functions are integral parts of the Yamutec modular system. Depending on the module, features such as encrypted TCP/IP communication and connection monitoring are available.
This allows the Ethernet modules to be integrated into industrial networks, test benches and automation applications.
A separate Product portfolio is created
From the initial development decision, a diverse range of electronic I/O modules has emerged over the years. The portfolio includes USB, Ethernet, and serial modules with relay, optocoupler, and hybrid functions, as well as various channel counts and power classes.
The product families are based on in-house electronics and firmware development. The associated software libraries and applications enable integration into various control, testing, and measurement systems.
Further development is carried out with a view to practical requirements: clear control, documented interfaces and long-term usable solutions.
Development and final assembly
in Germany
Yamutec is an owner-managed development company. Electronics, circuit diagrams, printed circuit board layouts, firmware and software are all developed in-house.
In-house, Yamutec handles essential manufacturing steps, including electronic assembly and mounting, microcontroller programming, and complete final assembly and labeling of the devices.
In selecting components, Yamutec relies, among other things, on products from established suppliers such as WAGO and Würth Elektronik, as well as high-quality enclosure solutions from Germany. Technical development and practical implementation are closely intertwined.
QUANCOM and the domain quancom.de – the historical context
The historical context
To provide users with a central point of contact when searching for information and possible technical alternatives, Yamutec acquired the internet domain quancom.de.
The acquisition of a domain name must be expressly distinguished from a corporate or technical takeover of a company.
Independent development
Yamutec was founded independently and develops its own electronics as well as its own firmware and software for industrial switching and control tasks.
The acquisition of the domain quancom.de was not linked to the takeover of previous QUANCOM development documents.
Yamutec Logic – a new development step
Yamutec logic technology expands the functionality of compatible I/O modules. Logical processes can be executed directly within the module, instead of requiring a PC to permanently control each individual switching operation.
Yamutec Studio 2027 provides its own graphical development environment. Users can create, simulate, and transfer control sequences to compatible modules.
The integrated AI support can assist in the creation, expansion, and verification of logic projects. With this, Yamutec is consistently continuing its path of independent hardware and software development.
Quality is a development decision
At Yamutec, quality begins with the very first development decision. From circuit topology and PCB layout to the selection of high-quality components and the development of firmware and software, we pursue a holistic technical approach. All key development areas are closely coordinated.
Development and manufacturing
By combining in-house electronics and software development with key manufacturing steps, we keep a direct eye on the technical implementation of our products.
We place particular emphasis on reliability, verifiable technical properties, documented interfaces and long-term development of our modules.
Software and customer proximity
Even after delivery, our customers benefit from this development approach. Proprietary software libraries, clear documentation, and practical application examples facilitate integration.
Technical questions and individual requirements can be directly incorporated into the development work – personally, competently and solution-oriented.
The future of Yamutec – Think ahead instead of copying
Since its founding in 2017, Yamutec has pursued the goal of creating independent electronics and proprietary software for industrial applications. The next development steps build upon this foundation.
USB-HID, direct TCP/IP communication and Yamutec Logic are prime examples of the chosen path: making technical decisions independently, developing solutions based on in-house expertise and continuously improving products over the years.
