Mikrodev UK

Mikrodev develops and manufactures industrial automation and communication solutions, combining in-house expertise in electronic hardware, embedded software and SCADA systems. With headquarters in Istanbul and a UK office in London, we focus on helping customers monitor, control and connect industrial processes and energy infrastructure.

OUR PRODUCTS AND EXPERTISE

Our product portfolio includes programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote terminal units (RTUs), industrial communication gateways and SCADA software. By developing both devices and software, we can address requirements across the automation system, from field data acquisition and local control to communications and central monitoring.

Industrial interoperability is a core area of expertise. We work with protocols including IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, CANopen and J1939. These capabilities help connect equipment from different manufacturers and integrate existing installations with modern monitoring and control systems.

Our R&D capabilities include:
• Electronic hardware design, PCB development and prototyping.
• Embedded software development for microcontroller and Linux-based platforms.
• Industrial communication protocol implementation and integration.
• PLC and RTU application development.
• SCADA software and engineering tools.
• Sensor integration, data acquisition and wireless communications.
• System integration, testing and troubleshooting in field applications.

We bring experience in translating application requirements into practical hardware and software, with particular attention to reliability, interoperability and the constraints of industrial environments.

INNOVATION INTERESTS

We are interested in collaborative R&D that builds on our existing automation platforms while addressing emerging needs in energy and industry. Our priorities include:

Smart grids and energy infrastructure: Developing monitoring and control solutions for electricity distribution, substations and distributed energy resources. We are interested in improving visibility across networks through connected RTUs, sensors and interoperable communications.

Industrial cybersecurity: Strengthening the security of connected automation devices and their supporting software. Areas of interest include secure communications, device lifecycle management and security approaches aligned with IEC 62443 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

AI-enabled automation: Exploring how edge intelligence and data analytics can support anomaly detection, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and operational decision-making. We are particularly interested in practical methods that work within the processing, memory and connectivity constraints of industrial devices.

Wireless sensing: Developing low-power sensing and communication solutions that extend monitoring to locations where conventional wiring is difficult or costly.

Engineering efficiency: Improving the tools used to configure, program, integrate and maintain automation systems, helping engineers reduce deployment effort and manage increasingly complex installations.

WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A CONSORTIUM

Mikrodev can contribute as a technology development and integration partner, providing industrial hardware platforms, embedded software expertise, communication capabilities and SCADA integration.

Depending on the project scope, our contribution can range from adapting existing platforms for research demonstrators to developing new electronic hardware, firmware and software components. We can also support prototype development, protocol integration, laboratory testing and technical preparation for pilot deployments.

Our combination of hardware and software development capabilities allows us to help partners move from an innovation concept towards an integrated demonstrator and a potential commercial product. We bring a manufacturer's perspective to decisions about implementation, maintainability and deployment.

PARTNERS WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET

We welcome discussions with industrial companies, utilities, technology developers, universities and research organisations interested in joint R&D through Eureka, Xecs, SMART and other relevant international programmes.

We are particularly interested in partners with complementary expertise in cybersecurity, AI and data analytics, energy systems, advanced sensing and industrial communications, as well as organisations able to provide pilot environments and clearly defined operational challenges.

Our aim is to build long-term partnerships that combine research expertise with practical engineering and real-world validation, creating solutions with a clear route to industrial use.
