Robotics, MBSE, Embedded Software Development, and Battery Technology
Robotics, MBSE, embedded software development, and battery technology for safe medical devices at the MedicalMountains joint booth in Hall 3 / Booth 3-216.
MedtecLIVE is Europe’s leading trade fair for the development and manufacture of medical technology. From May 5 to 7, 2026, the industry will gather at Messe Stuttgart. We are listed as exhibitors there and will be sharing a booth with MedicalMountains. So see you in Hall 3
Battery Technology in Medical Technology
How can energy storage devices be safely integrated into the body? The honest answer: only if the battery, housing, electronics, software, charging behavior, thermal management, usability, and risk assessment are all considered together from the very beginning. Especially with wearables, mobile diagnostic devices, and handheld systems, it is not enough to simply place an energy storage device inside a housing. It’s about stable wireless connections, energy analysis, intelligent power-saving modes, safe charging and discharging strategies, protection against deep discharge, EMC, and regulatory compliance.
Batteries are currently a key focus for us and also serve as the bridge between robotics, MBSE, and embedded software development. Our range of services includes battery integration, testing for compliance with regulations and standards, and thermal management for battery packs and complete systems. At the same time, we demonstrate—for example in portable medical technology concepts—how wearability, data security, sensor accuracy, and energy requirements are integrated into a clean system architecture.
A partially reusable irrigation system for intraoperative use demonstrates how concrete this becomes. For this, B&W developed compact drive electronics, embedded software in C, a 4-channel Li-ion charging station, battery protection circuits, EMC-optimized layouts, and the technical preparation for testing and MDR-compliant development. Such projects demonstrate how energy storage systems can be integrated safely, efficiently, and in a user-friendly manner within the medical environment. https://buw-engineering.com/en/erfolgsgeschichte/embedded-software-and-electronics-for-a-partially-reusable-flushing-system/
Robotics, MBSE, and embedded software are converging …
We have been active in the medical technology sector since 1996, developing clinical devices, home-use devices, surgical instruments, implants, and laboratory equipment. This includes projects such as developing the core components of a surgical robot or an optical alignment system for a surgical microscope. At MedtecLIVE, we will demonstrate how such systems are developed through an interdisciplinary approach.
One of our key focuses is MBSE. This model-based approach integrates requirements, functions, mechanics, electronics, and software into a single digital system model. This makes dependencies visible early on, ensures that changes are traceable, and makes decisions more robust. For complex medical devices, this reduces friction between disciplines and creates a clear development logic: https://buw-engineering.com/angewandtes-model-based-systems-engineering/
Equally central is embedded software development. B&W develops hardware-related software, covering everything from requirements analysis, architecture, implementation, and interfaces through to testing, validation, and production support. The software is designed as part of the overall system, taking into account safety functions, low-power design, updatability, and regulatory requirements such as IEC 62304 or ISO 14971.
May 5–7, 2026 | Messe Stuttgart
MedtecLIVE 2026 will take place from Tuesday through Thursday at Messe Stuttgart. It is open on May 5 and 6 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on May 7 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Hall 3 / Booth 3-216 | B&W with MedicalMountains
B&W Engineering is listed in the official exhibitor directory in Hall 3 / Booth 3-216; MedicalMountains is listed at the same booth and is using it as a shared booth.

Behind the scenes
At trade shows, it’s not about who talks the most. It’s about who comes prepared for the conversation. We refine our topics in advance, coordinate project examples internally, and determine which representatives will be at the booth on which days.
- We bundle questions from robotics, MBSE, embedded software, and battery technology into concrete conversation starters.
- We determine which success stories, project examples, and technical details we can present briefly and clearly at the booth.
- We schedule appointments so that visitors can speak directly with the appropriate technical contacts.
- We also plan the first day of the trade show with the networking evening at the joint booth in mind.
Let us know in advance what you’re currently working on. That way, we’ll come to the meeting prepared—with relevant questions, the right contacts, and less downtime at the booth.
