Your next product is already taking shape
Built around the SpringSeed M519 OEM module and expertise focused on high security and performance, our engineering office develops identification and access control readers tailored to your product, your protocols and your industrial constraints.
We step in wherever specialised expertise saves time: electronic integration, RFID HF/NFC antenna, firmware, embedded Linux, smart cards, SAM and secure elements, regulatory compliance (CRA, RED).
This expertise is put to work on RFID/NFC projects across all sectors.
Cards & secure transactions
Expertise in DESFire, MIFARE DUOX, MIFARE Plus, Calypso and other ISO/IEC 14443 or ISO/IEC 15693 cards. Application design, personalisation, key management and transaction security.
Firmware, software & embedded Linux
Low-level microcontroller development, C and C# libraries, host-side drivers and tools. Design of embedded Linux systems, BSPs, communication services and secure peripheral integration.
Physical access control (PACS)
Secure identification in transparent or standalone (smart reader) mode, accounting for the product's physical security (tamper protection), full reader ergonomics, interoperability and SPAC certification.
Product development
Integrating the M519 module into a reader, terminal or access control device: electronics, firmware, mechanics, interfaces and support through to an industrialisable prototype.
Protocols & interfaces
Readers and equipment connected over OSDP or SSCP, with PC/SC integration over USB or serial interfaces when the project requires it. Exchange architecture, end-to-end security and interoperability with the host system.
RFID HF & NFC
Design, simulation, measurement and optimisation of 13.56 MHz antennas. RF matching tuned within the product's real-world environment, and preparation of qualification testing.
Security & compliance
Integration of NXP SAMs, Atmel-Microchip CryptoAuthentication / Crypto Companion components and the NXP SE052 secure element. Cryptographic architecture, secure boot and updates, secrets management, SBOM, and cross-cutting support towards CRA compliance.
Wallets
Integration of VAS, ECP1 and ECP2 protocols, SmartTap, and all NFC transactions with digital passes or mobile credentials. Support through to Apple and Google approval.
Projects that break new ground
Rooted in an agile innovation approach, the SpringCard team can take on the most unconventional project — one that needs to validate a technology, win over a strategic client, or showcase a new direction.
A demonstrator for your next trade show, a proof of concept, a working prototype, or the first version of a future product ready for industrialisation: we quickly bring together the hardware, firmware, software and security that will demonstrate your added value and win over your clients or decision-makers.
Our approach? Resolve the technical unknowns, cut out unnecessary complexity, and shorten the path to a credible demonstration — so your team is left with a solid foundation it can fully master.
Three ways to work with us
Accelerate your product
You start from M519 or an existing architecture. We handle the specialised parts: antenna, RF integration, protocol, secure card, cryptography, driver or embedded software.
Explore a new direction
We build a prototype or a complete demonstrator to test a use case, prepare for a trade show, de-risk an architecture choice, or make the case before committing to industrialisation.
Acquire a proven foundation
You can license a software library, an IP block, or a product design package created by SpringCard, then manufacture and evolve the solution within the agreed framework.
Feasibility study
Technical scoping and project constraints.
Prototyping
Proof of concept on an existing or new module.
Development
Hardware, firmware and software industrialisation.
Qualification
Testing, certification, production rollout.
Technical building blocks, fully mastered
Depending on the project, SpringCard delivers a prototype, a design package, source code, a documented library, test tools, or a skills transfer. Scope, intellectual property, licensing terms and the level of support are all defined upfront.
Projects can be run and documented entirely in French or English, with technical contacts able to work directly with your international teams.
How SpringCard supported AFCare and Doctolib with a mobility solution for healthcare professionals
SpringCard custom-designed the DoctoReader, a PC/SC and Bluetooth smart card reader for healthcare professionals, now used by nearly 600 practitioners with AFCare and Doctolib.
