"Why underwater robotics?
Out of passion!"

- Christian Dreyschultze

Today we can offer you a wide range of services related to ROVs and their hardware and software development.

German engineering knowledge and Hungarian prices:
This is Aspidron

Since our engineering office was founded in 2007, we have been offering a range of services in the field of product development. The proximity to technical universities in Hungary and Germany and the resulting exchange of knowledge have always been the driving force behind our innovation and our quality standards.

Automation technology became our core business in 2016. Initially as a trusted partner to a close group of German customers, we specialized in electronics development and later on in underwater robotics. Today we can offer you a wide range of services related to ROVs and their hardware and software development.

We combine German engineering expertise with the cost advantages of our location in Hungary. For our customers this means: top quality at affordable prices.

Cooperation between EU countries strengthens Europe as a business location.

Our heart beats for Europe.

We are convinced that close cooperation between the EU countries strengthens Europe as a business location and thus ensures prosperity and quality of life on our continent.

Like all companies, European companies must always keep an eye on their research, development and production costs. In today's globalized world, more and more activities are therefore being outsourced to countries with lower wage costs. Often distant countries with completely different value systems have the greatest cost advantage. However, this is often associated with serious uncertainties:

  • Is the intellectual property safe there?
  • Are the working conditions and environmental protection standards there compatible with our corporate values?
  • Are our quality requirements consistently met?
  • Are the long delivery routes and the numerous resulting dependencies even worthwhile?

We offer you an alternative: Take advantage of the intra-European wage differences and benefit from the European value system at the same time. When you place a development or production order with us, we prioritize manufacturers and suppliers from Europe and provide you with trusted quality on short routes.

Dipl.-Ing. Christian Dreyschultze

Born in Northern Germany, Christian Dreyschultze studied systems engineering and technical cybernetics at the Technical University of Magdeburg. His studies included the fundamentals of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering and focused on the mathematical modeling and control of technical systems.

His knowledge of systems theory and control engineering became apparent during his work for various research institutes such as the ↗ Fraunhofer IFF and the ↗ Max-Planck- Institute for Complex Technical Systems appreciated. Several ↗ publications in international journals date from his time as a doctoral student.

During his time at the ↗ DSPACE GmbH he designed HIL simulators (Hardware-in-the-Loop) before taking on a managerial role in the research and development department of ↗ Mariscope Meerestechnik . There he deepened his interest in underwater robotics and gained international experience in field operations in Chile, Estonia and Spain.

After moving to Hungary in 2016, he continued his work for Mariscope Meerestechnik before becoming a partner and ultimately managing director of our engineering office.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions

No. We are a service provider and not a producer. Our partners include ROV manufacturers, whom we support in product development and with whom we do not want to compete. If, as a user, you inquire about an ROV, we will be happy to find you a suitable manufacturer and support you in handling the project.
We are a Kft., The Hungarian form of the German GmbH. Our team consists of the founders, management, accounting and strategic consultants. In addition, there are freelancers and committed students on a project basis. Usually we are no more than 8 people.
Yes, that's right. Since we don't manufacture ROVs but their components and electronics Hungary as a location has a number of advantages. The training quality of the skilled workers is excellent, the digital infrastructure is very good and the distances to the rest of Europe are short. In addition, thanks to the lower labor costs, we can offer many services at lower prices.
So far, we have been satisfied with a small group of customers and have no public presence. It was only during the pandemic that we decided to position ourselves more broadly. This website and a little presence in social media are used for this. But we prefer it when satisfied customers recommend us to others. For reasons of discretion, we only provide detailed references on request.
We negotiate our fee for every project. As a rule, we are around 30% cheaper than our competitors from Germany.
