Engineering services
We also build the edge.
The platform reads machine counts over MQTT and takes meter readings from the meters. When the sensor, the gateway or the device you need does not exist yet, this is the team that builds it.
Capabilities
How we can help
Six things we have done since 2015, for our own devices and for other people's.
System Architecture & Design
We turn a requirement into a system that can be built, tested and maintained. What runs in hardware, what runs in software, and what the documentation has to prove.
- Requirements engineering
- Hardware/software partitioning
- Scalable architecture planning
- Documentation & compliance
Electronics & PCB Design
Custom circuits and board layout for devices that have to keep working in a plant. We design them so a factory can build them.
- Analog & digital circuit design
- PCB layout
- Design for Manufacturing
- Mechanical integration
Rapid Prototyping
A working prototype early, so the design is proven on the bench before anyone commits to a production run.
- 3D printing & rapid PCB assembly
- Simulation and modeling
- Iterative design validation
- Bring-up and initial samples
Firmware Development
Firmware for any microcontroller family and any real-time operating system (RTOS). Written for hard timing limits and for devices that are hard to reach once installed.
- Custom drivers & middleware
- RTOS integration
- Bootloader & secure update systems
- Industrial protocol stacks
Embedded Linux
Custom Linux builds and application software for gateways, panels and single-board computers on the plant floor.
- Yocto & Buildroot distributions
- Application development
- Kernel customization & optimization
- Industrial protocol integration
IIoT & Connectivity
Getting the reading off the machine and into a system that can use it. Wired or wireless, on site or to a server, with the link secured.
- Secure wireless & wired protocols
- Cloud and 3rd party systems integration
- Edge data processing
- Remote monitoring & device management
Engineering track
Industries we serve as engineers
Aerospace, maritime and medical work comes to us as engineering rather than as a platform license.
Aerospace
Satellite assembly equipment and ground support electronics for launch.
Maritime
Ruggedized marine systems that hold up against salt, vibration and years at sea.
Medical
Medical gas pipeline monitoring in hospitals, where an alarm has to be right.
