9 ways we can help you
Cybersecurity & CRA
Secure boot, secure OTA, SBOM & vulnerability handling for connected devices. We provide comprehensive CRA compliance auditing services. We also provide device & system penetration testing services.
Legacy modernization
End of life? No problem! MCU migration, RTOS migration, code refactoring, obsolescence redesign and security retrofits for devices already in the field.
IoT & connectivity
Connected device engineering: wireless and wired protocols, secure OTA (including A/B partition rollback firmware) updates and application or cloud integration for IoT products.
Embedded AI
On-device machine learning and AI distilling for microcontrollers and edge processors: sensor data, audio and vision models optimized for memory and power.
Industrial automation & PLC
PLC programming, fieldbus and industrial protocol drivers, gateways and integration for industrial and energy systems.
Maintenance
Long-term firmware maintenance, security updates, dependency monitoring and technical support for embedded products.
Standards compliance
Medical: IEC 62304, 60601, 62366, 82304, ISO 13485, 14971. Cyber & CRA: EN 18031, IEC 62443. Maritime: IACS UR E26/E27.
Hardware & PCB design
Schematic and PCB layout, board bring-up, DFM and prototype support for embedded devices, designed together with the firmware team.
Latest case studies
The client's problem, what we did, and the result.
Maritime
Reliable sensor data from vessels with intermittent connectivity
- Problem
- Sensor data on board had to reach shore-side systems even when the vessel's link was unavailable for long periods.
- What we did
- Acquisition firmware with local buffering and a store-and-forward transmission layer.
- Result
- Data collected continuously and delivered when connectivity returned.
Maritime
Monitoring on-board infrastructure to plan maintenance before failures
- Problem
- Failures of on-board equipment were discovered only after they affected operations.
- What we did
- Health-data collection on board and analysis that flags degrading components.
- Result
- Maintenance can be planned from data instead of reacting to failures.
Critical infrastructure
Remote reading and control of water pumps
- Problem
- Pump stations had to be checked and adjusted on site.
- What we did
- Integration of pump controllers with remote reading and control over industrial protocols.
- Result
- Operators read status and control pumps remotely.
