Firmware development & support
The Brains Behind the Machine: Intelligent Firmware for Automated Systems.
Your industrial product or process automation system is only as smart as the firmware that controls it. We specialize in designing, developing, and supporting the embedded software that powers your devices, ensuring reliable performance, seamless connectivity, and precise control.
We bridge the gap between hardware engineering and high-level software, creating the core intelligence your products and processes need to excel.
Our Comprehensive Firmware Services
We provide end-to-end expertise for the entire embedded software lifecycle, optimized for industrial efficiency and manufacturability.
1. Custom Firmware Development
We write optimized, low-latency code tailored to your specific hardware and operational requirements.
- Microcontroller (MCU) Programming: Expert development for various architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC, AVR) in C/C++ for real-time performance.
- Operating Systems (RTOS): Implementation and customization of Real-Time Operating Systems (like FreeRTOS or Zephyr) to manage concurrent tasks, ensuring deterministic and reliable control.
- Peripheral and Driver Development: Creating board support packages (BSPs) and device drivers for sensors, actuators, memory, and custom I/O, maximizing hardware capabilities.
- Low-Power Optimization: Designing firmware to minimize power consumption for battery-operated or energy-efficient industrial devices.
2. Connectivity & Communication Protocols
We ensure your devices communicate reliably within the industrial ecosystem and the cloud.
- Industrial Protocols: Implementing standard industry communication like Modbus (RTU/TCP), Ethernet/IP, CAN/CANopen, and PROFINET.
- Wireless and IoT: Integrating wireless stacks such as BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and cellular (4G/5G) for remote monitoring and cloud-based data acquisition.
- Security Implementation: Building security features into the firmware layer, including secure boot, data encryption, and over-the-air (OTA) update security.
3. Support, Testing & Compliance
High-quality code requires rigorous testing and lifecycle support.
- Firmware Verification: Comprehensive testing, including unit testing, integration testing, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation to validate functionality and reliability under stress.
- Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Designing and implementing robust mechanisms for remote firmware deployment, allowing for feature updates and bug fixes without physical intervention.
- Documentation & Transfer: Providing clear, detailed code documentation and smooth knowledge transfer to your internal teams.
Why Our Firmware is Superior
Our deep background in industrial design and automation gives us a distinct advantage in firmware development:
- Design-for-Automation (DfA) Alignment: We write code that precisely manages the timing and communication needed for automated assembly and end-of-line testing of the final product.
- Real-World Reliability: We understand the harsh environments of industrial settings. Our code is built to be resilient against noise, temperature variations, and power fluctuations, guaranteeing high uptime.
- Seamless Integration: We develop firmware with clear, well-defined communication interfaces that integrate effortlessly with upper-level control systems (PLCs, SCADA) and your cloud infrastructure.
Don't let unstable or poorly optimized firmware slow down your product launch or compromise your automated processes. Partner with us to embed intelligence and reliability directly into your hardware.
