Embedded Systems
Client challenges
-
1
Lack of a single team with diverse skills required to develop a complete hardware product impact cost and time to market.
-
2
Inflexible product teams struggle to adapt with today’s fluid and somewhat chaotic nature of high tech product development.
-
3
Insufficient post deployment support and maintenance upon project completion.
-
4
Sustaining simultaneous programs to support existing products while introducing new products through a program of innovation.
How we help our clients
-
Requirements Development
- Requirements range from ‘merely an idea’ to ‘step by step implementation instructions’.We help clients to prioritize and expand them further.
-
Hardware Design
- We offer extensive expertise in Microcontroller and Mixed Signal SOCs and Embedded Microprocessor based SOCs. We also specialize in battery technologies (Li-ion, Li-po, BMS designs for robotic and automobile applications) and motor technologies (DC, 3 phase BLDC, Motor control system designs for industrial, robotic and automobile applications).
We produce future proof product designs to cater to emerging needs and also extend hardware re-design services for existing products with obsolete parts.

-
Technology Proof of Concepts (PoCs)
- We help our clients develop PoCs under constrained budgets, timeframes and offer component selection and evaluation service(component engineering).
-
Schematic / PCB Layout
- Our CAD engineers support schematic design and laying out PCBs with extensive expertise in layout design for RF circuits, EMC EMI compliance, multi-layer PCBs (4, 6, 8, .. layers) and achieve fast PCB manufacturing through partnerships in China and Taiwan.
-
Rapid Prototyping
- Dimensions of the PCBs and their placement within an enclosure are decisive factors in enclosure design. Our CAD engineers help our customers to take care of both these aspects. We have in-house 3D prototyping facilities and also work with partners in Sri-Lanka, China and Taiwan for fast enclosure manufacturing
-
Legacy Support
- We support legacy products with field updates, bug fixes and customized features.
-
OEM Partnerships with Leading Manufacturers
- Deliver market ready products with the support of our OEM partners in China and Taiwan
