An electronic or automation device is not completed after the design phase of the hardware. In many cases, the device has a controller implemented, which performs a certain control algorithm and contains a list of machine instructions. This is provided by creating and storing program code (firmware) in the microcontroller's memory. Also, some systems may have a user interface for entering and outputting different parameters that are displayed on the screen of a computer or other smart device. For this purpose, computer software - graphical user interface (GUI) or mobile applications are being developed.
Embedded systems
Embedded systems firmware code programming. Top of the line technologies, adapted for fast
operation but optimised for energy resources, such as ARM architecture microcontrollers, are
used.
Firmware is engineered for data acquisition (measurement, monitoring), industrial equipment
control, data
display and transmission via conventional wired or wireless communication and other specific
embedded systems.
Graphical user interfaces
Design of Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Windows and Linux environments. Input of different
types of control commands using a standard computer peripheral or a specialised industrial control
panel, display of processes and embedded system monitored parameters, saving data to a local or
cloud service Databases (DB).
Linux systems
Development of smart systems, artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the Linux
environment for big data analysis, real-time visualisations and fully automated decision making
systems
in industrial plants. Easily integrated, cross-platform, efficient and high-performance open
source systems, such as RaspberryPI, are used.
Mobile Android & iOS applications
Mobile Android and iOS applications development. With the help of a smart device (mobile
phone, tablet, etc.) it is possible to wirelessly control remote embedded systems, make
adjustments to their parameters (change settings), monitor and graphically display the
measured values and ongoing processes in real time.
Programmable logic controllers
Programming works of programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Development is performed with the most widely used industrial grade Siemens and Delta family PLC controllers,
especially adapted for the use with modern and high-reliability automation control systems.
In certain cases, sufficient performance for performing tasks is ensured by smart relays (e.g., Schneider),
which can implement a sequence of actions, read digital and analog inputs, switch outputs
and output an indication to the operator.
