Overview

We offer consulting and development services for embedded systems, covering hardware, software and system-level design.

Our core expertise includes ASIC and FPGA design as well as the development of high-performance software and AI-based processing pipelines. We focus on efficient implementation of compute-intensive algorithms, including image processing, computer vision and general signal processing, optimized for real-time execution on embedded platforms.

We support our customers across all phases of the development cycle – from system architecture and concept development to implementation, integration and optimization. For ASIC projects, we focus on frontend design, including architecture definition and RTL development. For FPGA-based systems, we provide deep expertise across the full implementation flow, including backend design and optimization.

On the software side, we develop modular and scalable processing pipelines, integrate AI models and implement real-time data processing frameworks tailored to the target system.

Our experience includes hardware/software co-design, mapping of algorithms to dedicated hardware, and optimization of latency, throughput and memory bandwidth.
