Embedded System Design
Embedded systems can be found in most devices in all industries today. Over the past 30 years, IMT has implemented numerous projects in the field of embedded systems for medical and industrial devices. We follow systematic and structured approach to ensure the delivery of critical functions by embedded system in real-time with optimal resources utilization and high reliability.
IMT covers all aspects required for the design of innovative embedded systems. Our electronics experts deliver state-of-the-art hardware designs, work with PCB suppliers to obtain prototypes and perform necessary tests. The software and signal processing experts use the latest technologies in software development to optimize the footprint and reduce memory / energy consumption in the embedded system.
Our project examples include new developments, as well as lifecycle components replacements and firmware refactoring for devices in building automation, gas flow analyzers, medical devices like wound therapy negative pressure device, surgical microscopes, anesthesia workstation, neurostimulators, patient ventilators and many more.
Technologies used
We offer the complete solution for your project with our multidisciplinary teams in the areas of electronics, mechanics, software, signal processing, and regulatory affairs.
Embedded Hardware
We are proficient in the development of complex embedded hardware and familiar with a broad range of microcontrollers and FPGA. We harness the power of Altium Designer™ to design schematics of electrical diagrams and layout PCBs. Together with our EMC partners we fabricate prototypes and the final series of boards, and conduct module tests and pre-verification EMC tests in our test lab, by utilizing state-of-the-art measuring instruments. We prioritize cost-effective hardware design while keeping potential component obsolescence problems in check with the help of Silicon Expert™.
Embedded Software
When it comes to firmware development, our development team has the right acumen to define appropriate software architecture by considering real-time requirements, evaluating a suitable RTOS, and generating highly efficient and accurate code. Rely on our C++, VHDL, Python, and Embedded Linux (Yocto, Build Root) experts for fast and compact firmware development. Furthermore, you can benefit from our expertise in static code analysis and tiny ML (machine learning/AI in embedded systems).
DATAFLOW Software Tools
IMT has been successfully using event-based software architecture for the implementation of embedded firmware for customer projects. During numerous projects, we noticed that certain process workflows were not covered by the available development tools. Using our know-how from decades of software development, we created an event-based runtime - DATAFLOW Runtime – to streamline application logic on the target system.
In addition, we also created DATAFLOW Designer - an event-based embedded system design tool, that provides a systematic approach to architecture planning, development, and automatic code generation. These tools help IMT to be fast and efficient in the development process, allowing us to increase quality and serviceability while reducing project costs. We make these tools available to our customers so that they can easily apply the event-based approach to their own software projects.
