Softeq created an HMI to help equipment operators interface with stretch wrappers and re-engineered the embedded software that the equipment was running on. Lantech, a company that manufactures stretch wrapping machines for warehouses, planned to release a new generation of stretch wrappers with touchscreen displays. The company turned to Softeq to design a front-end solution that would help equipment operators interface with their stretch wrappers, and provide project rescue services to their firmware team.
Happiest Baby, Inc. The client invented a smart bassinet, which leverages embedded sound sensors to detect crying and automatically calm babies. The smart aspect of the bassinet was driven by a mobile app, web back end and a piece of firmware. The client was looking for a full-stack development company who could help with the IoT solution implementation. When I came across Softeq, I was immediately impressed with their professionalism and their customer list.
The smart collar is a multi-sensor wearable device that monitors a dog's location, physical activity, and behavior, and helps prevent car accidents. A globally diversified oilfield products company was looking for a service provider with strong roots in embedded software development to maximize the efficiency of drilling equipment.

Writing Code Writing embedded systems programming code is a rather time-consuming process. This is where the business logic of the application is developed and the functionality is implemented a indicated in the design phase.
Testing and QA This step is very important for eliminating bugs and non-compliance issues in the created application with the list of specifications before its release. The underlying procedures help avoid costly downtime and rework. Launching The launching stage includes deploying the application in a real-world operating environment and configuring and integrating with existing third-party software solutions. As a result, you get a completely turnkey solution.
Tech Support Technical support is required in case of problems with the operation of an already running software solution, as well as in the event of a need to reconfigure or upgrade it. Tech support specialists usually resolve problems within a few business days. Who Needs Embedded Software Development? Our cases. Talk to the Best. We will get in touch with you within 24 business hours. Send me NDA. I accept Sirin Software Privacy Policy. I want to stay tuned for Sirin Software latest articles and news.
About us. It can hardly be expected that the complexity of an 8-bit controller with a few kilobytes of memory in a digital watch could compete with algorithms in seeker missiles or process control systems, e. However, all embedded systems share common features - reliability and predictability. The more complicated the device, the more specialized the embedded software should be. This solutions allows the separation of tasks into smaller subsystems.
Reliability can also be increased by means of redundancy, i. In this way, the entire system can run smoothly even in the face of a critical failure. Platforms of embedded systems usually have high mechanical resistance and can work even in difficult environmental conditions.
Because embedded systems are closely related to the hardware, dedicated units should cooperate equally as close. This is often difficult because the work methodology of engineers is distant from the habits of coders. While the first group focuses on organizing and clinging to the outline, the other is much more flexible and prefers the trial and error method.
It is important to be very precise in specifying the requirements before commencing work and select the operating system, processor, peripherals, programming platform as well as set new milestones of production, which should be verified at the test level. These involve:. Such a formalized method allows for greater control over the consistent implementation of individual project elements. At least when it comes to the hardware side, but is it equally well suited to programming?
This model is nested in the belief that programmers should have a much easier time adapting the code for possible changes. Enough with the theory. In practice, any shift from the original specifications and design documents will entail delays and additional budget burdens. The software requires as much work as the equipment.
So, is it possible to approach the problem differently and lead to the synergy of engineers and programmers? The agile software development methodology abandons a linear, sequential action framework for an iterative-incremental approach such as Scrum.
Product development is divided into sprints of a certain time interval and takes into account the current contact between teams or the creation of one interdisciplinary team of specialists. Such teams are multifunctional and self-regulating; they bring together planners, designers, engineers, programmers and testers while abandoning any organizational hierarchy. Instead of extensive planning and design in advance, the project is carried out from iteration to iteration.
It should be possible to present the working version of the product to the product owner at every stage.
Feedback can then be implemented at the next stage of work. Developers are the ones to decide how to achieve the set goals. This is particularly important since software decisions are often reactivated, and developers complain about too late quality control, which translates into delays. This does not mean that you should entirely shift away from specification or defining milestones. However, the requirements defined at the beginning of the project are often too vague and subject to change, and their current definition allows better adjustment of the software to the real needs.
Because agile programming assumes close cooperation and effective communication, the team should set out the time needed for the next sprint, the necessary resources and divide tasks between themselves.
However, short meetings should take place daily. Even if they were to boil down to contact between project managers and be conducted at a distance via a messenger. It is worth spending 15 minutes to detect any difficulties. During the sprints, the client should have insight into progress instead of being merely a passive observer. His satisfaction is a priority, and it leaves a free hand only in terms of methods for obtaining positive results. It all boils down to the assumptions of agile software defined in in the so-called Agile Manifesto; the declaration reads:.
This may be surprising due to the fact that their beginnings date back to the s.
