CONSULTING

Trios Technologies provides consulting for embedded software development and hardware services. We use our knowledge and expertise to solve problems at every stage of application development, product development, process automation and monitoring of various parameters using sensors in industries. Companies can either hand off projects for us to develop for them, or we can join the existing customer team to provide experienced engineers with little or no rampup time. They can also leverage our decades of embedded software expertise to learn new best practices in agile embedded software development.

We offer a tailor-made package to our customers: from consulting to development and production – all from one source!

As a result of our consulting services, our customers will have a product concept, in which all technological aspects from hardware to application software are defined. The concept has also been tested for all the scenarios defined and with the actual application/environment. Therefore, customers are provided with a clear plan on how to implement the solution.

We offer the following Consulting services:

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

To help completing the embedded system design on schedule, by resource augmentation or by sharing engineering expertise to your design team, or setting up development tools and processes so you can focus on the domain-specific code development. Trios team will help you build better Hardware & Firmware, faster.

ARCHITECTURE CONSULTING

Our extensive knowledge of embedded systems can provide architectural alternatives and best practices to help and guide teams to develop safer, more reliable and secure products and to achieve the cost targets. The right architecture makes software upgrades easier and cheaper to implement and deploy, and simplifies handling of unexpected events and component failures..

Field Deployment and Failure Analysis

Our engineers assist in field deployment of products, to perform system Integration work, to evaluate the performance, to install & commission the products in the field and to train the users on the complex products and systems.

As part of product sustenance and support, we carry out failure analysis either in the field or in the labs, recreate the failures to resolve them.

Product Life-cycle Support

We support our customers to extend the product life cycle by replacing and repairing the failed parts in the field. We cater for the product or parts obsolescence by replacing with the equivalent and latest part. We also support Product upgradation by designing add-ons both in Hardware and software and avoiding the re-design of the entire product and extend the product life cycle.

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT CONSULTING

Our engineers help clients create, implement, and improve embedded software development processes to strengthen embedded systems from the design up. All processes used are industry- recognized and known to increase product reliability, safety and security, while also reducing the time spent during the debugging phase.

CASE STUDIES

ANTENNA POSITIONING SYSTEMS

Client Overview

Defense company with several regional offices in India and primarily manufactures advanced electronic products for the Indian Armed Forces.

Client required a system that needs to position their RF antenna towards their specified target for communication. They required user control with different modes and communication should always be IP Based.

Solution

Designed a control unit for varying the position of antenna .The system is made with 1 degree accuracy with emergency stop at any moment. Factory acceptance test was carried out by placing the unit over an 18 meter mast and positioned towards the target. The unit is checked with all the modes and it attains 100 % accuracy in all the modes. The unit is subject to wind test and temperature test to ensure it work under any conditions.

PULSE COMPRESSION RADAR SUBSYSTEMS

Client Overview

For a Space research organization which aims to harness space technology for the development of the technology.

Business Scenario

A unit was developed to control the radar using system and joystick. Unit works in two ways. Auto mode and Manual Mode. Communication frequency should be below 10 Hz

Solution

The unit is developed using GUI and joystick to move in an elevated direction. System is designed to operate in two modes, velocity and torque mode. The position details of the unit should be displayed to the user in the system. It has counter torque on either side for accuracy. Communication frequency was established below 10 Hz

MULTI SENSOR SYSTEMS (MSS)

Client Overview

A world class air force company that deals with anti-terrorist activities in all its manifestation.

Business Scenario

Client Required a Surveillance System to detect long distance unusual activates in the Airport Terminals.Approximately the distance of surveillance should be 2 kms and activites should be monitored 24/7 using the same system.

Solution

System was designed to detect the objects that are not visible to the naked after certain distance and the distance of the Particular object also be calculated. Designed as portable device with 6 hours battery backup. Easily accessible device with user interface system and it can also be monitored within the network.Day and Night Vision Available

SMART WIP

Client Overview

To an American multinational company that manufactures products and provides engineering services for a wide range of industrial, commercial and consumer markets.

Business Scenario

Automate the material movement tracking on warehouse that holds petroleum valves. Tracing should be done in three ways Sensor Control in the rack for tracking the products RF Controller Unit in the robot that carry products Data Processing Unit to transfer the data.

Solution

Sensor controller unit is designed to wait for sensor values connected to it. On receiving values, a trigger signal would be transmitted to the RF controller unit along with the Sensor and Controller ID.

RF Controller Unit is the one connected to stacker and wait for the Sensor Controller unit’s query signal. This device reads the RF readers query and transmit the read data to the ‘Data Processing Unit’ Data processing Unit is connected to the system to receive data transferred by the ‘RF Controller unit’ and ‘Sensor Controller unit’

Value Added Points

It was designed using STM32 (nucleo) microcontroller and interfaced with IR sensors and UHF-RFID reader.
The system was programmed using Mbed software and GUI was developed using java
