Electronics and Cyber-Physical systems

Electronics is the discipline concerned with the design and operation of circuits and components that process, control, or transmit electricity. It underpins many everyday devices such as phones, computers, and sensors. Depending on the application, it can handle analog, digital, or power signals.

Cyber-physical systems, on the other hand, combine physical elements like sensors and actuators with digital systems—such as software or algorithms—to enable machines to interact intelligently with their environment. These systems process data in real time and respond automatically, like an autonomous vehicle adjusting its driving based on traffic conditions.

Electronics thus provides the hardware foundation upon which cyber-physical systems rely to create autonomous and intelligent devices capable of acting in the real world.

Iot and Edge computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical objects connected to the Internet, capable of collecting, transmitting, and sometimes receiving data. These objects—such as sensors, smartwatches, or intelligent home appliances—help automate tasks, monitor environments, and enhance decision-making through the data they gather.

Edge Computing, meanwhile, involves processing data close to its source—on the devices themselves or on local servers—rather than sending it to distant data centers. This reduces latency, lowers network load, and enables faster responses, which is essential in contexts like autonomous vehicles or security systems.

Together, IoT and Edge Computing form a powerful duo that makes systems more responsive, efficient, and intelligent.

We support you in selecting and implementing the most suitable hardware architectures, whether ARM processors, NPUs, RISC-V solutions, FPGAs, or multi-core SoCs.

We have expertise in modern embedded software environments: development with Yocto or Zephyr, programming in Rust, real-time OS integration, and low-level optimization are all part of our skill set.

On the communications side, we integrate the latest IoT technologies, covering protocols like Thread, Matter, and 5G, platforms such as Thingsboard, and distributed registries, to build robust and scalable connected systems.

Lastly, we place software quality at the core of our practices. Automated testing, traceability (ETM), and build tools like CMake are all implemented to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

 

Some example applications:

  • Industry: Real-time monitoring of machine conditions using sensors, with immediate response in case of anomalies

  • Transportation: For autonomous vehicles, local environment analysis and instant decision-making without relying on an Internet connection

  • Healthcare: Continuous patient monitoring with alerts triggered as soon as critical signs are detected

  • Smart homes: Securing connected devices through local data processing

  • Smart cities: Real-time adaptation of traffic lights, public lighting, or surveillance systems to improve flow and safety
