Assisting you in every step of your product development

Embedded Development involves multiple steps. We, at Indiaaditya Networks take pride in the fact that we provide complete solution for development needs of the customer to provide hassle free experience.

Conceptualize and Freezing of Specifications

Active involvement with customer to come up with the final specifications. This also involves bench-marking, future market requirement study and feasibility reports.

Project Roadmap

Guiding and assisting customer to manage the future prospects of the product by imbibing correct design solutions like selection and implementation from the very beginning.

Hardware Development

From component selection, co-ordination with mechanical design teams, Schematics Development, in-house PCB design, assembly, prototype manufacturing, board bring up and integration.

Power Supply Design

Design of power supplies. Complex linear power supplies, Switched mode Power supplies (along with magnetic selection), and Shunt regulators.

Firmware Development

Embedded C and C++ development is carried out with implementation of non blocking clean code which allows easy scalability and tight integrations. We give extreme importance to clean code implementation.

Testing and Qualification

Testing support for EMI/EMC, CE/UL Certifications, Flameproof and intrinsic safety standards. This includes making required modifications to the designs and communication with the testing authorities.

Industry Sectors and associated Products developed

Electrical Energy measurement, control and testing

High Voltage Tester: For measurement of breakdown voltage at a specified current limit. Completely programmable. Response time less than 10mSec.

Multi-Function Meter: Measurement of 56 different electrical parameters including Total Harmonic Distortion. Continuous measurement at 16 KHz and continuous calculations using the DSP of the STM32 micro-controller.

Petrochemical, Refineries, and flow measurement sector

Fuel Dispensing and Unloading Units: Fuel dispensing of multiple channels (main, Ethanol and additives) in proportion and mechanism selected by the user. Pressure and temperature compensation implemented. Flame-proof implementation with communication for full remote operation. Implemented multi-point calibration.

Flow/level Measurement Solutions: Interface of various flow meters for measurement of flow. Made multiple products for indicators and dispensers. Interfaced quadrature encoders also for flow direction, volume and rate. Also developed Battery powered totalizers with triplexed displays with battery life up to 10 years. Developed Hydro-static level measurement instruments for measurement with accuracy of upto 1mm. Unique analog design implemented.

Gas Industry

Coriollis Flow-meter Interface and dispensing control: Interfaced Endress+Hauser Coriolis flowmeter for complex unloading of gas or transfer to other containers.

Verification System for Pressure Release Devices (PRD) and Residual Pressure Valves (RPV): High speed testing of gas valves. System required testing at speeds which was beyond a standard PLC.

Material Handling

Manipulator Controllers: Implemented Pressure balancing using PID control and solenoid valves to replicate the operation of human motions.

Alternative Fuels

Furnace Controller: Developed completely automated Furnace controller for boiler plant for community kitchens where non-salable cotton waste is used as fuel. Using the temperature of water as a controlling parameter, the fuel being fed to the furnace was controlled.

Medical Field

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Mobile phone operated HBOT system where precise pressure control was required. The system also compensated for the leakages in the chamber. Precise pressure control up to second decimal place (in bars) using PID loop and high speed solenoid valves.

Infusion Pump Monitoring System: Multi-layered application. Data collection units developed to collect data from Infusion pumps over IRDA protocol and transfer it over BLE to a DTU (Data transfer unit). This unit collected data from the local devices and interfaced with AWS server to upload the data. Patient mapping was used which allowed the DTU to connect and disconnect from specific pump.

Automation
