Embedded software development
Embedded software is software written for custom hardware solutions, mostly containing printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). Usually, these systems have specific requirements which limit the availability of resources like electrical power, computational power, and/or computation time. There are many use cases where using regular computers is simply not possible. For example, think of an application where a sensor must take measurements for 10 years, without being connected to mains.

By using embedded software, you get to develop both the hardware and software for the final product. This tight integration results in complete freedom in what that product will look like. The resource constraints that often result from the requirements of projects involving embedded systems, mean that designing the software for these systems is a complex process.
At Zign Innovations we understand this process and have developed ways to ensure this process runs smoothly and ends with a successful product. First, the success of the product is a result of both hardware and software. Our hardware and software engineers work together closely to ensure that we choose the optimal solution for each requirement within a project. We develop in our own comprehensive build environment, which ensures high quality software through logging, testing and continuous integration with the hardware. Through our build environment we can access our library of readily available components and we apply a practice of ‘hardware in the loop’ testing early on. With this we can speed up our software developing process which significantly reduces project lead time. And continuous integration and ‘hardware-in-the-loop’ testing ensures that our software is adequately tested before it is released and runs smooth on the designated hardware.
We have significant experience in the embedded software domain, and we have created numerous projects where we solved critical and complex functions with complex data models. Are you looking to develop an embedded system, and do you need software competence? Come talk to us!
