Embedded firmware expertise

Software, cloud and production tools

We develop dependable firmware for prototypes and manufactured products. Every line of code is built around the realities of your hardware, power budget, communications, and user experience.

Applications

Windows, mobile, web and device configuration tools.

Cloud services

APIs, MQTT, dashboards, storage and remote management.

Production tools

Programming, diagnostics, automated validation and test.

Fleet operations

Secure provisioning, monitoring and over-the-air updates.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration

One team across every layer.

Firmware and software engineers work directly with electrical, mechanical, cloud, manufacturing, and project teams. That means fewer handoff gaps, earlier risk discovery, and a product optimized as one system.

Core capabilities

Built for the full product lifecycle.

ArcLight Cinemas LCD video wall, 96 portrait screens

LCD Design and Commercial Integration at Scale: The ArcLight Cinemas StoryWall

Ninety-six portrait LCDs, one 50-foot image, and a wall built so any screen can be serviced with a single push. The finished StoryWall running one image across every screen, with the crew still on ladders for final checks. For years the poster wall in the lobby of ArcLight Cinemas Sherman Oaks was part of the […]
