Electronics/FPGA Embedded Software Camera/Video Machine Vision Platforms
Software
Within software we develop drivers, network programming, user interfaces (GUI) and technical solutions as industrial vision and communication applications. Real-time demands are common in our projects.
At BitSim NOW we develop software for demanding applications such as image processing, video distribution, signal processing, motor control, communication, measurement and calibration.
The applications we work with often demand high reliability and response time, something we can meet thanks to our working methods, technical expertise and modern equipment.
Throughout our 30 years in business we have been part of many different projects and have built a broad and solid experience. We are constantly updating our knowledge of new technologies and we always work with improvement of our methods.
We offer personnel with expertise in C, C++, C#, VHDL, embedded systems, Embedded Linux and for streaming video, V4L and Gstreamer, GUI-development, LabView and Matlab, to mention a few.
