  2. Case Studies Mass Flow Meters Within the oil and gas Industry, the accuracy and intelligence of each flow meter plays a major role. To compete with other key players in the market, the client needed an accurate and cost effective solution for its mass flow meter products line. The existing flow meter is developed with a custom firmware for which a royalty fee is being charged by the vendor. The other challenge for the client is to meet all intrinsic safety requirements of oil and gas industries they serve, which the existing products lack. • Multi-processor system having MCF5252 and ADSP2141L • Developed highly sophisticated application for critical signal analysis • Royalty free Real-time Linux ported on high frequency 32 – bit microcontroller • User friendly GUI based on QT (Graphical User Interface) for data logging and capturing • Application developed for high speed 16bit digital signal processor for real time signal analysis implemented Coriolis principal. • Iterative field analysis on rugged environment where the product would be used for the next 15 years • The mechanical enclosure designed meets all safety requirements to protect the electronics of the system. • An epoxy protective coating (material which is highly conductive to heat and insulator for electricity) is done for electronics inside the enclosure

  3. Case Studies Control Boards for Plasma Processing System The challenge was to take-up a new patented invention developed at University lab, and convert to an industrial grade product. • Multi-processor architecture, ARM Cortex M3 based microcontroller for the main control logics and a dedicated TMS320F280x series DSP for handling high precision signal generation algorithm. • RTOS based firmware, FreeRTOS running on ARM Cortex M3, and DSPBIOS ported in TMS320F280x. • 40x4 Alphanumeric LCD • 6 Relay outputs and 6 Digital inputs • Rotary switch with Enter, Back keys for user interaction.

  4. Case Studies Scanner System - Image Processing Due to patent expiry of an existing laser based scanning system, the client wanted to Design and develop an advanced system base on photogrammetry which accepts a 2D image with predefined targets and will give an output which is real world 3D coordinates (X, Y, and Z) of the target center points. • Intel based PC104 mother board • Pattern recognition algorithm. • Photogrammetric analysis to get the 3D coordinates from 2D image • Developed a camera calibration algorithm using the Direct Linear Transformation • Robust software developed for critical image capturing and Processing of the image and find 6DOF of targets within 250 ms. • Ethernet, USB 2. 0 and RS232 as the communication interfaces • Wi-Fi communication with server to transfer the identified target pattern. • Provided the Mechanical enclosure with a Rotating plate so the camera can capture images at different angles.

  5. Case Studies ZE09 Time and Attendance Terminal The client wanted to develop low cost alternative to expensive time and attendance terminals using RFID Technology. They also required to implement the 3G-UMTS technologies and Ethernet communication for data transfer with the server and the online firmware upgrade of the system. • Hardware designed and developed using ARM 9 Core Processor. • Wireless Technologies used - Low frequency RFID, 3G-UMTS, WiFi, GPS • Implementation of the 3G-UMTStechnologies and Ethernet communication for data transfer with the server • Equipped with various communication options like USB/Ethernet/GPRS-EDGE • Large Graphical LCD Display • Linux operating system is ported in the system. • Fingerprint sensor and RFID for the identity verification. • VGA Camera with LED Flash for the Picture Input • In terminal Data Base management. • BOM involved low cost component having a road map of next 10years.

  6. Case Studies Wireless based Biomedical & Food Monitoring application Wireless system used in Biomedical monitoring and Food monitoring application. It efficiently monitors and records a range of critical point data, including temperature, humidity, door status, goods receipt conditions and air quality, and provides effective reporting and visualization for ongoing management. • Hardware designed with i.Mx 25 processor from Free scale • Ported with Linux Operating system • Wireless communication at 868,900,902-928 MHz, Spread • Spectrum • Power over Ethernet interface • Data logging with SD card • Battery back up in case of the power failure • EMI/ EMC compliant design • Designed Front end application with • User-defined reports • Access levels and permissions • Flexible reporting intervals • Data export options • Language options • Different critical parameter sensors (with product simulant options) • Customisable alarm notifications (email, SMS, LED message boards, PC pop-up windows, flashing lights)

  7. Case Studies Smart metering System – Zigbee case study The Zigbee-based system created a self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh networks across neighborhoods and apartment complexes that link meters with utilities’ corporate offices. They can remotely monitor a residence’s electric, gas and water usage more efficiently with fewer errors and at lower costs, while improving customer service. • Hardware designed with MSP430F2274 from Texas Instruments • Meter Reading: Automatic Meter Reading and appointed meter reading  • Real time Clock (RTC) Working Minimum 2 years after power offMeter carrier capacity • Daily Frozen data storage • Save the succeed/failed meter reading time • Save data when power off • Digital Outputs • Password protection • PC based Front application for Collection Of Readings and Controls

  8. Case Studies Building Automation - Management System Energy monitoring and Management System.
