Aplik has expertise in embedded systems development for a wide range of scales and applications.

Embedded systems are computer devices integrated into a larger system, becoming an inseparable part of a product.

Embedded systems have diverse functionalities, sizes and capacities: from small systems of low computational power and storage (automotive integrated computers) going through medium capacity systems for specialized functions (navigation system in planes or satellites) up to big high-performance systems (machine vision for industrial or military applications).

Medium and portable systems

Onris – an instrument made by Aplik for the measurement of teeth color – consists in a portable system for the medical industry, with the following characteristics:

• Calibrated, RGB+UV image acquisition,
• Image processing and storage,
• Integrated screen with graphical touch oriented user interface,
• Battery powered.

Industrial image processing system

Nave is an Aplik image sensor designed specifically for Electrowinning plants for the tracking of copper cathodes.  It has the following characteristics:

• Image acquisition with integrated camera,
• Small size,
• Industrial design (IP-65 protection),
• Integrated image processing (multiple datamatrix detection and decoding),
• Communication of processing results via ethernet network.

Small highly integrated online data capture systems

Aplik’s “Nodo”  is a data capture device desiged for structural condition monitoring of  industrial machines (i.e. rock-crushers) with the following characteristics:

• Real-time acquisition of 13 data channels with rates up to 1500 samples per second,
• Data transmission via RS-485 protocol,
• Integrated in 30x50mm size,
• Data channels for measurement of strain-gage, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, temperature.

Big data-processing systems

“Controlador Aplik” is a copper cathode classification system, developed around an industrial high-performance computing platform for image processing applications, with the following characteristics:

• Designed for installation in industrial cabinets,
• High performance computing (4 cores, 3GHz, with OpenCL support),
• Up to 6 gigabit ethernet interfaces – 6Gbps,
• Multiple camera image capture via GiGE Vision protocol,
• Ethernet connectivity with industrial plant control equipment (DCS, PLC),
• No moving parts (passive cooling),
• Integrated, read-only-memory operating system, inmune to data storage corruption,
• Remote access maintenance, data access and software updates.
