360-view camera system for trucks
We upgraded a surround-view camera system for large vehicles by developing software and replacing obsolete components.
We utilised a Lattice Crosslink-NX FPGA and NXP S32K228 microcontroller, ensuring compatibility with modern interfaces and meeting the stringent ASPICE CL2 and ASIL-B safety standards for automotive applications.
This upgrade delivered a compliant vision system, empowering the client with full technical assistance from Lattice.
LiDAR-camera fusion assistance systems for crane operators
We developed a prototype LiDAR-camera fusion system to enhance crane operation efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
This AI-powered solution combines LiDAR's precise distance measurement with camera visuals to provide real-time obstacle detection, collision avoidance alerts, and virtual overlays for improved situational awareness.
The system also offers data-driven insights for performance analysis and workflow optimisation, ultimately leading to lower costs and a significant increase in crane safety.
Spherical camera systems
Promwad designed a 360° camera monitoring system integrating four PAL/NTSC cameras. Each stream can be scaled, rotated, mirrored, and overlaid with markings.
Users can enable night mode with automatic illumination and adjust video parameters per stream. All configurations are saved for easy recall.
DSP module for wireless communication systems
We created a versatile FPGA module for digital signal processing (DSP) with an open architecture for wireless communication systems based on the SDR technology. The main board was based on TMS320C6674, a 4-core processor by Texas Instruments (1.25 GHz).
The modular design includes dedicated modules for digital signal processing, signal conversion, and RF communication with a wide frequency range.

SDR modem for satellite communication
A high-performance Software-Defined Radio (SDR) modem for satellite communication. The Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC based modem leverages a powerful DFE from AMD for efficient signal processing.
The modular design features a customisable analog front-end with LNAs, gain blocks, and filters, and supports up to 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with optional 10G SFP+ connectivity. Redundant power supplies ensure reliable operation in critical communication applications.
Multi-electronic driver array and multi-electronic monitor array
We developed the FPGA multichannel driver for an advanced photonic system. The unit is programmed to control the electrical power for driving and acquire and digitise data from a 500-optocoupler array connected to the programmable photonic integrated circuit.
The unit reads the optical power monitors of the programmable photonic integrated circuit, closing the control loop. These monitors provide the information to compare the actual output with the expected one and update the array control signals.

Difraction-based X-ray processing device design
We designed a high-performance X-ray processing device for explosive material detection. This system uses multiple Single Boards with ASICs and FPGAs for data acquisition and processing.
The mother board collects data and interfaces with a host computer. A custom enclosure with forced air cooling ensures optimal thermal performance for reliable operation.
Controller for IR laser
Challenge: Ensure efficient light energy delivery to achieve high productivity and minimise structural damage from heating.
Solution: Our team developed an electronic controller for a nanosecond IR laser used in cutting and drilling metal or ceramic. It features high precision and stability of pulse waveform using loop-back control, with a waveform analyser providing correction data to a waveform generator.
Software: HMI for status indication and manual control, PROFINET interface for industrial network integration. The device controls the power supply, LED pump, acousto-optic Q-switch driver, and fan system, optimising the laser pulse profile and repetition rate.

FAQ
Where does the work begin? Do you sign an NDA first?
First, we sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and clarify the details of the project. Then we draft a business proposal. Once the agreement is signed, our engineers get to work and you can watch your idea come to life!
What is the completion time?
What will I receive upon project completion?
Once the project reaches its conclusion, you will obtain a fully operational device, prototype, or software along with comprehensive technical documentation, source codes, and PCB design files in a CAD format. Detailed instructions on product usage will be provided to you. Additionally, we offer training sessions as needed.
How are intellectual property rights handled?
Throughout our collaboration, we ensure clear agreements are in place to address ownership and protection of intellectual property. Our standard practice includes signing NDAs to safeguard sensitive information and outlining ownership rights in project contracts. In addition, we will only mention your project on our website and other platforms with your permission.
