Hardware Design and Firmware Development

Devices with embedded processors and software developed via Assembler or C are very popular nowadays. New devices using a combination of some processor and software without any operating system are also being presented to the market every day. Among them are measurement devices, home appliances, medical systems, devices for automotive and manufacturing industries, toys, controlling and management systems, and devices used in many other areas. Infostroy has developed devices for medicine, agriculture, home and manufacturing.

We provide full lifecycle development: proof of concept, evaluation prototypes, production prototype samples, software development specifically for embedded systems, and software development for interaction with these devices, if necessary. We can provide fully functioning prototypes with all the necessary documentation for large scale plant production. If necessary, we can provide an onsite presence at manufacturing plants for consultation during the manufacturing process.

The whole range of services Infostroy provides together with their partner – the OWEN Company (http://www.owen.ru/en)- Russian major developer and manufacturer of automation equipment for a variety of industries.
