Urban commute is a pain: most trips are short and existing options just don't cut it. Cars are expensive / hard to park / stuck in traffic Buses are slow / unreliable / stuck in traffic Motorcycles are heavy / require a special license Bicycles are exhausting / range-limited / slow

In designing and building Fermi, the General Dynamics C4 Systems business unit was faced with a challenge: it needed to provide an environment that could support rigorous testing by multiple Fermi subsystem groups before the spacecraft hardware was available.

Rising development and maintenance costs comprise the key business challenge of testing and verification for NASA IV&V. Because of their complexity and stringent safety requirements, most NASA projects take many years to come to fruition.

In 2018, the company launched its first line of industrial hardware products specifically designed for edge computing, the MELIPC Series. There are two main development goals for MELIPC: One is to deliver hardware that specifically supports the type of edge computing promoted by Mitsubishi Electric. The other is to introduce features such as advanced vision technology for the field of device control, which has been difficult to bring to market up until now.MELIPC is Mitsubishi Electric’s first hardware product created for edge computing. The MELIPC line’s flagship computer, the MI5000, combines real-time equipment control with high-speed data collection, processing, diagnosis, and feedback in a single machine, thus saving factory floor space and reducing the cost of building IIoT systems.To achieve this, the development team needed a real-time control platform that would flexibly integrate real-time control with proven analytic and diagnostic applications.

Automotive supplier Continental wanted to save time, cut costs, and standardize the development process at its globally dispersed development sites. At the same time, it needed to meet the requirements of the functional safety standard ISO 26262.To do this required a global effort to standardize the development process during every phase and at every geographic site, using common processes and tools.

As a starting point toward realizing this vision, Parkeon is developing its next-generation StreetSmart terminal. A major challenge, however, is connecting and integrating the new terminals with the company’s back-office business systems.Parkeon consulted with a few solution providers. Wind River® had already done some development work with the company and was involved with embedded applications in earlier versions of the company’s meters.It became clear in discussions that Wind River had the technology and services for delivering an optimal solution for managing deployed meters and was equipped to co-design and help integrate the connectivity part of the solution.

AgustaWestland wanted to adopt an innovative approach for the development of a new safety-critical avionics display for a military helicopter upgrade program.The military helicopter had previously used avionics display control units within the cockpit and cabin of the aircraft, but the new project aimed to enable the implementation of additional functionality to meet new operational requirements.

Toshiba needed to build the next generation of its TCx™ Sky retail optimized operating system, one that would provide rock-solid stability, security, and performance for today’s widely distributed POS systems and a firm basis for up-and-coming IoT innovations such as biometrics and anonymous facial recognition.Now powering more than a million checkout lines, TCx Sky runs a streamlined embedded Linux kernel well suited to retail applications. Toshiba needed a technology partner to help it stay abreast of the constant evolution and security monitoring that comes with embedded Linux deployments.
