Engineering

Systems we have built and shipped

Firmware, communications hardware, and Windows companion software designed in-house alongside the SMT line. Each case study below is real shipping work: the platform we built, the technology we own, and how it pairs with the products in our portfolio. Talk to us about porting any of these to a current standard or platform.

Firmware

MCU firmware we write and own on the products we build: standards-compliant communication stacks, calibration engines, and tariff calendars.

PC software

Windows desktop companions paired with the meters and instruments we manufacture: head-end, instrument readout, and report tools.

Smart-grid head-end software (SuperNet)

Windows desktop head-end that organises the electronic-meter fleet into a county / area / customer hierarchy, runs commands per meter or per group, and schedules recurring tasks via DLC modem or optical head.

  • Microsoft Windows desktop
  • DLC modem (COM port, 300-9600 bit/s, n,8,1) or optical head (same protocol stack)
  • County / Area / Customer (meter serial) hierarchy
