Fast time to market

The most essential part of innovation is a well-controlled timeline for the development and delivery of components. One that fits your go-to-market plan. This is where Prodrive  Technologies comes in with design, development, and high-tech manufacturing: all in-house at the Prodrive Campus. Integrating detailed knowledge of our manufacturing capabilities in the design stage enables us to go above and beyond the expectations of a product right from the start. By designing for manufacturing we can effectively achieve efficiencies that ensure fast time to market. All within the parameters of quality, reliability, and safety.

 

Connectivity backed by robust technology

In order to capture the full potential of IoT, our controllers and I/O modules are designed to integrate with industry-standard technologies. From FreeRTOS, a real-time operating system for embedded devices, to Linux Yocto, a software framework for higher-end ARM PUs, our solutions also support NFC readers, a WIFI gate, and Automotive Ethernet for EV’s and autonomous driving technologies. By using the CAN or Automotive Ethernet interface for communication among the devices in your systems, we can tailor our solution to the right fit.

For harsh environments, such as dust or high-pressure water jets, as used for sanitary cleaning, the components are up to ip69K rated.

Controllers

For highly accurate controllers we integrate our ARM-based System on Module (SoM) technology with a wide range of standard available interfaces and tailored enclosures. Prodrive Technologies is one of the few manufacturers who is capable of designing a safety-compliant controller, according to IEC 61508. Using our software framework, you can rely on reliable interface drivers and security features. Whether it’s an industrial, agricultural, automotive, medical, marine, or any other application, our aim is not only to optimally match the controllers to your application but also to exceed your expectations as part of our pedigree around engineering excellence.
