We attach special importance to a holistic approach to your task. The concept and the path towards a solution ensure that the desired results are achieved. Bottlenecks are avoided and the system is balanced to deliver both performance and efficiency. We simply make it work.

How you can collaborate with hema


We are happy to take on all aspects of product development, from the concept phase right through to production. The decisive factor is what contribution you would like us to make:

  • Design & architecture consultation
  • Product development & system design
  • Reengineering & retrofitting

You decide for each project how to make best use of your available time and funds. We complement your project accordingly with our competences and the services of our trustworthy long-standing partners, along with our own effective project management of course. A scrum, agile or individual approach according to your needs - we'll adapt to it.

Your success is our top priority. That's what we're there for.

Visual intelligence - the development of embedded vision systems


Making systems and devices intelligent so that they are better at performing your tasks is what drives us. Whether it's quality assurance in industry or security on train platforms or at national borders, these are all tasks that involve an increasing demand for performance in detection. Images must be acquired, processed and transferred. An operator, or these days also a system possessing artificial intelligence, is supplied with data in line with your requirements. The desired actions and applications for further video processing are then based on this.

  • Video encoding & streaming: h.264, h.265
  • Video technology: analog & digital
  • Low latency video transmission
  • Video multiplexing: 2K, 4K, 8K
  • Graphic overlay in real time
  • DVR digital video recording
  • EVB intelligent video management unit
  • Embedded image acquisition & processing
  • Interfaces: GigE Vision, SDI, HDMI, DP, MIPI, CameraLink, PCI Express, TSN, USB
  • CMOS sensor technologie with HDR up to 170 dB dynamic range
  • Sensor fusion: infrared, stereo, daylight, night vision
  • Robust system design for mobile applications
  • Long-term availability of the systems & obsolescence management


Technologies 
 

As the demands placed on the systems increase, so do their performance requirements and complexity. Using state-of-the-art technologies and development tools, our clients and us drive the capabilities of the systems to even greater heights. In order for this to work, we are involved on a daily basis with developments in the technology market, and skillfully implement them.

However, as much as we love progress, it should not be forgotten that an effective combination of existing and new technologies, together with the creative ideas of development engineers often delivers the more economically appropriate solution.

With leading technologies plus common sense, we achieve our goals TOGETHER.

Analog & digital circuit technology:

  • FPGA, ARM, DSP & microcontrollers
  • Interfaces for data, video & communication
  • Sensors for image & data acquisition
  • Power supply

 

Platform and system design
 

Designing electronic systems for our clients is our passion. We approach the job with both enthusiasm and discipline. Hand in hand, designs and prototypes emerge step by step from ideas. Once tested and optimized, these are soon followed by the first series devices. To experience how our clients proudly present their solutions and to see the smiles on their faces is the moment that makes it all worthwhile for us.

The results are:

  • FPGA-based embedded vision platforms
  • Video processing units
  • Video cameras
  • Individual modules
  • Devices & systems

Embedded software development
 

The development of embedded software is one of our core activities. We take on a variety of programming tasks depending on your requirements. We feel at home with all aspects of FPGAs, microcontrollers and ARM processors.

  • Requirements management and specification
  • Algorithmic development including SHA
  • Data streaming wired/wireless, dynamic bandwith adaption
  • Linux board support packages
  • Boot loader & kernel porting
  • Interface driver development
  • Programming languages: C, C++, embedded Linux
  • Video codecs & sub-frame low latency
