Just because your product launched, that doesn’t mean the job is done. Managing a product postlaunch is just as important as the development cycle. Resolving in-service issues, optimizing designs and addressing new challenges like security risks or hardware updates can help keep products functional and relevant. From cost-efficiency in maintenance and upgrades to extending the product lifespan to market responsiveness and risk mitigation, understanding different aspects of sustaining engineering helps decision-makers balance the benefits and operational impacts for ongoing product success. Our approach ensures your innovation continues to operate and scale smoothly throughout its life cycle.

Present-day vehicles manage vast amounts of #data, from traffic updates to vehicle health and weather reports. As cars become more connected and #autonomous, challenges around real-time data processing, seamless communication and system reliability grow. For example, advanced driver-assistance systems rely on data from multiple sources — cameras, radar and lidar — to make split-second decisions. Without well-optimized software, even minor glitches can compromise performance and safety. We collaborate with automakers to design systems that efficiently handle complex data streams, ensuring the safety and performance that modern vehicles demand. #AutonomousVehicles #AutomotiveSoftware #IoT

Real-time Linux officially merged into the mainline kernel! 🤯 After decades of development (and debate), the PREEMPT_RT patch set is now available in Linux 6.12, enabling guaranteed execution and worst-case latency for mission-critical applications. These improvements mark a new era for precision computing with Linux, from audio production to CNC machines and industrial automation. We’re constantly exploring ways innovations like this can improve the products we develop. Check out the full Ars Technica article to learn how this update simplifies real-time systems.

Understanding public sentiment through data helps drive more informed business decisions. Using Amazon SageMaker, we analyzed over 1.7 million tweets from the 2020 U.S. presidential election, revealing trends in public opinion. Interested in how #SageMaker simplified the process — from data prep to model training? Check out how the tool makes large-scale datasets easier to handle without complex coding and how sentiment analysis can drive strategic decisions in your industry. #AWSPartner

With 88% of U.S. adults subscribed to at least one streaming service, companies must deliver seamless content on a variety of devices — from smartphones to 8K screens — to capture the audience’s attention. Successful streaming apps balance tailored user experiences with well-built video streaming architecture to optimize performance and minimize operational costs. Specializing in #audio and #video #streaming architecture, our team wields decades of experience in the #cable and video industry to help ensure your solution meets consumer expectations for performance and reliability — regardless of network conditions.

From #QuantumComputing to #NeuromorphicChips to #FederatedLearning, few-shot learning and explainable AI, myriad innovations push #AI beyond its current limits. Quantum computing solves complex optimization problems faster than traditional methods, and neuromorphic chips mimic the brain's efficiency in pattern recognition. Few-shot learning allows AI to learn from small datasets, while explainable AI brings more transparency to decision-making. These next-generation developments can overcome current AI limitations and unlock new opportunities in industries like #HealthCare or energy. But engineers need to understand their capabilities and harness them strategically to solve real-world problems efficiently and responsibly.

Bringing an electronic product to market requires careful planning and precise execution. From optimizing component selection and board layout to integrating #EmbeddedSoftware, every decision impacts the performance and reliability of the final product. Understanding supply chain limitations, power management and regulatory compliance helps reduce risk during development. With years of experience in electronic product development, our experts can help you navigate these complexities to ensure your next product goes to market successfully.

#CloudModernization is no longer optional—it's a necessity for organizations looking to stay ahead. By leveraging the cloud, businesses can tap into powerful tools like AI, data analytics, and automation while enhancing scalability, flexibility, and security. 🚀

Applying techniques like noise reduction, signal restoration and feature extraction can support better decision-making, data analysis and system performance, even in the noisiest environments. We take the time to get to know your product and fine-tune it to deliver strong, clear signals across domains. #DSP #Telecom #IoT #Wireless
