Software & Firmware

Bilingual in hardware and software.

Firmware, device HMI, control systems and connected applications — written by engineers who also design the board it runs on.

At Fertile Mined, our engineers are experts in both hardware and software technology — which enhances our ability to design superior products. We build the embedded firmware, the motor-control loops, the on-device interface and the companion application, and we design every layer from a business perspective so the product is cost-effective to make and a pleasure to use.

From wireless PC communications and custom GUIs to data acquisition and analysis, our software goes where the hardware goes — and makes it smarter.

Great software has that Zen-like ‘being without being’ quality — it works so well you never notice it.

Capabilities

What we bring to the face of the rock.

  • Embedded Firmware

    Bare-metal and RTOS firmware for sensing, actuation and control — tight, testable, documented.

  • Device HMI & GUI

    On-device interfaces and PC companion apps designed with the same care as the industrial design.

  • Control Systems

    Closed-loop motion and process control — the software half of our electromechanical work.

  • Data Acquisition & Analysis

    Capture, stream and interpret sensor data; turn raw signal into decisions.

  • Connectivity

    Wireless communications and protocols that connect the device to the rest of your system.

  • Test Automation

    Software that exercises the hardware — fixtures, scripts and diagnostics for repeatable validation.

Point us at a discipline, or hand us the whole product. We fold in testing, DFM/DFA and documentation at every step.

How We Work

A method, not a mystery.

Model the behavior

Define the states, signals and control the product actually needs — before a line is written.

Build across the stack

Firmware, controls, HMI and companion apps, versioned and documented as one system.

Instrument & automate

Diagnostics and automated tests so quality is measured, not assumed.

Proof

Software Development in the wild.
