CEO’s Desk

Dear Customer,

Welcome to another issue of infowaves. The past decade has seen rapid development and adoption of technology that has changed the way we live. One such technology that is getting popular is the Industry 4.0 which is focused on enabling and accelerating the adoption of Internet of Things for automation and data exchange in the manufacturing industry. Another technology which has made a mark in the world of electronics is assistive technology and it is positively impacting the quality of life for the differently abled. It has removed many barriers to education and employment. Some such recent advancements are the electronic braille tablets for note taking and e-reader which displays pages of raised bumps that can be read by touch.

Looking at this trend in IoT and assistive technology, Mistral is also keeping up with the fast paced technology advancements. We offer end-to-end IoT services for a wide range of applications like Smart Cities, Industrial, Fleet Management, Home Automation, Health & Wellness etc. Have a look at a video demonstrating AWS Based Fleet Management Solution featured in this newsletter. Also included in this newsletter is the Infographic designed by Mistral explaining the types of Electronics Assistive Technology products and their architecture.

We have tried to keep this newsletter informative, showcasing a mix of services offered by Mistral and technology trends we see in the market. Read about Mistral’s power management and FPGA design services. Get to know everything about how the Industrial IoT Kit is built around AM437x PoM and can be used to build an IoT Gateway for Industrial Applications in the latest blog post by Sachidananda Karanth, Senior Technical Architect - Software Design from Mistral.

I thank all our partners and customers for your co-operation and look forward to your continued support and confidence in the coming years.

Please feel free to write to us with any feedbacks or suggestions.

Sincerely,

Power management Services

Power Management is a key aspect in the design of embedded systems today as it directly affects the battery life and performance of embedded devices. Effective Power Management of an embedded system means building low power designs with lower power consumption and longer battery life that provides lowering heat dissipation increasing system stability ensuring less energy usage, saving cost and reducing the impact on the environment.

Power management involves designing embedded systems which can efficiently deliver power to all the components in the system. Mistral has the expertise to implement power management techniques for building low power designs for embedded devices. Read More..

FPGA Design Services

With the inclusion of ARM cores into FPGAs, users can now get the benefits of an SoC, along with the flexibility and power of an FPGA making these devices very attractive for several embedded applications reducing overall system size and power consumption while increasing performance. Current generation FPGAs also come in a 3D silicon which use stacked silicon Interconnect, leading to high density and high performance FPGAs. Xilinx Ultrascale and Ultrascale+ belong to this league. FPGAs also offer an advantage of testing and verifying a concept in hardware without passing through the long fabrication process required for an ASIC.

Mistral offers turnkey FPGA design services specializing in handling complex, multi-million gate designs for FPGAs from Xilinx, Actel, Altera, Quicklogic, Lattice and Cypress. Read More..

AM57x Based Designs

The AM57x design services from Mistral include, Product Design, Hardware Design, BSP & Firmware, Application Development, Design for Manufacturability, Production Support Services, Product Lifecycle Support and Testing & Validation.

IoT based Industrial Gateway (IoT-SDK) built around AM437x PoM: Blogpost

Today, Internet of Things is a lot more than just connected devices and seamless communication. The emerging IoT is having a sweeping effect on the way things are produced triggering another industrial revolution – Industrie 4.0.

Industrie 4.0 or the fourth Industrial revolution is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing industries. It is based on cyber-physical systems (CPS), networking machines, intelligent, smart and highly flexible software. In the context of an industrial environment, IoT gains more relevance when there is a requirement of analysing large amount of data collected over a prolonged period of time.

While the typical process controller operates on real-time data that handles short term corrective actions, the IoT and cloud based technologies enables long term observations and improvements. This document illustrates the possible use of the IoT technologies in Industrial environment towards building the cyber-physical systems as in Industrie 4.0. Read More..
