Embedded Research Solutions (ERS)
ERS provides scalable and flexible sensor and actuator network systems. We can help you detect, monitor, and control anything you want, from where you want, and at the time you want, no matter how distributed, remote or complex.
Embedded Research Solutions (ERS) creates products and the enabling technologies for pervasive computing applications. The US National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines pervasive computing as, “the strongly emerging trend toward numerous, casually accessible, often invisible computing devices, frequently mobile or embedded in the environment, and connected to an increasingly ubiquitous network structure.” Simply put - intelligent, connected devices that are everywhere. In the US, academic research in this area is quite strong, supported primarily by the government. This research has not yielded deployable technology - ERS has. The company has made practical the technology through proven scientific and engineering principles. The technology base includes software and hardware that allows multi-hop communication, ad-hoc networking, mesh networking, power management, location awareness, real-time responsiveness and dynamic reconfiguration.
ERS has created the first truly deployable solution for pervasive applications. The software architecture is uniquely scaleable. It has been shrunk to fit on the smallest and least expensive embedded processors yet maintain a rich set of functions. In addition, the software can run as middleware on standard operating systems including Linux and Windows. Other attributes of ERS solutions include low-cost, guaranteed real-time performance, dynamic configurability, modularity, ease of use and low maintenance.
ERS has developed a platform software, known as ZEETM, that consists of a configurable, modular, hardware independent, framework uniquely suited for highly distributed systems and networks required to deliver data in real-time.
