Embed Success in Your Business with Custom Software Engineering

From Earth to space, embedded systems power the world around us. We depend on their precision, reliability, and performance. But until we get to use these systems, a lot of processes unwind behind the scenes. Design, development, testing, and maintenance – they’re all part of custom software engineering. From automotive control modules, IoT networks to medical devices, it is custom software development that boosts performance for specific hardware.

However, besides the technical advantages, custom software paves the way to achieving business goals. In contrast with generic software, the custom-made one addresses particular objectives, needs, and possibly, challenges. What is more, it also incorporates stronger security features into the system to prevent it from being taken over.

Industry needs and standards are evolving, real-time data and AI are critical, and new products must differ from the competition. Consequently, clients will need high quality custom software development services. The custom software market was valued at $35.42 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% from 2024 to 2030. Hence, it’s clear that custom software will be crucial to improve products and stay competitive on the market.

What are the Advantages of Custom Software Engineering Services?

Major industries like automotive, healthcare or aerospace and industrial automation need experienced professionals for embedded software development. Such systems use complex mechanical and electrical structures, which often function in real-time conditions.

Through custom software engineering, experts enhance embedded systems effectiveness, quicken operations, and make them consume less power. The result? Reliable and flexible solutions that are fit for mission-critical use. Software-defined hardware is even more flexible with the integration of AI. According to a recent analysis by McKinsey, AI contributes to optimizing hardware performance and lifetime, UX personalization, and even better HMIs (human-machine interfaces).

This brings in embedded systems security as well. Any backdoor, no matter how small, can compromise a whole system if exploited. Secure boot, encryption and runtime protection are some fundamental security measures. These, when combined with advanced security layers, can keep malfunctioning, unauthorized access, data interference – anything that can harm systems. For example, a web vulnerability made it possible to track the location of millions of cars, unlock them, and even start the engine remotely. It’s alarming to think that a car’s embedded systems could be so easily hijacked from an external source.

When we turn our attention to scalability and flexibility though, these are just as important in the long run. In order to prevent obsolescence, you need systems that are able to grow and evolve by easily incorporating new features. Thus, no matter the industry, we can enhance device capabilities, comply with industry standards, and stay relevant, or, even better, a top choice on the market.

Custom software engineering also grants full control over firmware updates and system modifications. This means that they won’t depend on third-party vendors. Thus, we ensure continuous innovation and easier lifecycle management, which, indeed, result in sustainable solutions.

AROBS Custom Software Engineering Projects: Innovation in Action

Whether we talk about an upgrade to existing systems or develop a new solution, a collaboration on custom software engineering will make a difference. At AROBS, we work with industry leaders to develop technologies in various sectors. Our broad experience allows us to transfer our know-how to new impactful projects. Let’s have a look at some of our successful collaborations.

Life-Critical Infusion Pumps

Precision is the heart of medical devices. With this in mind, we redesigned the software for life-critical infusion pumps. We made scalability possible while improving real-time monitoring and overall performance. The result had a great impact on patient safety and medical outcomes.

ESA’s Space Rider Program

AROBS Engineering was selected as the prime industrial partner and consortium leader for the independent software verification and validation of ESA’s Space Rider project. Space Rider aims to provide an affordable, independent, reusable end-to-end integrated space transportation system. Our specialists ensure the specification, design, coding, and testing quality of Central Software modules for both the AVUM Orbital Module and the Re-entry Module.

High-Performance Robot Vacuum Cleaner

We had a great collaboration with a leading smart appliance manufacturer. Our custom software engineering team developed an advanced robot vacuum cleaner equipped with LiDAR, infrared, and stereo-camera technologies. The vacuum has a real-time 2D and 3D mapping function for precise navigation, efficient cleaning, and superior user experience.

SmartCoDrive Project

Our SmartCoDrive automotive project enhanced road safety, traffic mobility, and fuel efficiency through an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). We created a universal, portable ADAS solution that integrates with modern vehicles. Based on smartphone technology, the solution makes driving experience safer and smoother.

Smart Public Lighting Control System

Initially, we developed this project for home automation, but it surprisingly evolved into a city-scale solution. A municipal government in Finland adopted our solution and used it for smart public lighting control to optimize energy consumption, reduce costs, and enhance urban safety. This project proves scalable solutions are more sustainable as they can be repurposed based on fewer resources than if creating a completely new solution.

Custom Software Engineering Begins with Vision Mapping

As we already mentioned before, custom software engineering is about more than just code. It is about bringing business value in the long run. This is the reason why, in every project, we start with vision mapping. We define objectives together with our clients, envision the ideal outcome and make a roadmap to help us from concept to deployment.

From the first development steps to long-term optimization, we work closely with clients to ensure seamless software integration, future-proof scalability, and continuous performance enhancements.
