We Live to Engineer.
Trying to develop the next big thing?
Have a great idea for an IoT device?
We can help make it happen.
Our inspired engineers design the embedded electronics, hardware, firmware, and software that bring your vision to life. Whether it’s a small part of a project or an entire turnkey solution, we bring fresh eyes, new approaches and a love of what we do to the table.
Our experience in electronics design, low power devices, and radio technologies may be just what’s needed to turn your great idea into a reality.
Our Services
We have the expertise to design any or all of the electronics and firmware/software in your product.
Our involvement can range from one tricky technical area to complete turnkey design. We also have diverse experience with developing Android and Windows applications, and of course embedded firmware.
Product development (partial or full turn-key)
General engineering services
Proof of concept development and testing (to reduce risk)
Product life-cycle management
Design for manufacturing
Our Advantages
We start with the 50,000 ft. point of view –
The ability to see the forest through the trees.
We’re not locked into a single solution or approach
Instead, we rely on extensive experience and creative thinking to arrive at the best solutions for each customer’s needs. Having seen many different situations, we’ve developed some pretty impressive analytical skills; we know what questions to ask, and where to look for answers.
The Intersection of Flexibility and Creativity
If we specialize in anything, it’s in being flexible. Because every customer’s situation is different, we offer a wide range of skill sets that allow us to dive into your project at any phase and help where you need it the most.
An Engineering Resource that Saves you Time and Money
With Odic, you’ll have a virtual engineering team available year-round. Because we’re not on your staff, this can be more efficient, as we can complement your existing resources without incurring the costs of full-time employees.
Experience the Secure Feeling of Ongoing Support
When you need support for the work we’ve done, we’ll be here, even after the project is over. We believe in long term relationships which is why much of our business is new work for existing customers.
Once your project is complete, we save and document everything. Even if you require a change 5 years later, you won’t have to start at ground zero to evolve any situation.
Technologies
The latest and greatest – we’re already using it.
We love figuring things out, and for us, finding innovative designs and solutions feels more like fun than work. The more challenging, the more we like it. Even when we come up with a smart approach, we’ll look at ways to improve it.
Internet-of-things
We live in a world where data can be captured wherever it’s generated, and leveraged instantly using sensors in machines and wearables. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) depends on these wireless and wired devices that talk to each other for medical devices for patient monitoring, robotic manufacturing, smart cars and many other industries and applications. Odic has significant experience in the technologies that fall under the IoT and wearable umbrellas:
- Extremely low power devices, including hardware and firmware designed to function in very power-limited applications.
- The smallest packaging requirements, using passive and active components that are almost too small to see without a microscope.
- Extensive use of a variety of sensors, including movement, light, sound, video, and location.
- Experience with a of all kinds of output devices, including graphical displays, and haptic feedback.
- Devices that communicate with each other in various ways. This can be over wireless protocols, or over AC (powerline), legacy wired connections, or the Internet.
- Collecting data, pushing it to the cloud, and making decisions based on it.
- Wireless protocols including Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE or BT Smart), or proprietary protocols at various frequencies to solve specific problems.
- Cellular modems (M2M) to get data to the Internet.
- Secure protocols to get information from a sensor to the Internet safely.
Other Technologies
Our experience with embedded electronics reaches well beyond the Internet-of-Things:
- Lightweight “bare-metal” systems without operating systems
- Real-time operating systems (RTOS)
- Linux (embedded as well as PC)
- Wearables (battery powered, graphics, wireless)
- Wireless networking (WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), 433/915MHz & 2.4GHz proprietary radios)
- Extremely low power designs for battery applications
- Video sensors (MIPI and USB)
- Audio capture and recording
- Sensors (temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, light, sound, motion, gas, force)
- Biometric measurement (ECG, EEG, HR, SPO2, skin temperature, activity and orientation)
- Computer and sensor interconnects (USB, SPI, A/D, D/A, I2C, Serial, Ethernet)
- Battery-charging and power management circuits
- User interface hardware (graphic displays, touchscreens)
- Motor and motion control
Our Clients
We have worked with 250+ companies for over 30 years.
Fresh eyes. Fresh energy. This is what we bring to the table. No matter what you’re making, having a fresh perspective — combined with the right expertise and electrical engineering experience—takes your products to another level. We’re not here just to engineer the devices you need, but to add value by complementing your ideas.
