The Eurotech Helios™ edge controller provides a flexible and programmable hardware platform with enhanced wireless connectivity that enables simplified data acquisition and integration. The Helios edge controller could collect data from distributed devices, monitors and sensors; aggregate and rationalize disparate data; and transmit the information to a central processing center. With the Helios platform, you can quickly and simply create an edge controller device, loaded with your application software that precisely meets the needs of your target customers.
The Helios platform offers Four Degrees of Flexibility – programmability, hardware, software, and connectivity. The programmable Helios device offers a simple to use set of APIs enabling you to implement the latest technologies with ease. Hardware flexibility lets you choose the initial device options based on the specs you need to meet, including processor speed, memory capacity, temperature range and video display. Software options include Microsoft Embedded Standard, CE 6.0 or Wind River Linux 3.0 operating systems. Connectivity choices mean you can select pre-certified wireless modules for cellular, Bluetooth and others dependent upon technology or carrier preferences.
Start with the Helios platform from Eurotech, and you are well on your way to creating an industrial-grade application device that you can take to market quickly.
