Rapid Prototypying Platform - Flexible Prototyping for Systems

Rapid Prototyping Platform

A flexible embedded platform that enables organizations to rapidly deploy, validate, and monitor applications in real time using simulation models and scalable I/O architectures.

Execute MATLAB/Simulink, SCADE, and ControlBuild models with minimal integration effort

Simplify deployment through automatic mapping between model variables and electrical signals

Scale from simple embedded applications to complex real-time systems with hundreds of I/O channels

Configure, monitor, and update systems through a cybersecure embedded web interface

Product Description

The Rapid Prototyping Platform enables organizations to quickly validate concepts, algorithms, and embedded applications using hardware designed for real-time operation. By combining simulation model integration, scalable I/O capabilities, and advanced visualization tools, the platform helps engineers accelerate development while reducing integration risk.

Supporting MATLAB/Simulink, SCADE, and ControlBuild models, the solution provides a seamless transition from simulation to deployment. Automatic signal mapping and ICD import capabilities simplify system integration and shorten development cycles.

Built on Averna Powered by Spherea's U-TEST® real-time Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) platform, it supports demanding embedded applications requiring deterministic performance, advanced monitoring, and secure remote access. The solution can be tailored from compact prototyping environments to large-scale operational systems supporting hundreds of signals.
