    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.

    Key Benefits

    • Reduce development time by deploying simulation models directly onto embedded hardware

    • Accelerate integration through automatic signal mapping and ICD import

    • Scale from prototype systems to complex real-time applications

    • Improve operational visibility through customizable dashboards and monitoring tools

    • Securely configure and update systems through a web-based interface

    • Validate concepts faster while reducing development and deployment risks
