July 15, 2019: MPSI has become a proud member of the European Photonics Industry Consortium (https://www.epic-assoc.com)! With the roots of Whiznium lying in photonics research projects, our domain-specific Embedded Hardware & Software expertise along with the advantages of Whiznium can be particularly useful to the European photonics industry.
WhizniumSBE
The „Service Builder’s Edition“ generates and maintains a fully-featured source code tree for your embedded / IIoT project based on a fine-grained model description. Included are database, embedded Linux service and WebUI/API access.
WhizniumDBE
The „Device Builder’s Edition“ extends the advantages of WhizniumSBE to the world of FPGA's by providing RTL code down to state machine level. A project-specific interface-agnostic library for host system access is generated along.
Whiznium In A Nutshell
Key Advantages
● Slash embedded software development time by up to 70% *)
● All time-consuming development tasks which may not be the core features of your high-tech product – Whiznium handles them for you.
● Whiznium knows Embedded: it injects expert knowledge on FPGA’s, databases, secure communications and more into your project.
● And what’s best: all code is in plain sight for your developer team – no closed source libraries are required.
● Your gain is sustained: Whiznium ensures well-structured and clean source code trees for feature-rich applications.

November 23, 2018: We will showcase first results of our collaboration with Matrikon on OPC UA connectivity at the OPC Foundation booth 5-347 of sps 2018 in Nuremberg, November 27-29. Come by and control our OPC UA enabled vision demonstrator via tablet or via native Windows app.
At the request of a customer, we put both Whiznium tools to work and got a cool IIoT project off the ground in record time, from FPGA-based data acquisition to cloud back-end! The FabSight project illustrates nicely why turning to Whiznium for a complex embedded software project instantly pays off…
