Embedded System Development

Custom User Experiences and Complete Device Design

Nova Matrix specializes in the design and manufacturing of user interface systems suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Our user interface software is designed in conjunction with our standardized hardware platforms, allowing your systems to reach the marketplace faster. We have extensive experience developing engaging user experiences involving LCDs with capacitive or resistive touch screens. In addition, we have the capability to design and develop the entire suite of control software in a complete system, which includes system kernel, RTOS, hardware drivers, middleware, protocol stacks, and application program interface (APIs).

User Experience Design

Designing a winning user experience begins with our experts immersing themselves in your system’s capabilities and, even more importantly, how users will interact with it. Our team of engineers, developers, industrial product designers, graphic artists, and test engineers work with you to bring your UI design to life. User experience is more than the software though; the electronics that the software runs on and even the way it looks and sounds make a big impact on the overall experience. We will recommend the processor, hardware platform, components, and software development methods to optimize your product’s performance.

We can take a project from the initial phases of design through software application development and into volume manufacturing, or participate in any step of the entire process. We can share the responsibility with your internal team to maximize efficiency or handle all the design and manufacturing aspects.

Development Process

Our experience has created a best practice development process that allows us to rapidly build a high-quality user experience for our customers. Every project is organized into strategic milestones, ensuring the efficiency of the process and enabling us to exceed your expectations. Using agile methodology during the development phase, Nova Matrix performs constant testing and evaluation procedures, allowing us to identify improvements in the user experience as we progress.

Seamless Transition into Manufacturing

Designing a custom user interface from scratch can be time consuming, so to shorten the timeframe while offering the advantages of a custom designed UI, we have developed a number of hardware platforms. These platforms not only begin your project development efficiently, but they promote quick transition from initial design into a production-ready system.  With our design-for-manufacturing discipline, when hardware and software development are complete, your system is ready to move into manufacturing on-time and on-budget.

Software Continuity

Because our hardware platforms remain relatively consistent from one project to the next, we have been able to develop an extensive software code base for sophisticated user interfaces. The flexibility of this code base is dynamic:  it can be quickly and easily customized to meet the differentiated requirements of every new user experience. Since the end product’s key differentiator—its software—is not coded from scratch, we save our customers considerable time and money by reducing our development and testing time. Even when new code is created to meet your unique needs, we use our experience to combine it with our stable, well-designed code to deliver a solid product.
