ioWorks is a freelance electronics design company that specializes in embedded solutions.
Embedded systems design is complex by nature and often involves various disciplines to make it all work. Usually it involves: sensors, acuators, data communication, data storage and user interfaces. Next to that security is often a hard requirements. As a Solution Architect it is key to have a good understandfing of the latest developments and to address any challanges in an agile and creative way.
ioWorks has experience designing electronic circuits and multilayer PCB's for small projects. For agile prototyping it is often convenient to be able to design the first PCB's in house without having to involve external Electronic Manufactuering Services (EMS)
ioWorks has a lot of experience designing redundant IP networks for Industial environments (OT domains). Beyond standard IP routing ioWorks has extensive experience designing Fibre Optic ring networks for high availablility. This usually involves seperating traffic over different VLAN's, Failover mechanisms (VRRP), Setting up VPN tunnels for remote access, Network monitorring and protection against Cyber Attacks.
ioWorks has designed many low cost LED matrix display controllers using bare-metal MCU's. These controllers can be used to directly control LED Matrix displays using simple to implement ASCII based protocols.
