Vanteon Wins Contract for Fault Tolerant Large Motor Performance Monitor

May 21, 2013

Rochester, New York (May 21, 2013) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, recently was awarded a contract for developing a fault tolerant rotor parameter monitoring system to help maximize up-time for large motors and generators.

Vanteon’s solution will employ redundant RF links to transmit sensor data from the rotor to a nearby monitoring device. The fault tolerant strategy will use the bidirectional capabilities of two independent redundant radios operating at different frequencies to maximize the likelihood that if one link becomes disabled, that the other continues to operate seamlessly while the first is reset. In addition to the redundant link technique, the system will employ a layered watchdog approach that allows the transmit side to recover from a fault that might otherwise “lock” the system. This approach will improve the mean time between failures in the high transient noise environment of large motors and generators, significantly improving the up-time of these critical power generation and delivery systems, often placed in remote locations, potentially days away from field service access.

Vanteon has over 25 years of experience in collaborating with clients to develop products and solutions in electronic hardware, embedded firmware, and software.

Jeff Miller, Business Development Manager at Vanteon, states, “This intelligent system uses elements of wireless RF design and signal processing in a new and unique way to address a critical need. We are happy to be able to apply the creativity of our engineers to help our clients meet the demanding needs of their end customers.”

Vanteon Awarded Contract for Beverage Flow Rate Monitoring Firmware

August 16, 2012

Rochester, New York (August 16, 2012) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, has expanded it’s client base with the award of a contract for developing the embedded microcontroller firmware used to monitor beverage flow rates and temperatures.

As a collaborative development with this new client, Vanteon will write the firmware that tracks beverage volumes in a retail sales environment such as a bar or soda fountain. Data is collected from a distributed array of flow sensors that are directly connected in-line with beverage dispensers and temperature sensors that are placed inside a cooler. A Microchip microcontroller is used for sampling the pulses generated from the flow sensors and for pushing the number of pulses to a customer-side server using SOAP-XML packet format. At regular intervals, data pushes will occur to update the counts of all the sensors regardless of flow activity. This real-time system allows for highly accurate monitoring of actual pour volumes, enabling proprietors to track waste or institute training programs for employees when expected volumes are not consistent with paid sales.

Vanteon’s experience in embedded firmware development is a perfect match for the client, who is developing the hardware as a means of extending the market for its flow rate sensors.

Chris Courtney, Program Manager at Vanteon, states, "Collaboration with our clients on projects like this is a way of life for us at Vanteon. In this case, our microcontroller firmware development coupled with our client’s industry leading experience with flow sensors will result in the introduction of a unique value added product to their portfolio.”

Vanteon Chosen For Picocell RF Design Projects

Feburary 28, 2011

Technology Expands Wireless Network Capacity and Coverage, Even Indoors

Rochester, New York (February 28, 2011) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, is working on several projects that help increase wireless capacity and coverage across multiple frequencies that ultimately can benefit first-responders and the general public that need dependable cellular, mobile-data, or public safety communications in areas that otherwise have limited wireless communications coverage.

The growing need for continuous wireless network access for smartphones, mobile computers, and an array of public safety communications equipment, despite barriers that otherwise block radio waves, requires complex electronic systems that can manage multiple frequencies in a concentrated area. Wireless communications services like 4G, Wi-Fi, and Land Mobile Radio Systems (LMRS) used by public safety workers all operate on different frequencies with varying levels of capacity. Use of distributed "Picocells" is a new approach for expanding wireless coverage and capacity, even inside buildings.

"We are working on multiple projects to deliver discrete RF designs for receiving and managing multiple frequencies in distributed picocells," states Joe Burke, Vanteon’s CEO. "The expertise required for these products includes: systems level RF design, high-speed digital design, and verification and validation. Our project management capabilities and advanced electronics lab enable us to deliver turnkey solutions for meeting complex device requirements,” Burke continued.

Development of these sophisticated products began through client-based collaborative roadmap discussions, high-level simulations, and reliability assessments. Vanteon’s product realization engineers then execute PCB layout, prototyping, quality assurance, documentation, and facilitation of FCC/UL/CE testing services through project completion.

WinCE 6.0 Upgrade for Ruggedized Computing Devices

October 25, 2010

Rochester, NY (October 25, 2010) Vanteon offers new services that help shorten the development cycle and improve field performance for industrial equipment manufacturers seeking to enhance their ruggedized computing devices by upgrading to Windows CE 6.0.

Windows CE is a component-based embedded operating system that has become widely used in industrial equipment as well as in a host of mobile computing and communications devices, including SmartPhones. Devices that use Windows CE often have less on-board data storage capacity than devices like laptop computers. This lowers the unit manufacturing costs for CE devices but imposes constraints on how programs are executed and how much resulting data is stored.

Windows CE 6.0 provides enhanced process address space as well as an increased limit on the amount of physically managed memory that can be utilized. Devices that are upgraded from earlier versions of WinCE can use these resources to gain significant performance advantages.

Future enhancements to WinCE are anticipated and Vanteon has an experienced design, engineering, and testing team at the ready. For more information on WinCE Upgrade services from Vanteon, contact Earl Buice ebuice@vanteon.com.
