Merger combines embedded companies

Geensys will provide customers with a complete, outsourced embedded product design and realisation service.

Geensys has been created through the merging of TNI Software and Ayrton Technology.

"We are extremely excited by the creation of Geensys and the opportunity it presents", said Serge Laverdure, the newly appointed CEO of Geensys.

"We are bringing together the well-proven and highly respected skills, expertise, products and services of TNI-Software and Ayrton Technology to create a powerful new force in the embedded market".

Geensys will offer a range of embedded development products and services on several levels, focusing on the embedded development requirements of the automotive, aerospace, defence, railway, industrial automation and telecommunications industries.

Geensys will provide customers with a complete, outsourced embedded product design and realisation service covering hardware, software and mechatronic design, product prototyping, product integration, production, test and documentation generation.

Geensys will also provide a customer-centric embedded projects handling and engineering capability along with a process methodology consulting and training capability.

Geensys will offer its embedded development services both through its engineering centres based in Paris, Nancy and Nantes.

Geensys will offer a range of embedded development tools covering model-driven development and requirements-centric system engineering.

These include Reqtify, Reqcenter, RTBuilder, ControlBuild and Autosar Builder.

Reqtify is Geensys' tool for engineering requirements capture and management as well as traceability and impact analysis.

ReqCenter is an open, standards-based peer-to-peer requirements sharing and exchange tool for embedded systems development.

RTBuilder is a virtual analysis platform designed to simulate distributed embedded systems for architecture exploration, performance evaluation, start-up mode analysis and scheduling.

ControlBuild is a front-to-back environment for the design, development, implementation and maintenance of control systems applications both within the industrial automation and rail transportation markets.

Autosar Builder is an Eclipse-based software development platform that provides a seamless design environment for the creation of Autosar-compliant automotive electronics systems and ECUs.

Autosar Builder will be complemented by a variety of new functional test benches for automotive ECUs including KWP2000 diagnostic, configuration and calibration tools, EOL test benches for production and a CAN-bus conformance test environment.

Geensys also plans to tackle the emerging market for pre-packaged software IP in the automotive market.

Plans are already well advanced for the delivery of generic communications clusters and re-usable software components for multi-function dashboard displays designed to run on a variety of industry-standard MCUs.

Additional software IP packages will include a Can Osek compliant layer stack, a FlexRay communications stack and a complete BSW stack for the Autosar layered architecture with intelligent configuration tools.

Geensys is already certified to the Software Engineering Institute's CMMI Level 3 following a quality assessment in June 2006 of its process and project management services.
