Long-term technical collaboration

The collaboration since 2019 has covered the development and integration of technical components for 3D scanning systems. Pigeonit contributes embedded electronics and firmware, industrial robotics and peripheral integration, and communication between devices.

Depending on the project phase, the scope ranges from prototyping through systems integration and testing to commissioning. 3D reconstruction algorithms, external trajectory-generation software and the overall mechanical design are outside Pigeonit’s scope.

Technical areas

01

Embedded HW/FW

Design and development of custom control electronics and firmware for coordinating technical peripherals.

The work includes prototyping, bring-up and adapting interfaces to the needs of the integrated system.

02

Robotics and peripherals

Integration of industrial robots, cameras, projectors and other technical peripherals into the wider solution.

The work covers interface configuration, safe operational interlocks and commissioning support.

03

Systems integration

Connecting devices through network and serial communication and integrating a supporting software layer.

The scope includes configuration, diagnostics and verification of communication between system components.

Technical focus

01

Device coordination

Embedded systems control and synchronise connected peripherals and provide the required status information to the integration layer.

02

Communication and integration layer

Network and serial interfaces connect custom electronics, robotics and other devices. A supporting Python/server layer provides general system configuration and diagnostics.

03

Prototyping and commissioning

Development proceeds iteratively from validating individual components to integration into the wider system.

Pigeonit provides testing of its own components, integration testing and technical support during system commissioning.

Result

The result is an evolving set of HW/FW and integration components that support the operation of technical systems for 3D scanning.

The solution is developed with other suppliers; Pigeonit’s role remains limited to custom electronics and firmware, robotics and peripheral integration, system connectivity, testing and commissioning.
