For Mission-Critical Systems: Deterministic Engineering
Industrial Automation · Autonomous Systems · Critical Infrastructure
In environments where system failure is not an option — thermal constraints, µs-level latency requirements and strict regulations — we assume full end-to-end technical responsibility. From custom BSP to TensorRT pipelines, EtherCAT master to deterministic fieldbus architectures — deterministic architectures engineered to last.
All measurements on production-grade hardware, oscilloscope verified
We adapt silicon vendors' default software packages to your custom hardware. Streamlined industrial Linux distributions — stripped of unnecessary components, with minimized security vulnerabilities — to accelerate your time-to-market.
For safety-critical platforms where system failure is not an option, we architect in FreeRTOS, Zephyr and RTOS environments — eliminating priority inversion risks and managing hardware interrupts within the tightest latency tolerances.
We move deep learning models onto the device itself, eliminating cloud dependency. Optimizing your models via TensorRT on NPU, GPU and FPGA hardware accelerators, achieving high FPS performance even within constrained thermal budgets.
[EDGE-AI] Inference latency: 11.2ms
[ETHERCAT] Cycle time: 1.0ms — 0 missed

Your Project
Stays Secure With Us
The biggest concern in technology projects is protecting technical knowledge and intellectual property. Spikedge guarantees this not through "good faith" but through written processes and technical infrastructure.
Signed Confidentiality at Project Start
Every client relationship begins with a mutually signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Architectural decisions, source code, hardware designs and technical documents related to the project are never shared with third parties under any circumstances.
Dedicated Development Environment Per Project
Each project is managed in an independent git repository, isolated build environment and under access control. Code from one project is never used in another. Access logs are maintained throughout the project.
Protection of Test and Field-Generated Data
Field data processed during the project (camera footage, sensor output, telemetry) is transmitted via encrypted channels, stored according to backup policy and securely destroyed upon request at project completion.
Projects Never Left Unfinished
The biggest risk in critical industrial systems is the supplier abandoning the project. Spikedge assigns at least two cross-trained engineers to every project, and source code always belongs to the client.
Let's sign an NDA before you share your project
We can send you the draft NDA document for review before the first meeting.
