Engineering Flexibility Backed by In-House Development
By engineering our own internal hardware and software, we carry forward proven tools into future client work—delivering polished, integrated, ready-to-deploy systems This vertical integration allows us to quickly deliver self-contained, customized solutions—purpose-built, field-tested, and optimized for the exact requirements of each project.
The following R&D programs are currently under development at ProtoSwift
“Ploceus”
A standardized, modular hardware platform designed specifically for system integration applications. This platform combines a robust core architecture with interchangeable expansion modules, allowing it to communicate using the most common industrial and commercial protocols—RS-232/485, CANbus, Modbus, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, SPI, I²C, and more.
“Mimid”
A universal hardware emulation platform that can replicate the behavior of legacy, proprietary, or custom electronics, providing a flexible solution for both replacement and testing purposes. Built on a modular FPGA/MCU-based architecture, the system can load predefined behavior profiles to emulate sensors, controllers, or custom modules, reproducing the exact signals, timing, and communication protocols of the original hardware.
“Ibis”
A modular, extensible software platform intended to support high-bandwidth data capture, processing, transcoding, and storage. Intended for embedded hardware as well as hosted solutions.
“Corvidae”
A flexible signal analysis platform designed to quickly detect and characterize electrical buses, signals, and communication protocols in unknown or legacy systems. By combining high-speed data capture, adaptive signal processing, and modular interface hardware, the platform can automatically identify common protocols—such as RS-232/485, CANbus, Modbus, SPI/I²C, and more—while also flagging unusual or proprietary signaling. This enables rapid diagnostics, integration planning, and system modernization without relying on documentation or manufacturer support.
