nFocal

nFocal Inc. is a design services company headquartered in Rochester, New York. nFocal concentrates on system development for highly-complex products with embedded processing units. We work with your development team to bring these products to market. Think industrial automation, imaging systems, controls, IoT and communications, real-time operating systems, embedded Linux. That is where our clients work, and that is what we do. Our projects do not fail – we deliver on time, on budget, and under control – and have been successfully completing projects for 19 years.

Our focus is embedded systems, and the devices, apps, and enterprise backends that they communicate with. Our workflows involve systems engineering, project management, software/hardware/FPGA development, and testing fixtures and infrastructure. We’ve worked in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, Internet of Things, imaging, medical devices, and public safety.

Software Development Services

We live in a highly-connected world. The Internet of Things, or IoT, ties the world together with sophisticated communication protocols and multi-faceted use cases. Your connected product must interoperate here. Efficiently. Safely. And securely.

Application Integration

The “Internet of People” and the “Internet of Things” (IoT) have converged. Devices are no longer expected to perform only their primary tasks – they must now work within the context of a larger software application. nFocal has the networking and connectivity expertise to connect your device to people, systems, software, and other devices.

Remote Service Design

Connected devices open the door for remote servicing programs. Remote servicing avoids travel costs and allows a service engineer to have access to the full range of tools, software, and support personnel at the corporate office. We have worked on dozens of remote servicing projects and understand the typical use cases that must be satisfied for a remote servicing program to be effective. Use our experience with multiple IoT toolkits to enhance your remote servicing initiatives.

Security Design & Development

Everybody wants security. Stated another way, nobody wants to deal with the aftermath of a security breach. Few people understand how to design and develop security components into your product from the ground up. Security development requires processing power, resources, and sometimes has a bill-of-materials impact. We have been generating secure system designs for over a decade and can help you avoid the common pitfalls with security design and development.
