TGX - an enhancement of the TruLink with an RF module to integrate with the ICS gas detection ecosystem
The Trulink was modified with a proprietary RF module and new features were added to integrate with the ICS gas detection units and the iNet back end to display position and gas readings.
GCGS - an automated line steering control system for rubber tire Gantry cranes for a container port.
The GCGS system provides steering for Gantry cranes, keeping them on the container line and freeing the operator to focus on the container placement. Multiple sensors are integrated to provide a
centimeter level accuracy for the crane and drives the cranes steering mechanism to guide the crane along the line. Geofencing is included to warn the operator when entering areas requiring special attention.
The system provides an on-board web site for configuration and reports its position via a REST protocol to be displayed on a web based map.
TRULink - Sat/Cell based modem and real-time data collection and transmission for vehicle and equipment monitoring.
The TRULink is an ARM based hardware platform running the Linux OS that can provide continuous tracking and data collection for vehicles and equipment.
The system integrates a cellular modem, GPS, Iridium satellite communications, WiFi hotspot, Zigbee radio and various inputs to allow for a wide variety of integration and
monitoring operations. KH Akira worked on the integration and upgrading of the on-board software and the backend commissioning and maintenance software.
KH Akira was involved in the end-to-end design, development, and certification of the FASTTrack hardware and software.
The software was built on a Linux OS running on a single-board computer hardware platform.
The system integrated GPS, serial data, voltage input readings and satellite based communications
to report helicopter activity such as water volume pickup/dropping for firefighting. Data was transmitted back to servers for web based display and report generation.
KH Akira wrote the firmware for the bucket controller on an ARM processor board.
The controller allows the operator to dial in the desired water volume, controls the bucket hydraulics for filling and
releasing water, and records the location of the event for post-mission retrieval.
