FASTER ROUTES TO MARKET FOR THE ‘NEXT BIG THINGS’
Now generally available, ‘ARTEOS’ source code will save product innovators thousands of pounds and years in development, speeding up the route to market for many new and next generation products. The remote monitoring and control possibilities it opens up will also help companies reduce both their payroll and their carbon footprint.
Imagine a business where heat and light run like clockwork, monitored and adjusted automatically, delivering vast energy savings and dramatically reducing cost... Consumer market innovations will present remote accessibility for many of our existing domestic appliances, controlled simply by our mobile phones or web browser. These visions are already technically possible but the development bill can be huge and cost prohibitive, especially for low value items. Products like this could become a reality with the adoption of ARTEOS to kick-start the development phase.
ARTEOS is an embedded operating system code suite, developed by AEL Microsystems. It can be implemented for any next generation product that requires control, monitoring or remote access using embedded technology. Taking the next technological step with ‘plug and play’ ARTEOS will save years of development and potentially many thousands of pounds. Being meticulously ‘clean’ and complete source code, it also offers the quality and integrity that you will not get if outsourcing development from scratch.
The source code is available for product developers to use, royalty free and is considerably more cost effective than alternative solutions. The complete ‘off the shelf’ package retails at £10k, entry level pricing starts from £3k. AEL also offer specialist, bespoke hardware and software consultancy for implementation and ongoing maintenance.

About ARTEOS
ARTEOS is an Advanced Real Time Embedded Operating System and has been designed for use with products requiring a fully pre-emptive multitasking operating system. One of the key features of the ARTEOS system is the ability to be ported on to a variety of different CPU platforms. In most cases it provides a ‘plug and play’, ready to run application framework which can easily tailored to suit any application in a nine-step start-up procedure.
ARTEOS provides complete, pre-emptive, real-time kernel, generic I/O subsystem, file system and TCP/IP stack. Additional I/O subsystem modules can be seamlessly added to the generic I/O subsystem, providing endless expansion possibilities for new devices and protocols. Device drivers provided to use the devices integrated in the microcontroller for networking, serial communications, de-bugging and file management.
All of the ARTEOS source and header files are written using a standard, clean format that allows the user to clearly understand the operation of the function if the need arises. In addition, ARTEOS comes with an online, sensitive HTML help file, which is built in, using input from the entire source and header files. This provides an extremely quick way of navigating around the source code, if required, as well as providing additional documentation and diagrams that describe the operating system.
