The company is a $9.5 billion strategic business group applying sensing and control expertise that helps create safer, more comfortable, more secure and more productive environments.

The common denominator across the entire the company's portfolio is a pioneering expertise in sensing and control. It's the science of capturing more and better data, and then applying the insight to make devices, systems and processes smarter, more capable and more valuable.

The company, a leader in Automation and Control Systems, faced unprecedented workload to deliver a new generation of leading technologies, an aftermath of September 11 combined with the company's high market visibility.

The company's Chinese branch was assigned with the task of developing a new building automation sub-system, to be embedded into the company's corporate offer.

In order to meet the tight project deadline, its China branch needed to team-up with a reliable company, able not only to provide with a team of qualified engineers, experts in embedded applications, but also capable of working with a world-class organization, i.e. familiar with 6-sigma procedures.

Venus set up in record time a team of 15 engineers who had to work in a restricted area for security reasons. After 18 months of development and test, Venus delivered in a timely fashion the entire application. In sight of this success, the company has asked Venus to also provide technical support and upgrade service for the system.

According to JianPing Ru, Director, "Developing this system together has been a unique experience. We had little time to train the Venus engineers to the company's set of internal procedures, which are quite sophisticated. The team picked up extremely rapidly, and worked hard implementing advanced techniques to deliver the system in time, a must for the company integration team which had to bring together the various subsystems into the final commercial product."

Technologies involved in this project included UCOS control system, Windows, C++, ARM CPU core based embedded technology, MPU / MCU, Image processing, and real-time control technology.

The company had a sudden need for more technical resources to develop a new mission-critical embedded system . The resources had to be able to work with the highest Industry standards (6-Sigma). Intellectual Property protection and tight security measures were an absolute MUST .
