Initiative

You don't sit and wait, you have a hands-on mentality

Joining Prodrive was a dream of mine ever since my first year of study. Back then I was young and green and didn't know what I wanted to do - I just knew I wanted to work for a company that does cutting edge technology, while also being sustainable, and Prodrive fit that description perfectly. At Prodrive Technologies, we aim at our goal of a Lights Out Factory; a fully automated factory requiring no human presence on-site. The Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is automating the logistic process by using the latest navigation and localization algorithms to plan its way through our busy factory floor. Combined with other projects, such as an in-house developed Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and automated test environments, we are realizing the goal of a Lights Out Factory. With the increasing need for CO2 reduction resulting in electrification of the automobile industry, Prodrive Technologies provides OEM (Original equipment manufacturer) companies with innovative power solutions for battery charging. This includes comfort charging, smart charging, and more. We are ready to develop the charging infrastructure of the future, are you? Interconnecting devices through the Internet to collect data and with this, improve efficiency and optimize usage of the available equipment, that is what Embedded Systems is all about. Prodrive Technologies portfolio ranges from products that can be used in harsh environments, such as high powered machinery and vehicles, to products for residential application, such as smart thermostats and gateway. Test automation is working on the Prodrive Technologies goal of a Lights Out Factory. The electronic test system supports that goal by providing test equipment with a uniform interface and form factor, so manufacturing lines can easily be configured for the product's needs. The test equipment includes power supplies, programming modules and measurement tools, all with a common interface to the test system. Combined with other projects, such as an in-house developed Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), we are realizing the goal of a Lights Out Factory. AVIDIS is a low latency audio/video distribution solution over IP, applicable for several types of markets and applications. Prodrive Technologies supplies the hardware and the software as an off the shelf product. The video quality is 4K60 and can offer any required communication/control interface. The product is highly configurable to meet all the demands of a customer's application. Think about KVM, matrix displays, video walls and multi-view applications. The computing systems that Prodrive Technologies develops are used in embedded applications such as image processing, motion control and system control. They process the image data of live X-ray and control the stages of lithography machines that produce the chips in our iPhones. The need for data processing keeps increasing and bigger and bigger systems are necessary to keep up with market demand. Although we also supply single-server applications, we have customers that demand multi-rack systems that exceed 10,000 cores. Every day, we work on solving the challenges to make these systems work easily, efficiently, and reliably. Hello you!
