Nestwave enables the proliferation of IoT geolocation by providing the smallest, most efficient, lowest component count solutions. Our combination of IP and cloud services eliminates the need for conventional GPS/GNSS chipsets and dramatically reduces power consumption.
Because of this, our technologies minimize the bill of materials, extend the battery life and speed the time-to-market of accurate indoor and outdoor positioning and tracking applications.
Combining GNSS, 5G and WiFi location, Nestwave IP can be incorporated into existing DSPs and modems without re-design. Cloud-assisted implementation leverages the computation power of the cloud and keeps power consumption to a minimum.
The unprecedented power and BoM savings realized by Nestwave’s innovative technology significantly improve existing positioning and tracking applications.
They also open the door to the integration of geolocation in applications where power and size limitations would previously have made this impossible.
And by combining lower power consumption with the use of fewer components, Nestwave solutions contribute to environmental sustainability and reduced carbon footprints.

VISION INDUSTRIELLE 3D MULTISPECTRALE ET ULTRA-RAPIDE
Tridimeo propose aux industriels des solutions de vision 3D précises et rapides pour faire du contrôle qualité à haut débit ou automatiser du guidage robotique.
INNOVATION :
Grâce à une technologie développée au CEA, le scanner 3D à lumière spectralement codée, Tridimeo fait franchir une étape majeure à la vision industrielle. Plus besoin de compromis entre précision et vitesse : les images 3D sont
délivrées jusqu’à une cadence de 5 images/seconde, avec une précision submillimétrique. De plus, l’acquisition de spectres optiques permet de monitorer la couleur des produits ou de détecter des éléments indésirables, comme une goutte de liquide sur le col d’une bouteille.
APPLICATIONS
Tridimeo permet ainsi aux industriels de systématiser le contrôle qualité, même sur des chaines à haut débit. Les défauts sont détectés très en amont dans le processus de fabrication et le coût des non-conformités baisse fortement. Autre application, le guidage robotique : la localisation 3D des pièces, en temps réel et en précision
submillimétrique, ne retarde jamais la tâche à accomplir.

EDXACT provides high-precision, high-performance technology for backend physical verification.
EDXACT is addressing one of the most predominant problems in physical verification:
the explosion of data due to an accrued need to cope with parasitic elements.
Our task is to bridge the gap between extractors, which generate enormous amount of data and
simulators, which can no longer cope with those amount of data.
By ensuring accuracy, together with a substantial decrease in simulation time, circuit designers are
now able to gain time and confidence in the results of backend verification.
