School Class Observation System
Continuous teacher training and improvement is a key requirement in schools today and this system was developed to allow teachers to record their own lessons and have lessons observed live by their peers, without affecting the pupils in the classroom. IBEX designed all of the system electronics, embedded software, PC software and server software. The […]
Nurse Call System
This project involved developing a radio based paging system, designed for use by people with limited mobility. A bedside control unit is connected to a client patented sense pad which provides an ingenious method of detecting user input from people unable to use conventional keypads and buttons. The user is able to generate actions through […]
Alarm messaging transmitter
For this project our client already had a wireless system that is installed in large retail outlets around the world. A new feature request had emerged to be able to feed alarm notifications into their existing system and IBEX was asked to develop a way to accomplish this. Utilising an existing wireless transmitter PCB already […]
Modified existing product
Sometimes you have something existing that is a great solution, but it doesn’t do everything you need from it. One option when faced with this issue is to simply design a new circuit board that connects into it and adapts it for the new use. For this project the existing product in question was actually […]
EDID video config emulator
DVI connections died out on personal computers in favour of HDMI and then DVI, but have remained well used in the professional large format display industry. In these applications, long cable runs are often used together with the need to sometimes manipulate what a computer’s graphics card “sees” is connected to it. IBEX developed this […]
USB illuminated button module
Our clients new product incorporated a computer that they had developed in house, but needed a small bank of professional buttons to allow users to interact with its front panel. The buttons chosen are widely used in the broadcast industry and IBEX designed this simple PCB plus the embedded software to allow the buttons to […]
Floatation tank control system
IBEX was commissioned to design the complete control system for a brand-new floatation tank concept developed by our client. The aim was to automate all of the aspects of the day-to-day running of a floatation tank and create a perfect experience for the user. This control system regulated the heating of the tank, automated filtration […]
Fluid filter control module
Our client invented and patented a revolutionary self -cleaning filter for industrial fluid systems. Like all great inventions, it is beautifully simple and boasts that it uses less water and requires less energy than any other similar filtration methods in its class. IBEX was commissioned to design the electronics for the new filter unit, with […]
Bicycle hire station
IBEX was commissioned to develop the hardware and embedded software for a new street-based bicycle rental station. With power typically provided from a rechargeable battery pack, for low-cost street installation, all of the system electronics were designed for minimal power consumption and ultra-low power sleep states. Operating times of many weeks were achieved between battery […]
Kinetic sculpture controller
A client we’ve worked with for many years is a renowned kinetic sculptor, creating incredible moving pieces often with lit elements to accentuate the beautiful effects. After designing several bespoke control systems IBEX was asked to develop a standardised controller that could be used across a wide range of projects, with software customised for each […]
