PlainCore Robotics & Embedded Systems (TGU der TTI GmbH)

About PlainCore

PlainCore Robotics & Embedded Systems is a transfer and start-up company (TGU) of TTI – Technologie-Transfer-Initiative GmbH at the University of Stuttgart, based in Stuttgart. The company supports other firms in development projects from project planning through to production. Its services include prototype development (consulting, development, manufacturing, programming), embedded software development (C/C++, Java, Python, real-time OS, testing), robotics (sensor technology, control, algorithms, artificial intelligence), IoT solutions (modems, NB-IoT/LTE/LoRa, low power, security) as well as electronics development from consulting through design and layout to board manufacturing. The main product is the PlainSense Gateway, an IoT gateway for automatically transmitting data from external sources, e.g. proprietary sensors, to a dedicated server. All products are delivered with fully open source code, circuit diagrams and design data. Thanks to low-power hardware and software, battery-powered IoT devices can operate for up to 20 years depending on the application without maintenance or battery replacement.
