Kean Electronics is an IT consulting and embedded system design house, located in Sydney, Australia.
We specialise in consulting related to Windows and Linux servers, firewalls, email systems, and networking.
We also work with clients to prototype embedded systems using off the shelf and custom hardware, open source and proprietary software, and communication networks.
Our designs are simple, yet practical, and we make heavy use of custom software to get the most from the hardware.
Since 1984 we have been designing computerised control systems, and writing software for a variety of applications. Some of these include:
- Hardware & firmware engineering for Light by MooresCloud project (Raspberry Pi/Freescale i.MX233 & MMA7660FC/LPD8806/Linux)
- EDI software for the optical dispensing industry (C#.NET, PHP, XML)
- Sensors, dataloggers, and telemetry for marine plant and algal studies - including optical and conventional sensors (MSP430)
- RFID data capture and automated weighing for Little Penguins (MSP430/Linux)
- Data capture and integration for residential and office furntiture moves (Android)
- Intranet/Extranet applications for asset tracking and RMA processing (PHP/MySQL)
- Automated remote-storage spirit (liquor) dispenser with POS integration (Windows Embedded, PIC18, C#.NET, C)
- Serial port data capture system capable of monitoring 200+ ports simultaneously (Linux)
- Legacy communication protocol converters/gateways (various)
- Machine and robot control boards - stepper or servo motor control
- Remote audio switcher (68HC11)
- Microcontroller based test equipment, including power usage monitoring system and Cat5 cable tester
- EPROM programmer for TRS-80 and IBM PC
- Z-80 in-circuit emulator
- Assembler, BASIC and Forth programming environments
- Greenhouse environmental control system (68HC11)
- Automated school bell system (Z80)
- Cactus Terminal Emulator for Windows (C++)
The majority of our work is consulting to third parties. We do not sell any of the above as finished products, and work is generally covered under NDA agreements.
