Turbogenerator Maintenance

An international leader in the power generation industry recently partnered with Bluel to create a wireless application for turbogenerator maintenance. By eliminating tedious manual procedures and improving measurement accuracy, this automated solution dramatically accelerates the inspections. The system was featured in Automation Magazine, and a research paper was presented at the EPRI International Maintenance Conference.

High-accuracy Timing

Bluel Technologies prototyped a high-accuracy timing peripheral for a client who needed to overcome the poor realtime performance of Win32 operating systems. The hardware was designed in collaboration with an electronic engineering firm, using an RS232 serial interface and PIC series microcontroller. The BIOS firmware and Win32 device drivers were developed in-house by Bluel.

6502 Cross-Assembler

In the 1990's, Bluel developed a cross-assembler/disassembler for older Motorola / 6502 family microcontrollers. This was needed for a specialized application which required several custom language extensions to facilitate highly optimized code. The assembler's feature set included special meta-instructions, temp labels, and dynamic variable allocation. It also included a custom linker for special-purpose memory layouts.
