A perfect blend of ergonomics and high-tech electronics...
Conveniently located in Northern Europe in the trendy Estonian capital Tallinn, Artec Group conceptualises, designs and manufactures user-friendly electronics for the environmentally-aware millennium.
Research and Development
Artec has been delivering advanced cryptographic and microprocessor chip designs (ASIC, FPGA, PC104+, RFID) since the 1990s,
with an early penchant for green computing solutions such as Free Software, terminal clients and wireless devices. Artec's dynamic
team has designed products for sectors as diverse and challenging as automotive and medical diagnostic equipment, inventory tracking solutions,
military cryptographic communication devices, public information kiosks and computer products.
Artec Group commits part of its resources to support the future academic focus on creating new and alternative methods
for product development as well as for bringing to life breakthrough technologies.
Artec Group values the importance of scientific approaches in the R&D process and as a proof of its R&D direction, Artec has partnered with
the Tallinn University of Technology to form a Competence and Technology Consortium ELIKO www.eliko.ee.
Ideas of Excellence
- Alternative methods of signal processing for electrical bioimpedance measurement - Electrical bioimpedance enables sensing of physiological parameters through electrical measurements.
- Self-configurable RFID network technologies - enabling RFID technology foundation to create ad-hock networks.
- Structure Generator (SG) based design flow - IP is complemented with XML 'recipe' where SG reads it together with design data and 'cooks' system and test-bench automatically.
- Local area wireless sensor networks
Green computing
Common denomination of our products design is the Green Computing concept. The products are energy efficient, do not
contain hazardous materials, recyclable, designed according to electronic equipment directives and standards.
