Embedded MPC for Next-Gen Controls

We are specialized in developing Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems for next-gen controls in industrial production. Based on more than 25 years of scientific research, our expertise covers advanced multivariable control design, state-of-the-art optimization algorithms, and efficient and robust software implementation. We focus on real-time embedded systems and have experience in the automotive, aerospace, robotics, energy, and process control domains.

ODYS real-time optimization and embedded MPC software is currently running on more than 3 million vehicles worldwide.

Why using MPC

Model predictive control has a long history of success in the process industries. It is a universal, advanced process control methodology to achieve the best closed-loop performance under constraints by optimally coordinating multiple inputs. Compared to more classical methods such as single PID’s, anti-windup schemes, and look-up tables, MPC is better suited to deal with constrained, multivariable systems. Also, MPC can provide good resilience in case of actuator failure. In our experience, the time to market of MPC-based products is usually shorter than with traditional controls.

ODYS Embedded MPC allows our clients to develop advanced MPC systems also for high-frequency and/or embedded applications, such as those that can be encountered in automotive, aerospace, and robotics.

Application Domains

• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Robotics
• Energy
• Process Control

We help automotive engineers developing advanced control systems based on embedded MPC and machine learning.

We have experience in ADAS, autonomous driving, motion control, powertrain control, vehicle dynamics, valet parking, exhaust aftertreatment, on-board diagnostics (OBD), and more.

We design advanced real-time software tools for guidance, navigation, and control in the space industry. Applications include satellite attitude control, space rendezvous, and autonomous navigation of drones.

Our tools can be used for a wide range of applications in the robotics domain, from low-level motor control to high-level position and force control, and motion planning for autonomous platforms.

We design real-time management systems that can control power flows in smart grids and place bids on the energy markets, to maximize profits in a risk-sensitive way under uncertainty due to load, energy prices, and renewables.

Process engineers in the pulp and paper, steel, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries take advantage of our know-how in embedded MPC to develop customized process control solutions that optimize productivity and save energy under the best use of available resources.
