DMC can write new code or\u00a0take over ownership of existing code for a multi-axis therapeutic bed.\u00a0We have experience ramping-up on existing hospital bed architecture and offering hardware and software experience to troubleshoot the overall system during development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Due to diverse needs, such as coordinated multi-axis moves, software safety routines, and various business requirements, DMC’s code divides\u00a0programming logic from business logic.\u00a0This enables\u00a0business requirements to be easily added upon a reliable, low-level control structure.\u00a0Thus, the desired performance of the bed is achieved while increasing maintainability and eliminating bugs and errors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

An important feature in this process, considering the beds\u2019 intrinsic need to be safe and reliable when used by patients, is to ensure the robustness of the safety algorithms.\u00a0DMC\u2019s industry experience allows\u00a0the projected failure modes to be addressed, and unanticipated modes to be discovered and handled.\u00a0This includes implementing soft limits, filtering noisy signals, and architecting complex routines to handle obscure, hard to detect events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC can also add enhanced features to the\u00a0platform, such as better calibration, intuitive engineering scaling, and an integrated test mode.\u00a0By designing high level functions like these into the code early on, the results anticipate\u00a0and cover the customer\u2019s needs for a supportable product. These features provide the finishing touches to the rest of the development work done by DMC and help\u00a0move product lines towards a successful launch.<\/p>\r\n
