Electronic Airfield Ground Lighting Equipment
Interleader offers an innovative range of electronic Airfield Ground Lighting equipment and systems for night-time VFR operation at permanent and temporary helipads and designed particularly for HEMS operation. Using the Proteus Design Suite, the eAGLe® range is engineered for pilot effectiveness, simple installation and operation, safety, economy, long life and low maintenance. The majority of the eAGLe® brand of advanced LED lighting solutions are sold through FEC Heliports Worldwide as part of their extensive range of heliport products. Interleader offers research and development capability to third party organisations and can provide a design only or design and build capability with the Proteus Design Suite CAD software.
eAGLe® is the registered trademark of Interleader Limited.
Underground Pipeline Corrosion Engineering
MCMiller & Co. use the Proteus Design Suite to develop and build instruments that detect and record the extent of external corrosion on underground pipelines.
Vehicle Dashboard
The SPA integrated dash display system has been developed using the Proteus Design Suite to cover a wide variety of applications from OE manufacturers, competition vehicles, motorcycles, kit and custom cars. This is a beautifully designed instrument combining traditional looks with modern electronics.
MIDI Converter & Hi-Z USB Audio Interface.
Sonuus have developed a range of products using the Proteus Design suite, using the full range of simulation and PCB Layout tools. The i2M musicport™ combines the features of both the G2M™ and B2M™ (to support both guitar and bass) with an optimised USB interface for even faster MIDI performance. Featuring extended MIDI features and configurability to satisfy the most demanding users, and a high-impedance audio interface that won’t suck the tone from your instrument, the i2M musicport™ is the new way to connect your musical instruments to your computer.
Neptune 5000
Datem Ltd use Proteus as a core development tool in their design and manufacture of seabed cone penetration systems for a global client base. With more than 30 seabed systems worldwide Datem is one of the major manufacturers of CPT equipment.
Unmanned Aircraft
Sky Circuits Ltd. used the Proteus PCB Layout Tools to create a fully integrated, single package autopilot system, proven on a wide range of unmanned aircraft platforms that have been deployed around the world.
Truck Braking Systems
Emilen Ltd used the Proteus Design Suite to design the breaking safety feature that is now found on most Caterpillar Trucks. This little device prevents the brakes from being released if the trailer is not hitched correctly.
Evacuation Technology
Vimpex are acknowledged experts in voice sounder and audible/visual evacuation technology. Using the Proteus Design Suite, they produce many different alarm and sounder systems The Fire-Cryer® Voice Sounder is testimony to Vimpex's enthusiasm for innovation and a fresh approach to evacuation.
Industrial Elevators
Developed using the Proteus Design Suite, the Digital Advanced Control MEC32 Lift Controller Microprocessor system utilises the latest microcontroller technology to bring 32Bit processing to the lift industry. The 32Bit processing core is a high performance MIPS® M4K® used widely in both commercial and industrial applications.
Titan 5 - Universal Strength Tester
The circuits inside this beast were developed using the Proteus Design Suite. James Heal who developed the Titan have substantially increased the tension and compression capacities of the latest model of our Universal Strength Tester. The Titan 5 now provides the capacity to accommodate tests up to 5000 Newtons (5kN). This increase in capacity, in conjunction with the existing and new enhanced range of tooling, intuitive software and automated processes, gives laboratories the potential to significantly increase the number and scope of tests offered. With this instrument laboratories will be able to comply with more Standards and perform a wider array of tests on a wider range of product types.
"We are very pleased with the Proteus simulator. I got my project designed and working in no time, without having to develop a breadboard."
Boeing Satellite Development Center
"We use the Proteus suite regularly and we really appreciate both the simple user interface and the number of features. When we have faced a limit or a problem, the support response has always been fast and focused. Proteus is a good solution for reasonably complex design."
Gael Salles:
ST MicroElectronics
"We have been using Proteus for over 7 years and have found it to be the most flexible and cost effective design solution on the market In the past we have run EasyPC, Protel and even flirted with CadStar but none offer the speed and intuitive use that Proteus has."
Kevin Edwards:
Talk Electronics Design Director
"PCB design is our business. We review PCB layout software on an ongoing basis and Labcenter has topped the list for the last 10 years. Certainly the most productive and very, very affordable. We have licences for other very expensive products but they don't get much use."
Donald Kay:
Don Alan Pty Ltd.
"We chose to use Labcenter products after evaluating major competitors including CADSTAR for a long period. We found the Proteus suite to offer excellent value for money and improved functions and ease of use compared to the competitors."
Nick Evans:
Genesys IBS Ltd.
"From schematic and simulation through to CAD/CAM output and BOM scripts, Proteus electronic design software reliably delivers all the functionality I would wish for in an intuitive and straightforward manner. The modular pricing structure allows for selection of the level of functionality and capacity that best suits the business, avoiding the waste of thousands of pounds that comes with one-size-fits-all software, whilst keeping open the option to upgrade if and when it is needed."
Alan Foster:
Copeman Hart & Company Ltd.
"Proteus is without a doubt the best schematic entry, PCB design, and simulation package for the money. It rivals software such as Protel DXP in many areas, but it is easier to use. The standard autorouter in Proteus does an excellent job and saves us a lot of time as well. We are very pleased with the product and recommended it to anyone that wants a high end tool package for a reasonable price, you won't be disappointed with Proteus -- in addition, their customer support is #1, their techs are expert at PCB layout and schematic entry and can help you with any problems you might have with their tool."
Andre Lamothe:
CEO / Chief Scientist Nurve Networks LLC
"I have to say at this point that in my opinion Proteus VSM is absolutely ACE. While I try not to be too public in my delight for products, I cant stop myself now, I have saved days and days using this tool. Only today I got some code working where I had 2 Microchip PICs talking to each other and monitored the timing with the Logic analyser. Stopping now and then to single step at crucial points. I doubt if I could have got it working without it. It's not the first time I have used the tool in this way but every time I do I'm so impressed."
Timothy Box:
TJB Systems Ltd.
"I developed a product that uses RS232 comms to control a radio, the hardware was totally developed in VSM. Proteus VSM has a virtual port that uses the PC's RS232 to talk to the radio and the PC simulates the PIC and all the hardware inside VSM, no prototype to build. Fantastic!!!"
Mark Rodgers:
"I use Proteus VSM for PIC and the IAR C compiler which allows me to run PICs to emulate all my mechanical devices as my 'test harness' prior to developing the system proper. I estimate that my development time is now 20% of what it was before for any given design, and because of the general flexibility and information views, simulations can be run as a virtual world tests in their harnesses for days at a time and I can minimise the testing when I build in the real world."
