The electric motor manufacturer aimed to enter the market with integrated solutions and supply elevator factories directly with a complete set: electric motor and controller with a setup remote, bypassing intermediate aggregators.

The task was to develop a controller (both hardware and software) that was low in component cost and cheap to produce yet capable of competing in the market as both an Economy and Business segment solution. This required finding a compromise between several factors:

A previous version of the device was released as a two-board controller with a separate remote control.

Based on the operational experience of the previous version, it was required to develop a new unit with key functional additions:

Telematics - data from equipment. It allows the monitoring of the data from the vehicles in real time and controls the fuel consumption and the behavior of the driver. If the driver drives aggressively, advice could follow on how to behave better. For EVs, it can predict battery consumption and life, focusing on the distance.

Telematic data on the server side is good for splitting driver activity from the manager activity.

This feature allows to setup VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) from the could framework and thus perform batch configuration.

Security settings and IDs are specific for each particular VCU to be secured and identified - different vehicles could have different hardware or sets of internal devices (Truck/Bus). Customize for each type of vehicle. We need to change some configuration. Remotely, the operator can change some settings from the cloud, send them to the vehicle, and apply them.

Hardware and software implementation of QKD cryptographic system based on the product E91 protocol. Simulating the QKD system and conducting real-world tests reveal challenges such as signal attenuation, eavesdropping attempts, and environmental factors.

The system allows safe distribution of symmetric keys. The operational challenge was a balancing key generation rates with the distance of transmission and the acceptable error rates is an ongoing concern.
