Audesse FlexCase

The Easiest Automotive Grade Controller for Rapid Control Prototyping

Introducing the FlexCase. Our controller’s power and versatility make it suited for industries that depend on high-reliability. If you have great ideas, we want to empower you to bring those ideas into reality.

  • Easy-to-Use Tools – Use MATLAB/Simulink or C development environments, with no additional licence fees.

  • Automotive Grade – ISO26262 ASIL B/D, AUTOSAR Classic complaint, and EMC certified for VCU applications.

  • Built for Speed – Integrates with all the tools you already use. Effortlessly program over Ethernet or Wi-Fi and debug real-time.

  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G & 5G Powered – Easily augment your FlexCase with wireless and GPS functionality.
  • Full Life Cycle – Flexible for use in initial development, robust for deployment or commercial endeavours.

The FlexSeries hardware quickly integrates with your existing workflow. Simply plug-and-play .

Process Anything On The Edge – Take advantage of our co-processor design to run your machine learning, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving algorithm on our high speed or power efficient processor

Application Suggestions – Easily run your advanced driver assistance, predictive maintenance, connected vehicles, and estimation algorithms. See our portfolio for more inspiration.

Get to Market Fast

Use our wide range of development, calibration, and testing tools to get from concept, through design and validation, and into PPAP and production .

Program the FlexCase yourself using production flash tools or have it programmed at the factory for you.

Easy Service and Continuous Innovation with FlexConnect

Push updates over LTE anytime, anyplace whether they be new features or bug fixes. Stay ahead of your competition and delight your customers with a modern updated experience.

Data Collection at Any Stage

Use global LTE and GNSS to upload system metrics from concept to fleet management. Make decisions based on data at every stage.

Record large datasets locally for offline analysis or utilize our edge compute to process data on the vehicle. Upload only the actionable metrics to the cloud.

How Does It Work?

Our FlexBench and FlexCase hardware is easily expanded by attaching almost any device to the CAN bus or Ethernet network present. We have a number of pre-approved add-ons listed above which make the task even easier and are automatically setup.

Out of the box, you can connect your FlexCase to your computer and flash your first program in minutes.

The quick-start and Simulink modeling guides will give you the basics of developing controller software with your device, before integrating into your specific setup.

Once you are familiar with the basics, the manual will provide everything you need to know to develop your project. The user manual contains the details and usage guides for the available pieces of hardware and software. This includes the board I/O, communication between different modules, pin-outs, and application notes.

Configure the FlexCase to your needs. Quickly get a high reliability, 4G enabled, and industry ready:

Data Logger & Processor – Analyze and log to an SD card or your cloud.

Embedded Computer – Take advantage of the full Linux OS to run your machine learning or AI applications on the edge.

Telemetry Module – Update your system over the air or control it real-time with teleoperation

Vision System – Attach a camera and include vision in your system. Take advantage of libraries like OpenCV.

ADAS Controller – Drop in your advanced algorithms onto our automotive grade control system. Run systems like model predictive control with ease.

PLC – Use the FlexCase in PLC applications requiring simple programing, industrial I/O, and deterministic programming.

CAN controlled I/O Module – Utilize CAN FD to have the FlexCase act as a sub-1ms latency controller.

HMI – Use the FlexCase to drive an GUI with tools like FreeMaster and Grafana.

Define your control system variables to run experiment seamlessly from ideation to completion. Tune your system as needed and monitor the results real time.
