Aleta^™: Virtual MCU, Assisting Clients in Developing Products "Faster, Better, and More Cost-effective"

The virtual MCU Aleta^™, nominated for the Innovation Software Award at embedded world 2024, represents a breakthrough product introduced by Neoway Technology at the end of 2023. Running on communication modules, this OpenCPU product represents a disruptive technological innovation. It effectively addresses challenges such as high learning costs and high maintenance costs associated with using OpenCPU, while preventing lock-in by specific vendors. Aleta^™ aids customers in developing products that are faster, better, and more cost-effective by eliminating the need for separate R&D and MCU costs, enhancing development efficiency to accelerate product market entry, reducing software fragmentation, and allowing more resources to be allocated across a broader product range.

Revolutionary: For the first time in its application of virtual machine/Hypervisor technology to lightweight/thin IoT terminals, Aleta™ creates a user interface on the communication module that closely resembles that of traditional MCUs.

Originality: Neoway Technology has developed a complete, proprietary Integrated Development Environment (IDE) toolchain that supports offline development and simulation, significantly enhancing the development and testing efficiency of IoT products.

Inheritability: Catering to customers' existing embedded development experience and knowledge, Aleta’s virtual MCU architecture is identical to that of traditional MCUs. This not only provides a seamless transition for developers familiar with conventional MCU architectures but also allows for the quick porting and adaptation of existing MCU-based software without the need to learn new development languages or environments.

Smart Emergency Vehicle Lights: Globally Leading, Enhancing Driving Safety for Car Owners Worldwide

Neoway Technology has pioneered the intelligent emergency vehicle light, a product designed to solve critical safety issues faced by drivers. In situations such as accidents or breakdowns on highways, drivers may hesitate to set up a warning triangle due to safety concerns or may be unable to accurately communicate their location for emergency services. The intelligent emergency vehicle light, which can be activated and placed on top of the vehicle, emits a flashing bright light to alert other drivers, enhancing road safety and preventing secondary accidents. Additionally, when the SOS button is pressed, the device can send the accident location and distress messages to relevant authorities, insurance companies, rescue organizations, and family members through a connected mobile app, further aiding in timely and effective emergency responses. This innovative product is now being shipped in large volumes to European countries and is gradually gaining popularity in China and globally, reflecting Neoway Technology's commitment to enhancing automotive safety and emergency response capabilities.
