Xor Systems

Xor Systems is a creative design consultancy, specialising in electronic product design, with an emphasis on embedded systems. We have a full range of design skills, from electronic hardware, software design and mechanical design. We work primarily with embedded systems, computers embedded in other devices to provide some useful role. We have experience in real-time control, machine tool control and data analysis, educational games, vending machines and battery-powered systems. In particular, we have done a lot of work in the Museums and Heritage sector, producing interesting and educational interactives, applying embedded systems design to an educational role. We feel this is still product design; every job is a prototype. View the menu on the left of the screen for some examples of our work.

Experience

We work in a number of different areas. We have considerable experience in the Museum and Heritage sector, with clients such as the Science Museum, London, the V&A Museum, Life Centre etc. We also work in the Vending Machine sector, with clients such as Phillip Morris, Nuttalls etc.

Xor Systems works with other technology companies to jointly develop experimental products in software, computing, networks, graphics and communication. Much of our work has come from spotting opportunity arising from collaborative projects. We also develop our own ideas, based on a mix of expertise from prior projects and a desire to keep abreast of new technologies and developing technologies. Projects and strands of exploration are drawn from areas such as embedded systems, communication, Bluetooth, graphics and education, in collaboration with specialists in other fields, and from looking at opportunities that arise through changes in technology and processes.

Your needs

Systems are built today by collaboration. You have a problem you need solving, but you don't have the expertise in-house. You specialise in one field, such as mechanical design, and want some electronics designed for your system. Or you want some software written to drive the electronic hardware you've designed. We believe that a cost-effective solution is to form a partnership with a like-minded company, to provide the skills that you don't have.

Solutions

Xor Systems will bring a mix of skills to bear on your problem, using our industry experience to understand the problem, and our technology skills to design, develop and deliver an innovative and cost effective solution for you.
