Kean Electronics

Kean Electronics Pty Ltd is an IT consulting and embedded system design house, located in Sydney, Australia.

We specialise in consulting related to Windows, Unix, and Linux servers, firewalls, email systems, networking, and Progress OpenEdge.
We also work with clients to design and prototype embedded systems using off the shelf and/or custom hardware, open source and proprietary software, and various communication networks.
Our designs are simple, yet practical, and we make heavy use of custom software to get the most from the hardware.

Since 1984 we have been designing computerised control systems, and writing software for a variety of applications. Some of these include:

Wildlife monitoring - weighbridges and GPS/accelerometer/altitude activity trackers (STM32/Linux/AVR)
Firmware and hardware for various commercial and 'light art' LED lighting installations
Robotic control for laboratory dispensing and automated testing applications (Arduino/grbl/C#)
Hardware & firmware engineering for Light & Holiday by MooresCloud (Freescale i.MX233/Arduino/Linux)
EDI software for the optical dispensing industry (C#.NET, PHP, XML, Delphi)
Sensors, dataloggers, and telemetry for marine plant and algal studies - including optical and conventional sensors (MSP430)
RFID data capture and automated weighing for Little Penguins (Linux/Arduino/MSP430)
Data capture and integration for residential and office furntiture moves (Android)
Intranet/Extranet applications for asset tracking and RMA processing (PHP/MySQL)
Automated remote-storage spirit (liquor) dispenser with POS integration (Windows Embedded, PIC18, C#.NET, C)
Serial port data capture system capable of monitoring 200+ ports simultaneously (Linux)
Legacy communication protocol converters/gateways (various)
Microcontroller based test equipment, including power usage monitoring system and Cat5 cable tester
Cactus Terminal Emulator for Windows (C++)

The majority of our work is consulting to third parties, and work is usually covered under NDA agreements.
We generally only sell "finished products" to research organisations or universities.

We also have a number of Open Source Hardware projects - some developed in conjunction with the Sydney Hackerspace
