Slash Your Production Cost

To Minimize Production Cost You Must Choose the Right RTOS


Your manufacturing cost depends critically on the RTOS you select. The RTOS that you select uses memory and processor cycles that add to your manufacturing cost. The compiler that comes with your RTOS translates your software into machine code. The quality of the compiler determines the amount of memory and processor cycles that your software will require. The software development environment that comes with your RTOS may have capabilities to analyze and reduce the memory and processor cycles that your software requires.

Most real time operating system vendors charge their customers a royalty for every electronic product unit that is manufactured. This adds to your manufacturing cost. For many electronic products the royalty charged by traditional real time operating system vendors is a large fraction of the net profit that the manufacturer earns on the product. Traditional RTOS vendors make money by taking a part, sometimes a large part, of your profits. We never charge per unit royalties for the use of our real time operating systems. We only make money by selling you products and services that reduce your development cost, boost your sales and increase your profit margin. Our real time operating systems reduce the production cost of your electronic product by eliminating RTOS royalties.


More Information
The profit margin for an electronic product is very sensitive to its production cost:
» A 5% decrease in Production Cost can increase its profit margin by 7%!
» The production cost of an electronic product also determines its lifetime in the market and its total sales



The lowest manufacturing cost is attained by selecting the smallest, fastest, royalty-free RTOS; the compiler that generates the smallest and fastest machine code; and the software development environment that best reduces the memory and processor cycles that your software requires.

If your product requires the higher reliability offered by a memory protected RTOS, our INTEGRITY RTOS offers the lowest manufacturing cost among high-reliability real time operating systems. Besides being the most reliable RTOS, INTEGRITY is the smallest high reliability RTOS; it is also the fastest high reliability RTOS; and it is royalty-free.

The INTEGRITY real-time operating system, velOSity real-time operating system and µ-velOSity real-time microkernel are all tightly integrated with the world leading Green Hills Software optimizing compilers that generate the smallest and fastest code for a wide variety of processor architectures. They are also supported by the world leading MULTI software development environment that offers the best capabilities for reducing the memory usage and the processor cycles required by your software.

Reduce Your Memory Cost
Memory is a substantial part of the production cost of many electronic products. We reduce the production cost of your electronic product by reducing the amount of memory that your software requires.

Reduce Your Processor Cost
The cost of the microprocessor is a significant part of the production cost of many electronic products. If your software runs faster, you can switch to a lower performance, lower cost microprocessor. This reduces the production cost of your electronic product. Our comprehensive range of products and services reduce your production cost by boosting the performance of your software.

Reduce Your Power Requirements & Cooling Cost
 If your software runs faster, you can switch to a lower performance microprocessor that requires less power. Less power consumption can mean a lower cost power supply and less cooling, reducing the production cost of your electronic product. We can reduce your production cost by boosting the performance of your software.
