Variscite, a global leader in System-on-Module (SoM) design and manufacturing, has announced a collaboration with TARA Systems to integrate TARA Systems’ award-winning graphical user interface (GUI) solution, Embedded Wizard, into Variscite’s SoMs. This partnership aims to simplify the development process, reduce costs, and maximize hardware resource efficiency for customers across various industries.
Embedded Wizard is a highly intuitive framework for creating advanced, high-performance GUIs. When combined with Variscite’s SoMs, such as the DART-MX8M-PLUS and VAR-SOM-MX93, it enables developers to design responsive, visually sophisticated UIs that fully leverage the hardware’s capabilities. This integration provides the perfect solution for industries such as IoT, medical devices, and industrial controls, where smooth, low-latency interfaces and optimal memory usage are critical.
Optimizing UI Performance Across Industries
UI development often faces challenges due to hardware-software compatibility issues and complexity. Variscite’s integration with Embedded Wizard offers an optimized approach, reducing memory footprint while maximizing available memory usage, and allowing UIs to run efficiently even on limited hardware. This solution is flexible enough for cross-platform deployment, enabling faster product rollouts and reducing costs by allowing developers to reuse GUI designs with minimal rework.
Manuel Melic, Product Manager at TARA Systems, highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “This partnership enables the development of high-quality HMIs in a variety of industries, combining performance and aesthetics for advanced devices such as medical systems and consumer gadgets.”
Markus Steidl, Managing Director Sales and Marketing at Variscite GmbH, added: “The demand for efficient graphics in modern HMI applications is growing, and with Embedded Wizard, we’re confident in offering a solution that accelerates development cycles and meets the needs of our customers.”
Key Features of Embedded Wizard:
- WYSIWYG Editor: A modern, user-friendly editor that simplifies GUI creation.
- Comprehensive GUI Elements: A full suite of widgets, effects, animations, and advanced features like multi-variant GUIs, themes, and localization.
- Rapid Prototyping: Instant testing and debugging tools to streamline development.
- Optimized Source Code Generation: Ensures smooth performance on constrained hardware.
- Flexibility: Tailored to meet varying hardware, workflow, and project requirements.
- Comprehensive Support: Includes training and complete GUI implementation services.
Variscite SoMs: Powering the Future of Smart Devices
Variscite’s DART-MX8M-PLUS and VAR-SOM-MX93 SoMs are already integrated with Embedded Wizard. The DART-MX8M-PLUS, based on the NXP i.MX 8 Plus, is designed for compact smart embedded systems, offering AI/ML acceleration and advanced multimedia features. The VAR-SOM-MX93, built on NXP’s i.MX93 application processor, supports energy-efficient smart edge devices and is designed to meet the growing demand for smart technologies at an attractive price point.
Developers can learn more about this collaboration in an upcoming webinar, “How to Effortlessly Create HMIs with Variscite and Embedded Wizard,” on October 9th. To register, visit the Variscite website.
