Camera Control System

Camera control for a leading broadcasting systems provider

Three industries, ten years
of delivered systems

Deep experience in a few demanding areas rather than broad coverage.

Medical Devices & Life Sciences

Software that ships inside regulated devices, plus clinical applications and instrument acquisition software. We work as a qualified supplier inside the client’s IEC 62304 lifecycle and ISO 13485 quality system.

Device software

Released as part of a regulated device, inside your lifecycle process.

Clinical applications

Standalone diagnostic and analysis software with structured reporting.

Instrument software

Acquisition, control and analysis for laboratory instruments.

Surgical microscope in a clinical setting

Industrial Automation

Inspection, control and connectivity for production environments - from camera and lens through to the software that moves data into your existing systems.

Machine vision & robotics

Inline inspection at production speed, including optics, lighting and calibration.

Embedded & HMI

Controller software on embedded Linux and MCU targets, with operator interfaces.

IoT connectivity

Modbus, BLE, LoRa and Zigbee bridged to MQTT and higher-level systems.

Industrial inspection cell on a production line

Broadcast, Media & Sports

Three years developing critical components for one of the world’s leading broadcast systems providers, including the current generation of their flagship studio control system.

Camera control & robotics

PTZ and robotic control, studio mapping, NDI and SMPTE 2110.

Automatic tracking

Real-time subject tracking across four cameras on GPU-optimised detection.

Sports video analysis

Event detection, highlight generation and ball tracking in live footage.

What we do

Five areas where we take full technical ownership, from architecture to long-term maintenance.

Applied R&D

Problems without an established solution: feasibility studies, algorithm development and prototypes where the approach has to be worked out rather than selected.

Technology review Working prototype Defensible estimate

Embedded systems

Firmware and embedded Linux on ARM, with Modbus, BLE, LoRa and Zigbee connectivity.

Energy bike Jetson hazard detection

We meet you where the project is

Most engagements take one of three shapes, and many move between them.

Concept to solution

A problem with no established answer. We research, prototype and engineer it into working software.

Rescue and upgrade

Half-working software. We take it over, stabilise it and extend it, without a rebuild.

Team extension

Specific capability added alongside your engineers: vision, real-time, embedded systems.

Who we work with

Long-running relationships with medical device, industrial and broadcast companies across Europe and the US. Logos shown with permission.

“Softhenge is a serious IT consultancy with a passion for complex problems. As a project manager, Narek excelled. He was always available and very proactive. It allowed for building confidence in the team's capability and this certainly helped deliver this project on time. The team showed flexibility when needed. I fully recommend them.”
shtk Advanced camera support systems, UK
“Working with Softhenge engineers helps us enhance our device in many ways, including, automating routines, improving sample visualizations, as well as refining the user interface. The team is knowledgeable, fun to work with, efficient, and maintains the highest level of quality management.”
art Clinical stage health technology company, Switzerland
“Softhenge is a company with very skilled cross platform C++ developers. They understand the problem and do their best to solve it. Very experienced developers, and their codes are well written and well documented. Would definitely work with them in the future.”

Narrow by choice, deep by necessity

2016Delivering since
EU · USClient base
50+ Delivered projects

Softhenge builds computer vision, embedded and AI software for European and US clients - including ten years of continuous work for Swiss medical device and industrial companies. We work the way engineering suppliers in regulated industries need to work: scoped proposals with defined deliverables, honest estimates with visible buffers, and code another team can maintain after handover.

Our depth is deliberately narrow. Rather than covering every technology, we go deep on a small set: real-time image processing, cross-platform applications that operate physical equipment, and software on constrained hardware. Most engagements start as a fixed-scope project and continue as a long-term technical partnership - and when a project needs something outside our range, we say so.

Specialist depth, where you need it

We plug into the parts needing vision, real-time or embedded expertise.

Estimates you can plan against

A defined estimate before work starts, or a short investigation first.

Comfortable with unsolved problems

Feasibility work and prototyping are where we do our strongest work.

Visible progress throughout

Status against plan as work proceeds, not at handover.
