In a short while after the foundation of InfoDif in 2007, we were informed that 2007 we had the chance to participate in Intel Software Partnership Program and we could be supported within the framework of this program. We submitted our project to Intel Europe and we became an Intel Software Partner. This partnership gave us the opportunity to follow the studies of Intel in Turkey more closely and take place in these studies. We also had the chance to learn about Intel Turkey’s efforts to support specialized software development companies. As opposed to many other international companies, Intel does not limit its activities in other countries with products sales; they also support technological development in the local market. The process which began with Intel Software Partner Program continued with Intel Channel Partnership and we also became Intel Software Tools Authorized Distributor.
We use all Intel software tools (compilers, libraries and parallelization) in all stages of software development. Thanks to the rich processor options of Intel, we do not have problem in finding an Intel processor compatible with our applications which are developed for different sectors with different requirements. Within the framework of Intel Channel Partnership, we have the chance to test our solutions on different Intel architecture processors (Xeon, Atom series). We have optimized our solutions for all 32x and 64x Intel processors. We also make tests with Intel’s laptop processors for mobile operations.
NVidia is the leader GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) manufacturer of the world. NVidia also uses its competency in GPUs in maximizing calculation abilities of these platforms. We use parallel and multi-core programming methods in all of our frameworks (Capra Image Processing Platform and i-bex Video Analysis Platform), solutions and products and in all of them have the ability to exploit performances of multi-core CPUs and GPUs, which enables us real time image processing. While we prefer Intel Atom or Texas Instruments DaVinci DSP series when we should save from energy and volume, we use multi-core Intel CPUs and OpenCL when we do not have such concerns. Our software frameworks and solutions are compatible with OpenCL and we have access to all technical support regarding GPGPU as an NVidia partner.
Our partnership with DELL is continuing within the framework of DELL Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Program. We have the chance to test all of our products on DELL PCs, work stations, laptops and servers. RadiPACS and Io- RIS, which are among our medical image processing products, are designed to be plug&play on DELL work stations. We also test server-based data transfer, image storage or DICOM storage applications on DELL servers. Our software systems such as real time video analysis and medical image transfer which require high performance hardware are tested on DELL work stations and hardware specifications are determined with DELL’s team. When we need a workstation with higher performance than DELL’s existing configurations, DELL develop alternative configurations with Intel CPUs, NVidia GPUs and Seagate hard discs for us and our customers. Finally, high performance DELL laptops are tested for mobile operations and DELL touch screens are preferred when necessary. Through our partnership with DELL, we can provide our customers with comprehensive hardware solutions or consultancy on hardware specifications which are fully compatible with our products and solutions.
Pelco is among the world leaders and designs, develops and produces security systems and equipments for all sectors. It has an established innovation culture which enables Pelco to develop revolutionary products in electronic security sector. It leads the sector with innovative products and solutions which are among the main needs in security industry including secure camera systems, video matrix systems, new generation digital video recorders, IP solutions and fiber optic transfer systems for video and data transfer and monitoring. InfoDif is the unique Turkish video analysis partner of Pelco which is the sector leader and has offices in more than 20 countries throughout the world. Within the framework of our partnership with Pelco, we work on implementing secure DSP algorithms of Capra Image Processing Platform and i-bex Video Analysis Platform on Pelco’s Sarix series IP cameras. We test all filters added to Capra Image Processing Platform and i-bex Video Analysis Platform on Pelco cameras and verify compatibility.
The number and variety of sectors in which our products and solutions are used increase constantly and the share of industrial sectors is very high in this number. Therefore we have to assure that our solutions have to work with high performance in harsh conditions of manufacturing environments. Military applications also require similar hardware durability with industrial applications. Panasonic Thoughbook is our biggest supporter in this field with its Business-rugged, Semi-rugged, Fully-rugged, Ultra- Mobile-rugged and Vehicle-mounted Toughbook series. We test compatibility of all of our solutions, especially military and industrial applications, with Toughbook. Toughbook is our first choice in our durable and mobile hardware requirements with its rugged and ergonomic design. RadiPACS and Callisto DICOM Viewer are optimized for Panasonic MCA (Medical Clinical Assistant). As one of the few recognized "Toughbook Executive" software firms in Turkey, we also contribute in product development processes of Panasonic by communication of our demands and customers’ requirements with them.
Our partnership with Microsoft began in 2007 and we have done a lot together since then regarding corporate solution and product development. We expanded our product range and increased our sales with Microsoft’s support while developing products and solutions fully compatible with Microsoft’s products. In addition, we also provide consultancy to our customers on Microsoft’s products and corporate applications in which these products are used. We develop innovative and original solutions by combining our programming abilities compatible with Microsoft’s products with our expertise in image processing and video analysis.
In image processing and video analysis, storing is as important as capturing and processing images. Seagate is our partner in this field. We test our image and data storage ability on Seagate hard discs since Seagate is a company which proved its success and provides rich storage choices. We select the best match among Seagate products with our hardware partner DELL for applications in which we supply the hardware. When we do not supply hardware, we advise our customers to choose Seagate’s products for better performance.
FEIG is among the leader RFID companies in the world. We have more than 10 years of experience on integration of FEIG’s products and developing software compatible with these platforms. Besides our experience as an integrator, we use FEIG’s products successfully with our own software products. We can develop value added systems with FEIG’s high quality products developed with German engineering approach and develop fast and efficient solutions for our customers.
RF-IT is among our RFID solution partners. RF-IT’s solutions constitutes the skeleton of the systems developed by system integrators. RF-IT supports customers both theoretically and practically with its comprehensive technology consultancy services.
Our RFID solutions partner Intelleflex provides Extended Capability RFID tracking solutions to several sectors. Intelleflex develops Extended Capability RFID solutions especially for inventory tracking applications such as storage management and personnel tracking.
