I'm a software and firmware developer at SEAC s.r.l. located in Calenzano, Prato, Italy.
SEAC designs, manufactures and sells clinical instruments for RADIM
The instruments I've recently been involved with are:
A small blood cell counter with an integrated thermal printer.
A big machine (160 Kg) controlled by a custom PC and 4 slave CPUs. It handles up to 18 microplates and has one XYZ robotic arm. The picture on the right shows an outside view of the instrument. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the insides.
A small, yet sophisticated photometer with 8 interferential filters, a thermal printer, peltier heating/cooling system and asprirating pump.
A new generation photometer, gone into production on November 1999. This instrument has the ability to upgrade its firmware by downloading new versions through the RS-232 port. The thermal printer motors and head are controlled by a real-time driver running on the main MCU.
I feel very proud of this firmware. The most interesting part to design was its real-time microkernel, which I would like to reuse for several other projects.
