Better decisions.
Less wasted
work.

We develop tools to make better use of measurements, radio signals and energy—from compact devices to complex machines.

For defense, government and industry.

THE OPPORTUNITY IN OUR READING-PLAN STUDY

Put each reading to better use.

23.8%

Fewer planned readings

Average cut in the minimum readings needed to keep the old equal-plan quality limit.

26.3%

Lower modeled variance

At the original reading budgets, a steadier combined result than equal reading counts.

TWO DESIGN CHOICES

Keep more precision.
Or do less work.

Use the gain for a steadier answer, or fewer readings at the old quality limit.

Averages across 12 selected model cases. Exact allocation methods matched FI. These figures describe reading plans. Any device saving depends on the work removed and the processing added. See the evidence and full comparison.

WHAT LESS WORK CAN MEAN

Energy saved.
Design room gained.

When hardware skips readings and saves more energy than FI adds in processing, the same useful job needs less average power at the same work rate. Designers can put that saving to work.

Lower net energy per job can extend battery life.

Stay on longer.

The same battery can run longer at the same work rate. Or, a smaller battery may deliver the original runtime.

Less heat from skipped work can ease cooling needs.

Make room for a smaller design.

Lower battery or cooling needs can reduce size, weight and part cost when a redesign removes more than it adds.

Saved energy can support another useful function.

Use the power budget better.

Put spare energy toward more useful work within the same power budget. This does not itself raise radio output power.

Less waste can mean less heat to manage, more time between charges, or more work from the same machine. The right balance depends on what your product needs to do.

FOR INVESTORS

Better technology.
More ways to grow.

FI’s work spans devices, radio systems and industrial equipment. Explore where our strongest results could become products with lasting value.

More room for the mission. Less spent on wasted work.

FOR GOVERNMENT & DEFENSE

Make every watt
and every ounce count.

From sensing and radio to compact electronics, we target the waste that adds heat, drains batteries and takes up space. Our goal is equipment that can do more within the limits of the mission.

Less waste in the machine. More value from the work.

FOR INDUSTRY

Get more from
the systems you build.

Longer runtime, less heat and better use of space can change a product. FI explores where smarter software and electronics could make that difference.

THE FI PORTFOLIO

Eight paths.
Built to work together.

Measurement planning is one part of FI. We also develop amplifier models, checked device code, energy tools and more. Compatible tools can share one machine.

Products are in development. Combined designs must account for shared work and total cost.
