The company’s flagship product, Apex.OS, consists of two core components: Apex.Grace and Apex.Ida.

      

• Apex.Grace is an application runtime framework in the form of a software development kit (SDK). It provides a robust framework for developing real-time, reliable, and safe applications. Core APIs are based on ROS 2 APIs with numerous extensions enabling real-time execution, reliable performance, deployment into large fleets, system state management, safety, and security and much more. It is safety-certified to ISO 26262 ASIL D. 

• Apex.Ida is a communication middleware delivering optimal high-performance data transport across use cases. These use cases range from fully autonomous vehicles with dozens of high-resolution cameras to small signals with ultra-high frequencies in safety critical domains. Its core is based on a shared memory data transport with connectors into DDS, SOME/IP, MQTT, CAN, and many more protocols, all abstracted into a single application facing API.
   

Additionally, Apex.AI offers:

• Apex.Alan provides customers with a highly optimized and efficient software integration, development environment, build, test, and delivery process.

• Apex.OS for V&V enables record and playback of very large and diverse data streams, both time- and data-deterministically, which is crucial for replay, analysis, and performance evaluation of complex autonomous systems.
