Crank Software Announces Availability of the Crank Storyboard Suite of Embedded UI Development Solutions
OTTAWA, ON —Crank Software Inc., an innovator of embedded user interface (UI) solutions, announces general availability of the Crank Storyboard Suite. For R&D teams developing embedded systems that require a dynamic graphical display, Storyboard makes the best use of each team member’s core expertise, streamlines the design cycle, and optimizes hardware performance.
News
Crank Software offers a new, streamlined approach to how R&D teams develop UIs for embedded systems. The Crank Storyboard Suite enables UI designers with no programming experience to drag-and-drop their UI designs and do this in parallel with, yet independently from, the engineers who are coding. This approach saves valuable time and delivers the defined product user experience (UX) to the market.
Storyboard enables portability of UIs across OSs, hardware platforms, and CPU version
Storyboard is scalable across product lines to leverage the investment in R&D efforts
Product information
Storyboard consists of two graphical display development optimization modules:
Crank Storyboard Designer enables UI designers to easily prototype the look and feel of a UI, run simulations of the interface to validate the designs, and move the prototype directly to the embedded device for deployment
Crank Storyboard Embedded Engine is a runtime component that drives the content developed in Designer on embedded devices
Key product features
OS-agnostic Embedded Engine supports any hardware the OS supports
Embedded Engine does debugging, traceability, and performance metrics
Embedded Engine is written in C and source code access is possible for profiling, optimization, testing, and validation
Scalable through plugin architecture and can be customized for the environment’s requirements
Scalable memory requirements minimize impact on bill of materials
Clean design, clean architecture, and drag-and-drop functionality
Leverages the Eclipse environment
GPU hardware optimized
The UI prototype is the product
Availability and pricing
Storyboard is available immediately. While Crank Software markets its embedded UI development solutions to manufacturers of Consumer Electronics, Industrial Devices, and Automotive Head Units, the solutions are not limited to these industries. Please call +1.613.595.1999 or email info@cranksoftware.com for pricing.

"The Crank Storyboard Suite enabled us to quickly prototype and simulate our user interface while providing consistent results across hardware platforms and operating systems. Not only did this streamline our development cycle it also enabled us to provide a richer, more complete experience for our users."
Jason Clarke, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Crank Software Inc.
“Today, UI designers use one development tool and the embedded systems engineers use another. The linear, back-and-forth approach often means R&D teams miss their market window. The Crank Storyboard Suite offers a new approach that not only accelerates time to market; the approach ensures that the UI designer’s envisioned UI is delivered intact.”
