NIPPON Genetics – Fast Gene FAS-X

  • CONZE supported NIPPON Genetics by helping them migrate and optimize the FastGene FAS-X embedded application to a new Linux platform.
  • The FastGene FAS-X is a gel documentation system used to detect DNA and RNA in agarose gels.
  • The goal was to create a seamless, stable, high-performance startup system in the corporate design of NIPPON Genetics.
  • Development of a customized startup routine that runs the underlying Linux in the background and enables the application to start immediately and without interruption.
  • An implementation of a disaster recovery mechanism that automatically responds to failure and independently restores the system.
  • Creation of a customized Ubuntu image: The existing distribution is reduced to the essentials to significantly shorten boot time and optimize system performance for the target hardware.

Challenges

  • Seamless system startup without visible desktop
  • Implementation of a robust recovery system ensures maximum operational reliability
  • Optimize boot performance and response time for a specified Linux distribution
  • Ensuring Stability During Continuous Operation
