HOW WE WORK:
Development Process
Definition
During the definition phase, we communicate closely with you to clarify and document the following aspects of your project and to receive your approval of the project plan:
- product requirements
- desired performance
- costs
- features
- risk assessment
- regulatory implications
- manufacturing strategy
- project milestones
- contingency strategies
- required technical skill sets
- manpower allocations
- required resources and tools
Design/Model
For most projects, goals change as the work unfolds. During the design/model phase, we assess proposed changes' potential impact on your project and refine the following to accommodate changes:
- develop and assess concepts
- system-level architecture
- software performance specification
- selection of tools to be used
- project history and version control strategy
- tracking and reporting methods
- CAE, FEA, and simulations
- design review
Prototype, Test, and Verify
We usually verify a product's design through prototype testing, though autonomous computer modeling can accelerate this process. During the prototype, test, and verify phase, we:
- fabricate and assemble the PCB
- prototype housings and mechanisms
- use rapid prototyping techniques as needed
- conduct software testing and debugging
- compare results with project requirements
- review the product design
Refine Design and Release Documentation
Often prototype testing reveals the need for additional changes and enhancements to a product. While refining design and releasing document, we:
- update design if required
- conduct a final test
- document the revisions
- review and release documentation
Support
By ensuring close communication with you and encouraging your participation in the product-development process, we ease the transition from prototype to production. During this support phase, we provide the following services:
- training on the new product
- production phase over
- documentation control
- production of product manuals
