We develop user and product requirements, provide design paths to achieve a working solution, and develop and test solutions. We set up suppliers with production documentation, deliver user guides, and support product deployment and ongoing production.
Our expertise can also be applied to updating and adapting existing systems to improve their efficiency.
We use a structured approach in mechanical design, including defining requirements, brainstorming, prototyping, and testing to create solutions that meet customer needs. This covers metal component design (sheet metal, casting, machining, welding in various materials), plastic component design (injection molding, machining, thermoforming), and finishing processes (anodizing, painting, plating, galvanizing).
We select and integrate electrical components, establish communication systems, and ensure weatherproofing and durable packaging to reduce field failures. This includes selecting and integrating off-the-shelf items like controllers, displays, sensors, and switches; setting up communication systems such as radio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi; and implementing weatherproofing and robust packaging for electronics to enhance reliability.
We assist in tailoring off-the-shelf systems to specific processes, including automating tasks, improving safety, and creating custom software for data collection and reporting. While we strive to use off-the-shelf components to cut costs and risks, our team is also skilled in developing and utilizing complex assemblies for various applications. This includes integrating actuators (pneumatic, electromechanical, or hydraulic) and sensors into designs, as well as developing control software.
We create and deploy firmware, applications, and databases, integrating sensors, robotics controls, and IoT devices. This includes software or firmware in C/C++ or Python, computer and mobile applications using Flutter for data viewing and system control, robotics control solutions with MAVlink and ArduPilot, API integration with existing systems, and remote automated solutions that rely on sensor inputs, low data transfer rates, and reliable operation.
Incorporate user and customer input through User Stories, develop design attributes based on system requirements, and create a testing plan.
Develop multiple solutions (sketches and descriptions) to be reviewed with the client, select those for further prototyping, and create rough prototypes for feasibility testing and iteration based on system requirements.
Refine the prototype, test and adjust per system requirements, then begin production documentation. Review test data with the customer, deliver the prototype system with documentation, and explore manufacturing methods for a production plan.
Engage with suppliers, adjust the design for manufacturing, produce test articles, develop packaging solutions, complete production documentation, and review test data and costs with the client.
Kick off manufacturing, conduct initial production and testing, obtain client approval for full production, and begin customer shipments.
