Hardware Design

We believe that scaling modern hardware requires consolidating the entire hardware design process under one roof.

  • Part selection and schematics
  • Printed circuit board (PCB) layout
  • Firmware development
  • Enclosure design, prototyping, and manufacturing
  • Protocols
  • PCB Assembly from prototype to production

We take you step by step through concept, design, prototyping, testing, to full scale manufacturing. We translate these technicalities into a final product that combines user friendliness, clockwork precision, aesthetic appeal, and individual quality with cost effectiveness, consistency, and mass production capability.

Our Hardware Design Process

Schematics

We outline the circuitry, connections, and microcontrollers needed to complete your project in easy-to-understand schematics. We select parts that can support scaling the necessary requirements of your project into physical prototypes with capacities for substitution, adaptation, and opportunity for improvement.

PCB Layout and Routing

We place and route all electronic components, circuitry, and logic elements on your printed circuit board specified during the schematic process.

  • Optimal signal integrity
  • Heat dissipation
  • Design for Manufacturing (DFA)
  • Electronic Design Software mastery
  • Design for high level synthesis
  • Mathematical models and CAD software simulation
  • Analysis verification
  • Prototype manufacturing.
  • Compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) application specific standards.

Embedded Software and Firmware

  • Optimized firmware with critically defined time constraints
  • Real-time operating system (RTOS) focused firmware
  • Semi-custom Digital Signal Processors digitize, translate, and manipulate imperceptible sights, sounds, and environmental factors for display, control, and informed process programming. 
  • Custom firmware language requirements 
  • Proof-of-concept programming library
  • Quick turnaround on projects requiring bounded interrupt latency, strict priority rules, and optimal performance.  

Firmware

  • Custom, proprietary, or open-source firmware
  • Elegant device broadcast syncing
  • Situational layer-based processing standards
  • Input/output control
  • Synchronization of multiple network devices.  
  • Protocol reverse engineering
  • Full protocol stack integration
  • Multiple protocols in one solution

Applications

Agriculture

We put automation technology into farming. Fully autonomous seed planting, soil monitoring, crop harvesting and more.

Mining

We simplify safety and efficiency with fully automated mining equipment, remote control vehicles, and teleoperated equipment management.

Automotive

We provide interoperable upgrades to your assembly line, vehicle monitoring or tracking systems, driver assistance, or multimedia units. Adaptable for electric, hydrogen, and fossil fuels.

Industrial Automation

We build custom and semi custom hardware solutions capable of networking your machines, modernizing your production floor, and taking your prototype to mass production.

Our Single Source Guarantee: The Best Choice for Hardware

Communication

The most expensive mistakes happen in hardware miscommunication. We streamline the entire design process.

  • Schematic design to layout
  • Prototyping to manufacturing
  • Vertical communication and decision-making
  • Accelerated time to market
  • Designated project owners, so when you need to speak to the hardware designer or the electrical engineer, those people are the same points of contact throughout the whole product development.
  • We mitigate the risk of miscommunication and conflicts that can arise when working with multiple 3rd party teams

Engineering

Achieve faster results with a vertically integrated team of engineers and technicians.

  • Our close collaboration between hardware engineers, industrial designers, and manufacturing specialists means we cross-pollinate ideas, insights, and expertise.
  • Our vertically integrated staff backs a comprehensive perspective.
  • When you want optimal performance, power consumption, thermal management, and other critical parameters, you need a team that shares integration experience.

Accountability

Any energy not directed toward the purposeful improvement of your hardware is wasted time, effort, and money.

  • Prevent costly rework, design flaws, or delays in the design phase
  • Swift flaw detection
  • Real time error resolution
  • Adherence to uniform standards

IP Protection

Coordinating multiple parties, directing energy towards intellectual property protection across multiple contracts, and surrendering accountability opens your design to confusion for no long term gain.

  • Eliminate the costs you assume working with 3rd parties
  • Eliminate the costs of multiple supply chains and multiple lead times
  • Product to market speed five times faster than for one fifth of the cost
  • The agency to act with minimal correction, interoperation testing, and hands off improvement to your hardware design
