Design & Development
In today’s world of Smart products, the complexity is increasing day by day due to reduced form factor and sophisticated functionalities included into the products. Most of these products are now microcontroller/microprocessor/FPGA based with high speed wired and wireless communication capabilities. It also includes interfaces for analog input sensors like temperature, pressure and motion sensors. This calls for product development team to have knowledge of electronics with high speed digital and analog processing with Bare-metal, RTOS or OS based embedded software performing logic operations and calculations for inputs from analog sensors. Mechanical engineering is another important aspect of product engineering playing major role in reducing form factor but maintaining ease in usability of the products. We are ready with such a mixed experienced team of hardware, mechanical and software development and ready reusable hardware platforms/software libraries for faster turnaround.
We provide end to end services for development of electronics products from conceptualization to manufacturing.
