Product development
Product definition and development for new ideas or existing products that need a rethink. This includes feasibility studies, requirements, system architecture, prototyping, validation and preparation for production.

Capabilities
Across disciplines.
From the whole product to the engineering detail.
Practical design and development across hardware, software and systems. Projects can focus on a specific design, an application or a prototype, or combine disciplines within a wider development package.
Plan & deliver
Technical direction and practical delivery, from feasibility to an integrated product.
Engineering project management
Technical project planning and management for new developments or projects that need bringing back on track. Scope includes work packages, schedules, resources, costs, supplier coordination, technical risks and progress reporting.
Systems engineering & integration
System architecture and integration across electronics, firmware, software and mechanics. Capabilities include requirements, interface definitions, integration testing and investigation of problems where individual parts work but the complete system does not.
Design & build
Hardware, software and physical prototyping for new designs and existing products.
Electronics design
Circuit design, component selection and PCB layout for sensing, control and embedded products. Support includes design reviews, changes to existing boards and investigation of component or interface issues.
Electronics prototyping
Prototype assembly, board bring-up and rework, including power, signal and interface checks. Bench investigation covers power-up failures, unstable signals, intermittent faults and unexpected behaviour.
Firmware & embedded software
Embedded firmware for hardware control, sensor interfaces, data logging and communications. Capabilities include new development, existing-code changes, debugging, timing issues, fault handling and hardware/software integration.
Desktop & web software
Desktop applications, web-based tools and engineering interfaces for equipment control, data collection, analysis and reporting. Bespoke software can also support business workflows and connections between existing systems.
iPhone & iPad applications
iPhone and iPad applications for connected devices, field data capture and day-to-day workflows. Support covers application development, device communication, data presentation and changes to existing apps.
CAD & physical prototyping
CAD models and 3D-printed prototypes for enclosures, brackets, fixtures and other product parts. Physical prototypes support fit, access and assembly checks before committing to a production design.
Sense, test & refine
Imaging, sensing, embedded processing and testing for real operating conditions.
Machine vision, optics & sensing
Camera, lens, illumination and sensor integration for inspection, measurement and imaging. Capabilities include component selection, bench evaluation and investigation of focus, lighting or image-quality problems.
Edge AI & embedded computing
Embedded computing and local AI inference for products that need processing at the device. Feasibility studies, hardware selection and model integration help assess accuracy, response time, power use and thermal requirements.
Testing, validation & fault-finding
Test methods, fixtures and measurement tools for prototype validation, design changes and fault investigation. Capabilities include testing against requirements, performance measurements and root-cause analysis of intermittent or persistent failures.
Rugged & harsh-environment products
Product engineering for demanding conditions, including water ingress, temperature extremes and vibration. Work can cover enclosure and connector selection, sealing, materials, thermal behaviour and environmental validation planning.
Your project may span several of these areas or involve something different. An outline of what you’re trying to achieve is enough to start a conversation.
