Research & Development
Feasibility studies, proofs of concept and prototypes that answer the technical question before production money is spent.
- Feasibility & risk studies
- Proof-of-concept builds
- Test rigs & data collection
Services
Research and development, custom software, custom hardware and engineering consultation, from one team that designs both sides of the interface.
Services
Where would you like to start?
Each service stands on its own, and most projects use more than one. A prototype usually needs electronics, firmware and software together, and a consultation often turns into a research question worth answering properly.
Custom Software Design
Software built around your process or your device, not the other way round, and written so the next engineer can maintain it.
- Business & operations systems
- Integrations & data pipelines
- Device, desktop & web apps
Custom Hardware Design
Purpose-built electronics, from the first block diagram to a board that works in the field.
- Circuit & PCB design
- Sensors & data acquisition
- Embedded controllers & firmware
Engineering Consultation
An independent technical opinion before you commit a budget, or when a project is stuck.
- Design & code reviews
- Build-or-buy decisions
- Technology roadmaps
One team across the stack
Why one team for software and hardware
No finger-pointing at the interface
When the board, the firmware and the application are designed together, the problems that usually hide between suppliers get solved at the design stage.
Trade-offs made in the right place
Some problems are cheaper to solve in hardware, others in software. One team can choose honestly, because it builds both.
One set of documents
Schematics, firmware, software and test results are handed over together, under one version history, so whoever maintains the product next can follow it.
The path
The same five stages, whichever service you start with
- 01
Discovery
A free conversation about the problem, the constraints and what success looks like.
→ scope note - 02
Feasibility
Research, calculations and bench tests on the riskiest assumptions first.
→ feasibility report - 03
Design
Architecture, schematics, software design and a fixed plan for the build.
→ design package - 04
Prototype
Working hardware and software, tested against the requirements and revised until it passes.
→ tested prototype - 05
Hand-over
Everything you need to own it: source, design files, documentation and support.
→ full hand-over
Have a hard technical problem?
Describe it in a few sentences. An engineer, not a salesperson, will read it and reply, usually within two business days.
