DEI Engineering

We have the experience, creativity and the skilled multidisciplinary team to take your idea from a concept to a product. Working closely with our client, and using a vigorous quality focused methodology the typical development process includes:

• Review requirements
• Feasibility analysis
• Look and feel concepts
• User experience – How the user will interact with the product
• Selection of optimal technologies
• Rapid prototyping
• Analysis – Cost, size, power, functionality trade-offs
• Product specification
• Detailed enclosure / plastic design
• Detailed electronic design
• Firmware / Software development
• Design for Manufacturing and Test review
• Prototyping – Alpha units
• Product verification
• Pilot build – Beta units
• Production test fixture
• Approvals
• Product validation
• Production

We know that a key aspect to success of any product is understanding how the product will be used and interacted with. To facilitate this, we provide:

• Conceptual Design—Early phase of the development process, in which the broad outlines of function and form are defined.
• User Interface (UI)—Detailed description / graphic model of how the user will operate the product.
• Industrial Design—The mechanical aspects of the product.

Hardware
We work closely with you through the development to ensure the embedded portion of your project performs as required and integrates with the rest of your design.

• Review and discuss your requirements.
• Proof of concept prototypes
• Major component selection. Component cost and board size estimates
• Detailed design specifications from you requirements
• Close liaison with your industrial designers
• Hardware design (schematics and parts list)
• PCB Design (layout)
• DFMT
• PCBA prototypes
• Bring up prototypes / support firmware integration
• On-going support (approvals, field test, production, etc)

PCB Design
It takes more to design high quality boards than simply knowing how to use CAD software. Our knowledge and experience of embedded systems, make us a great partner for PCB designs. We understand that you need to consider:

• Signal integrity
• Thermal management
• Manufacturability
• Testability
• Mechanical integration requirements
• Approvals requirements, such as clearance

Our experienced and knowledgeable engineers can help you with:

• Low level drivers
• Library Integration
• Firmware development (with and without RTOS)
• Firmware and hardware Integration
• Database interfaces
• GUIs
• Signal processing
• Algorithms
• Communications
• Installation programs

We use our full range of knowledge and skills to design, build and commission your system. This includes:

• System Architecture
• Electrical / Electronic Design
• Packaging / enclosure Design
• Assembly / Wiring
• Programming / Configuration
• Test
• Commissioning

Are you looking for a consultant? We provide expect consulting across our full range of expertise:
