End-to-end custom electronic design services: from prototyping to production

Design.

Developing custom solutions with a design-led approach. From component customisation to system integration, design is integrated into our solutions.

Using our unique mix of technological expertise, capabilities, and strategic partners, we’re able to design custom solutions for your electronic applications and tailored programmes to support their development.

Design thinking – a mindset perfect for custom solutions

While many businesses can claim to have design capabilities, we’re committed to going further by putting it at the centre of our approach. Design thinking is more than just a skill set, it’s a mindset.

We believe that developing a high-quality custom solution requires engineers to think about design across the lifecycle of a project. This ensures that we’re not only bringing together the right combination of technologies but the necessary capabilities to deliver an end-to-end solution.

Custom solutions

There are many forms a custom solution can take, and it’s not always a complete system integration.

At its simplest form, we can use our extensive knowledge and our strategic partners to identify a technology type, system, or a single component that perfectly meets the needs of a particular project. Where this is the case, we’ll design a programme to support you through the project lifecycle and guarantee its operational functionality. Using design to modify individual components allows our engineers to adjust the specifications of a technology. And where there isn’t a component that meets your needs, we can design a custom component that does.

It’s system integration where our engineers make the biggest impact – designing solutions that bring together multiple technologies and fitting them into your application.

Advanced technological capabilities

The design of custom solutions of any type requires the use of our advanced capabilities.

Alongside a comprehensive technical design skillset for any technology, our expertise and experience include the design of programmes that ensure your project’s objectives are achieved.

Any capabilities required to provide these programmes are delivered through our engineers based both in the field and within our technology centres – facilities we’re able to call on when access to state-of-the-art equipment is necessary. Ensuring we deliver an end-to-end solution covering prototyping, pre-production, manufacturing and upgrading. These comprehensive in-house solutions are supported by our ability to harness all of these elements. Alongside the expertise found within our strategic partners and combining them into the design process from the start of a project, to develop a fully customised design-led approach.
