The Transition from Prototype to Production

The transition to manufacturing is where most hardware projects stall. We stay involved through every step of it — from the first DFM review to steady-state production.

DFM Analysis

The design is evaluated according to production and assembling limits before the launch, enabling the discovery of expensive mistakes at the very point of commissioning.

The selection of suppliers

Partners in production and assembling have been selected according to your target quantity and quality levels, as well as timeframes.

Sourcing the components

Cost-effective, quality components were sourced with alternatives identified to reduce the risks associated with exclusive sourcing.

Support during the production process

The process is supervised during the first production stages and solving assembly problems is achieved before they become large-scale recalls.

Quality assurance

All batches are controlled according to the original design specification with document records elaborated for each quality stage.

KNOW THE BASICS

What Does Hardware Development Mean?

The term hardware development refers to a process that includes all aspects of engineering and planning the product’s hardware parts and electronic machine. For example, it might include circuit design, power supply design, sensors, and other processes important for making electronic devices.

Stages of Hardware Development
  • Development of circuit design and schematics
  • PCB design (circuit route design)
  • Selection and procurement of components
  • Design of power supply and battery systems
  • Interfacing with sensors and other hardware
  • Prototyping and testing
  • The preparation of engineering documents
Importance of Hardware Development for Your Product
  • By defining the reliability of the product in real-life situations
  • By setting the upper limit for costs of products
  • By determining whether firmware can be executed on the hardware
  • By defining the certification requirements
  • By being a significantly cheaper option than making any changes after production is started
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear on every hardware scoping call.

How does the hardware development process work?

This is an all-inclusive process of going through the entire life cycle of the creation of a physical part of the electronic product.

What does the PCB design process involve?

In PCB design, the process is made up of several stages, including schematic capture, positioning of pieces as well as making a number of checks for the signal, correct functioning, and proper layout.

How long does it take to create a new hardware device?

For a simple device, which is single board, it normally takes approximately six to ten weeks since the design was created until it had become a working prototype.

Can Rhosigma create a prototype?

Yes, the team of experts from Rhosigma can develop and validate prototypes.

Does Rhosigma help with manufacturing after hardware design is complete?

Yes. Our manufacturing support includes DFM analysis, vendor selection, component sourcing, production oversight, and quality validation, so your design transitions cleanly from prototype to production.
