Rapid Prototyping & Proof of Concept
Before the big budget: a prototype that answers the question. We build proof-of-concept systems in weeks — electronics, firmware, sensors, mechanics and software working together well enough to convince physics, investors and your own roadmap.
Rapid builds
Proof-of-concept systems
The fastest honest answer to 'can this work?' — built, measured, documented.
Dev-platform bring-up
Raspberry Pi, STM32, ESP32, BeagleBone, Arduino, Jetson — the right shortcut for the phase.
Custom prototype boards
When off-the-shelf stops: quick-turn PCBs that bridge to the real product.
Demo & investor units
Prototypes that survive a live demo — enclosed, labeled, reliable for the meeting that matters.
Sensing & physical computing
Sensor integration
IMU, temperature, distance, force, chemical, vision — selected, calibrated, fused.
Data-acquisition rigs
Instrumented test setups that turn an argument into a graph.
Actuation
Motors, pumps, valves and drivers wired safely into the experiment.
Communications bring-up
Ethernet, WiFi, BLE, LoRa, cellular, Zigbee — connected from day one.
Mechanics & integration
3D-printed fixtures & enclosures
Functional mechanics around the electronics — fast iterations, real tolerances.
Test jigs
Repeatable experiments instead of taped-together miracles.
ROS prototypes
Robotic concepts assembled quickly on ROS/ROS 2 where it accelerates.
Pilot batches
From the one-off to the first 10–100 units, with lessons captured for production.
De-risking & direction
Feasibility studies
Physics, power, cost and regulatory checks before money is committed.
Architecture for the real product
The POC is designed so its lessons — and often its code — carry into production.
Spec & roadmap writing
Requirements documents your next phase (or next vendor) can actually build from.
Technology selection
Component and platform choices argued with numbers, not fashion.
Define the question
Every POC answers a specific risk — we write it down first.
Build fast
Weeks, not quarters: working hardware over polished slides.
Measure honestly
Real data against the acceptance criteria, failure modes included.
Decide & carry forward
Go/no-go with evidence — and a path from POC to product.
How fast is 'rapid'?
Typical POCs run 3–8 weeks depending on scope. We commit to a timeline at kickoff — speed is the point of this service.
Will the prototype code/design be reusable for the product?
We design POCs so their architecture and lessons carry forward. Some parts are deliberately quick-and-dirty — we'll always tell you which.
We're a startup before funding — how do you work with that?
Tightly scoped fixed milestones, honest feasibility advice (including 'don't build this'), and prototypes built to survive investor demos.
Can you continue from POC to the full product?
That's the model: the same team that built your POC carries it into board design, firmware, certification and production — no knowledge lost in handoff.
