Products and Services

• Digital transformation: Enable digital transformation for businesses and improve user experiences by connecting devices to mobile phones and the cloud with custom antenna design, RF circuitry, communication protocols, data handling, and architecture.
• Custom embedded system design: Develop electrical circuits and PCB/FPC layouts, as well as full-stack embedded firmware to make smart products a reality. This includes ultra-low-power management for battery-powered devices, custom sensing and actuation, embedded algorithms, digital security, and communications.
• User-centered design: Expand functionality and usability to reach a broader market by combining user-centered design with novel technologies such as gesture recognition and miniaturization.
• Manufacturing and prototyping: Design products with cost, manufacturability, and automation in mind from the start. Prototype manufacturing processes in in-house build labs to ramp up mass production efficiently, meet specifications, and ensure a smooth transfer to the CM.
• Optimized packaging: Fit an impressive amount of technology into iconic industrial designs by collaborating across electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing disciplines to minimize power consumption and simplify parts for optimized packaging.
• User interface enhancement: Close the gap between the physical and digital worlds for users with accessible voice, audio, haptics, actuation, gesture recognition, environmental sensing, and more.
• Intelligent robotics: Create and enable custom intelligent robotics through the design of mechanisms, mechatronics, sensing, and control systems. Design and realize novel automation systems optimized for their application.
• Product reliability: Maximize the reliability and useful life of products by engineering for waterproofing, impact resistance, cyclic fatigue, and other environmental hazards. Design for repair, refurbishment, and remanufacturing to increase the useful life of the product.
• Data and insights: Provide value to users by gathering difficult-to-obtain data from the physical world through custom sensing, then turning that data into insights via custom algorithms and AI at the edge and/or in the cloud.
• Sustainability: Minimize the climate impact of products while also gaining benefits for users and driving profitability by assessing and improving the holistic carbon footprint throughout the development process, from architecture through manufacturing.
