Connected Devices & IoT
The whole device. Working together.
Connect electronics, interaction, power and enclosure fit before they become separate build problems.
Explore the engineering
Typical starting points
Find the context closest to your brief.
Gateways & sensors
Connected nodes, monitoring devices and gateways.
Interactive devices
Service buttons, controls and user-facing hardware.
Connected products
Physical products with electronics and a communication link.
DFM & integration
A device is more than its board.
01Interaction & feedback
Clarify what a user does, what the device reports, and how the next sample will be checked.
02Power & connectivity
Bring power use, charging, communication and antenna constraints to the appointed engineers.
03Board & enclosure
Review controls, connectors, keep-outs and assembly access together.
04Build & test
Match the firmware version, hardware revision and test method used for each sample.
Useful work, visible outputs
Know what comes back.
Agree the deliverables for your project.
Device brief
Functions, interfaces and open technical questions.
Fit review
Board, controls, connectors and housing relationships.
Sample check
Observed behavior against an agreed version.
Next-build list
Changes and decisions for the next sample.
Where are you now?
Bring the expected device behavior, current files or sample, and any app or firmware interfaces.
Manufacture & Deliver
Board builds, enclosure assembly, and agreed functional checks for connected-device production.
