ER&D · JDM · ODM · IOTA PaaS
Metal to cloud, under one roof.
The product engineering partner for hardware-led companies. From schematic to certified device. From pilot line to deployed fleet. One accountable team across electronics, firmware, industrial design, mechanical, compliance, and supply.
How we work
MODEL
Single accountable owner across electronics, firmware, industrial design, mechanical, testing, compliance, and pilot supply.
DEPTH
Real-world sensing, spatial intelligence, precision motion, wireless networks, IoT cloud, and the human–machine interface layered on top.
OUTPUT
Products that are finished, certified, connected, and manufacturable at pilot through to commercial scale.
ER&D Capability Stack
Eleven engineering disciplines, one workbench.
Six embedded blocks for what runs on the device; five realisation blocks for how it gets made. Every program draws from the same stack, in different combinations.
Embedded Blocks
- ULP
Ultra-Low Power
BMS architectures and energy-budget engineering for primary-cell and rechargeable devices.
- RF
Custom RF & Wireless
Spectrum-aware design across short-, mid- and long-range networks. Multi-protocol coexistence; pre-compliance through wireless certification. Counter-RF systems design.
- IOT
IoT Device & Cloud Infra
One stack from boot ROM to fleet dashboard. Provisioning, telemetry, OTA, and remote ops as one engineered system.
- MOT
Motion Control
Closed-loop actuation for ground, aerial and tabletop platforms. Drivetrains, gimbals, precision stages, and the safety harness.
- SEN
Sensing & Spatial
Real-world signal capture and scene understanding — single-point sensors to multi-sensor spatial systems and the perception stack they feed.
- ML
ML & Edge Intelligence
Perception, control and reinforcement pipelines that run on-device, edge or cloud. Production integration, not a notebook demo.
Realisation Blocks
- RP
Rapid Prototyping
Engineering thermoplastics, high-res photopolymer fabrication, composite parts; in-house sheet metal for aluminium and steel.
- EE
Electronics Workbench
Schematic, layout, signal integrity, power distribution, EMI/EMC pre-compliance, board bring-up — under one workbench.
- OPT
Optical & Precision Motion
Camera-pipeline integration, calibrated optical assemblies, and sub-millimetre motion subsystems for industrial and broadcast use.
- MFG
In-house Manufacturing
Premium end-to-end facility, 5,000 sq ft, Whitefield. SKD / CKD / FBU supply at pilot through commercial scale.
- SCM
Supply-Chain Engineering
East/West dual-redundant component sourcing, BOM forensics, cost-curve modelling, dual-source design, Make-in-India value-add — owned at the design stage.
How we engage
Plug in at the phase that fits the brief.
A stage-gated lifecycle that flexes across consumer, medical, industrial, robotics, broadcast, and regulated infrastructure programs.
Phase
Concept & Design Validation
Role · ER&D
Output
Locked architecture, costed bill-of-materials, working engineering sample.
Engagement
Front-loaded for green-field programs; mid-stage entry for re-platforms.
Value-added services
On-top capabilities a contract design house cannot offer.
LC-SoM
Cut 12–16 weeks off the device critical path.
A pre-validated IoT compute and connectivity module with SDK and reference firmware. Programs start at architecture, not at bring-up.
Programs in flight
- Toy SKU · BLE + IMU + audio
- Industrial sensor · LoRa uplink
- Wearable · UWB + 9-axis fusion
- Smart appliance · BLE + Wi-Fi 6
- Hand-held instrument · USB-C PD
- Edge gateway · BLE/Thread + 4G
IOTA PaaS
The fleet your OEM doesn't have a cloud team for.
Provisioning, telemetry, OTA, user and operator dashboards — delivered as a managed service directly to the deployed fleet, independent of the OEM's cloud team.
Fleet telemetry
OTA · provisioning · ops
Compliance
Certification closure, by design.
BIS, EMI/EMC, WPC, RoHS, EN71, child-data privacy, ISO 13485-ready quality, CE / FCC / CPC export-market closure — planned at the architecture stage, not after the bench.
Standards in scope
- BIS · IS 13252-1
- WPC · ETA-2019/865 MHz
- FCC · 47 CFR Part 15.247
- RoHS · EU 2015/863
- EN71-1/-2/-3 (toys)
- ISO 13485 quality system
Start a program at the phase that fits the brief.
Concept · prototype · pilot · fleet. We plug in where the brief needs us, and stay accountable through the next gate.
