Capabilities
PCB layouts, integrated circuits, wireless communication and sensor design that power the “smarts” of today’s connected products.
Electronics are the heartbeat of modern product solutions. At i3, you will find a team of engineers who know what it takes to design the hardware behind the “smarts” of today’s smart devices. We turn concepts and requirements into fully functional electronic systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) and beyond.
Over the years, our electronics engineers have become experts at fitting components into tight spaces and squeezing every microamp from a system when needed. We develop solutions for your application using:
Our technology strategists help you identify the best operating system, components and hardware for your device. We strive to understand how your users will interact with your product in order to provide the best recommendation for your needs. We look at everything from microcontrollers to GUI frameworks to the IoT communication protocols needed to collect, store and analyze device data. Even if you are not sure what your product’s life-cycle plan is yet, we can discuss techniques that save costs down the road when your product is ready to grow.
With supply chain disruptions wreaking havoc, we move to order critical parts early and help you adapt existing designs to support alternate parts when necessary. Because balancing your ideal design with electrical costs can be intimidating, we provide a high-level BOM to help you make critical product decisions and course-correct if needed.
In modern electronics, having a remote connection to your product is vital and opens the door to greater business possibilities, from remote monitoring and data collection to maintaining product configurations, running system diagnostics, deploying remote software updates and more. Today’s electronics go beyond basic serial interface technologies, and our team is well versed in implementing the hardware and communication protocols that make the most sense for your product.
We leverage the requirements identified by our own mechanical, industrial and software engineers to deliver electronic designs that respect mechanical constraints. We work through a connected system architecture alongside your team and show you how to best leverage your connected electronics in your business, so you’re ready for launch and whatever the future may bring.
The faster a prototype can be developed, the sooner key decisions can be made. With our streamlined approach, activities such as circuit design, parts selection and writing firmware happen in parallel. Our Technology Lab is always fully stocked with the supplies needed to evaluate board designs and make quick modifications, and dedicated electrical technicians assemble, test and support the electrical engineering team’s efforts.
When it comes time to produce your electronics assemblies, i3’s partnership with Mectronx, a local PCB assembly house, helps you create a working model of a system faster than firms that may need to outsource the work to prove out your ideas.
