01 · Requirements and feasibility
Define function, environment, power, interfaces, expected volumes and constraints. Agree scope before development.
One technical partner for electronics, PCB, firmware and software integration, with validation and production support tailored to the project.
Define function, environment, power, interfaces, expected volumes and constraints. Agree scope before development.
Allocate functions across hardware, firmware, software and external components. Verify the most uncertain parts first.
Schematics, PCB, components and code evolve together. Interfaces are tested as part of the system.
Check agreed requirements on the bench. Document issues and required revisions.
Support manufacturability, testability, BOM, documentation and supplier coordination within the agreed scope.
Source files and documentation defined in the engagement, support for subsequent stages and technical innovation analysis with your IP professional.
Scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria, milestones and responsibilities. Timing and cost depend on requirements and technical uncertainty: the first discussion establishes the information needed for a proposal.
SailSensor combines sensors, electronics, low-power firmware, mobile software and NMEA2000 integration. The published case shows how we approach a complete system.
