Ten steps in the hardware development process
Developing a hardware system for an IoT application can feel like a daunting challenge. While IoT products rely on software, firmware, and hardware, it’s important to note that approximately 80% of the cost and complexity comes from the hardware component alone. Here’s a streamlined approach to guide you through the ten key steps:
1- Conduct product research and build your team
Start by researching your market and identifying user needs. Assemble a skilled team that brings together diverse expertise to tackle the project effectively.
2- Map out a preliminary hardware design
Create an initial design drawing that outlines the key features and characteristics of your hardware. This step will help you visualize your concept before diving deeper.
3- Design the schematic circuit diagram
Develop a schematic that illustrates how the various components of your hardware will connect and interact. This diagram is crucial in guiding subsequent design.
4- Design mechanical and industrial components
Focus on the physical aspects of your product, including size, shape, and materials. Make sure the design meets both aesthetic and functional requirements.
5- Design the printed circuit board (PCB)
Create the PCB layout, which will house and connect the electronic components of your device. A well-designed circuit board is essential for reliable performance.
6- Generate the final bill of materials (BoM)
Compile a comprehensive list of all components needed for manufacturing. This BoM helps streamline the procurement process and keep your project on track.
7- Get started with the prototyping process
Build a prototype to test your design in real-world conditions. This step is crucial to identify any potential issues before full-scale production begins.
8- Design for manufacturing and assembly
Adjust your design to optimize it for manufacturing and assembly. This ensures that your product can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively.
9- Get started making the hardware
Begin the manufacturing process, coordinating closely with your team to ensure quality and compliance with your specifications.
10- Conduct review for process verification
Finally, review the entire process to verify that everything meets your standards. This step helps ensure that the final product is reliable and ready for the market.
Ways to Choose the Best Design for Your IoT Project: A Hardware Design Guide
IoT devices are highly specialized and unique. They are designed to operate within niche environments. Naturally, the hardware options would also reflect the uniqueness of the IoT devices. So, what are the main IoT hardware requirements during the development process? What key points must one remember? Let us find out:
1. Security
Your IoT device needs to be secure. Keeping data safe and secure is a top priority, even when you’re just starting to build it. This means not only securing the device itself, but also ensuring that your communication networks and any apps or cloud services are secure as well.
2. Power requirements
Consider how your device will get its power. Does it need to be plugged in or can it run on batteries? If you’re using batteries, consider their size, weight, and how long they’ll last. Also, make sure you know how often you’ll need to charge them.
3. Easy to develop
You want your IoT device to be easy to build and quick to get started. It should capture data smoothly, talk to other devices without any problems, and be easy for users to work with. If the hardware design is too complicated, it can cause problems down the road.
4. Connection
Think about how your device will connect to the internet or other devices. How far does the signal need to reach and how much data does it need to send? Make sure your design allows for some flexibility, so that it can maintain a connection even if there are problems.
5. Data management
Your IoT device should be good at collecting and managing data. Think about how many sensors you will use, how detailed the information needs to be, and how often it will take measurements. Also, plan how much data it will need to store based on how often it will send information to the cloud.
Mechanical Design Engineering Services
We offer complete mechanical design services that include the entire product development lifecycle.
Industrial design:
At this stage, our industrial designers will transform your ideas into initial sketches to visualize what the final product might look like. They will ensure that the product functions well and looks good. This fundamental stage sets the tone for the rest of the design process.
Using advanced 3D CAD design solutions, we create detailed digital models that provide a true visualization of your final product.
Simulation and analysis:
We use advanced simulation and analysis techniques to validate designs before production.
3D printed prototype:
3D printed prototypes play a crucial role in our design workflow. We validate the form, fit and function of your product by creating physical prototypes.
2D detailed drawing:
After the successful validation of the 3D CAD models and prototypes, we create detailed 2D drawings that emphasize the importance of tolerances in the manufacturing process.
Tool development:
Our engineers modify existing CAD models from the prototype stage to facilitate tool development. We ensure optimization of designs for manufacturability by applying DFM (Design for Manufacturing) principles.
Mass production readiness:
By pre-testing CAD drawings and models, we help manufacturers initiate error-free mass production with ease.
