Hi-Tech

A Shorter Distance From Design to Delivered Product

We link engineering, manufacturing and service data for electronics, semiconductor and network equipment companies, so that problems are found early and new products reach the market sooner.

Our Point of View

In hi-tech, a defect or shortage usually shows in the data before it reaches a customer. Linking engineering, production and field records means it is seen in time.

The Situation

Hi-tech companies compete on speed and precision, with short product cycles and supply chains that span many countries. A single shortage or quality problem can reach customers quickly, and its cause may lie several stages earlier. Linking the records held by engineering, manufacturing and service brings that cause into view while there is still time to act.

Our Approach

We trace your most expensive recent delay to where it really began, and link the data that reveals it. Firmware, software and test engineering capacity joins your team at the pace of your release cycle, and production and field data help find the cause of defects sooner. Service teams then receive the device history, parts and guidance they need to resolve faults first time.

What We Deliver

From Design to Field Service

  • Product Engineering

    Firmware, software and test engineering capacity is added while your release cycle keeps its pace.

  • Supply Chain Resilience

    Component risk is seen early, and alternatives are modelled before a shortage stops production.

  • Connected Devices

    Device software and cloud services keep products updated and useful after they are sold.

  • Quality and Yield

    Production and field data are used to find the cause of defects sooner.

  • Service and Support

    Service teams receive the device history, parts and guidance they need to resolve faults first time.

Expected Outcomes

What Leadership Should Expect to See

  • Component Risk Seen in Good Time

    Component risk becomes visible early, and alternatives can be modelled before a shortage stops production or a delivery date moves.

  • Defect Causes Found Sooner

    Production and field data are read together, so that the cause of a defect is established before the problem spreads to more customers.

  • Service That Resolves Faults First Time

    Service teams hold the device history, parts and guidance they need, which turns after-sales support into an advantage.

Frequently Asked

Questions From Prospective Clients

Can You Add Firmware and Test Engineering Capacity Without Slowing Our Release Cycle?
Yes, we join your team on a defined piece of the roadmap, working in your repositories and under your standards. We use your tools and join your reviews, so the work returns to your engineers ready to continue. Automated tests and deployment come with what we build, and your first feature ships with our team within four weeks of an eight-week engagement.
Who Owns the Firmware and Device Software Your Engineers Write?
You do, and the contract states this before work begins. The code sits in your repositories from the first commit, and everything we build is documented and reviewed by your engineers, so the knowledge remains with your team as well as the code. You can continue independently whenever you choose, because the exit is planned from the start of the engagement.
Do You Build the Cloud Services Behind Our Connected Devices as Well as the Device Software?
Yes, we develop firmware, device software and the cloud services that connected products rely on, which keeps products updated and useful after they are sold. Infrastructure is defined in code, so that it can be reviewed and rebuilt, and monitoring reports a problem before a customer does. A monthly view also shows cost by service and owner, so the running cost of each service remains visible.
Can Production and Field Data Be Linked to Find the Cause of a Defect?
Yes, once each figure has a written definition that production, engineering and service have agreed. The data is then pulled from your existing systems into one place and refreshed on a schedule, so that each defect is counted one way. We work with the data as it stands and show you clearly which figures are ready to use, so that leadership knows which to rely upon.
Can Component Risk Be Modelled Before a Shortage Stops Production?
Yes, seeing component risk early and modelling alternatives is the purpose of this work. Orders, vendors and inventory data are drawn into one view, so that a problem is visible before it spreads, and an alert notifies the responsible person when a figure moves past a line you set. We begin by tracing the delay that cost you most last year to where it really started.
What Would a Service Engineer See About a Device in the Field?
A service engineer would see the device history, parts and guidance needed to resolve the fault first time. Answers can be drawn from your own policies and records, with the source shown so that your teams can verify them. A person reviews the work wherever an error carries cost, and access levels reflect who does what, so that field teams see what their role requires.
