Embedded Hardware Design & Development Services

Upon project completion, the customer receives a fully functional device, a prototype or software, detailed technical documentation, source codes, and PCB design files in a CAD format. The customer will receive all the necessary instructions on how to use the product. We will also answer any questions and provide training if necessary.

Yes, we carefully select materials and components, trying to find a balance between their quality and price with consideration to the project requirements. All materials we use comply with the EN, IPC, and RoHS international standards. If required, we will use components that comply with the national regulations of your country.

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

If you want to test the idea on a proof-of-concept prototype before creating a fully functional solution, we can help. We create prototypes using DevKit devices and other methods to check your concept.

To make the process twice as fast, we can build hardware and software simultaneously. This will involve the use of Development Kits for programming modules. As a result, you will get a prototype of your embedded system and can evaluate technical risks that might come up when creating a fully-fledged custom solution.

We start with defining the requirements – both functional and non-functional – choosing hardware components, and designing the system architecture. After that, we take the following steps:

• Schematic design
• PCB layout
• Generating files for PCB manufacturers
• Prototype PCB assembly
• Hardware testing
• Debugging
• Certification
• Preparation for manufacturing

Our hardware development teams possess skills in a wide range of disciplines, including radio electronics, physics, and circuitry. We’re experts in the design and assembly of complex electronic devices and have certified specialists.

We work with microprocessors and microcontrollers provided by the following vendors:

• Atmel (Microchip Technology)
• Nordic Semiconductor
• STMicroelectronics
• Microchip Technology
• Silicon Labs
• Espressif Systems
• NXP Semiconductors
• Cypress Semiconductor
• Freescale Semiconductor (NXP Semiconductors)
• Renesas Electronics
• Texas Instruments
• Infineon
• MediaTek
• Allwinner Technology

The team is skilled in a variety of tools for PCB design, including Altium Designer, Eagle Cad, Cadence Allegro, OrCad, and KiCad. For FPGA design, we use Vivado, Quartus, Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCad. Our preferred tool is Altium Designer. It's one of the best CAD design instruments that offers comprehensive capabilities for PCB design tasks.

We’ve designed a wide range of embedded systems, including consumer electronic devices such as a battery management system, a telecommunications device for blocking fraudulent calls, an autonomous robotic lawn mower, a control panel for a smart home automation system, and a lot of others. You can see the full list of our projects in the “Projects” section.

We provide quality control at all stages of product development – at PCB design and assembly, when assembling modules, or when creating firmware and applications. If necessary, we develop software for testing standalone modules and the whole product. Finished devices are tested many times. We will also carry out additional tests at the customer's request.

We pay great attention to the quality of our work. The customer receives a fully functional device or software and a detailed user manual. After finishing the project, we provide a free warranty period, during which the team will eliminate any discovered defects and bugs. During the post-warranty period, we can also provide advice on possible modernization and modification of your product.

If the project requires certification, we take this into account at the earliest stages of product development. We prepare documentation for mandatory and voluntary certification in Europe, the USA (FCC, CE, UL, RoHS, and REACH), and other countries.

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Integra Sources has long-lasting and successful relationships with trusted enclosure designers. We will provide consultation and help you place an order. If necessary, we can make minor modifications on-site. During the development process, we keep in touch with the industrial design studio to ensure that the enclosure and the board match each other.

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
