Hardware and Device Design

Ubikon designs, develops, and delivers turn-key solutions for your embedded device needs. We specialize in developing cost-efficient and performance-optimized Embedded HW solutions that can be used in a seamlessly functioning end-to-end system. Together with customer stakeholders, our experts analyze the use cases and design the most suitable software and hardware to meet your current and future requirements.

Modular and Customized

From Proof-of-Concept (PoC) prototypes to mass manufacturing of millions of units, we pragmatically either use readily available software and hardware modules or produce a completely original design – whatever is needed to fit our customers’ needs, with full transparency of the costs of different alternatives.

Our experts can future-proof the design to be re-usable and expandable, optimizing the Bill of Materials (BOM) while leaving room for new use cases and applications. We constantly follow the current state of Embedded SW and HW and are not limited to specific HW or SW vendors when constructing your system.

Product Concepting

During the product concepting phase, a business case is turned into requirements for the entire system.

Typical hardware and design deliverables of a product concepting phase are:

  • Key HW component evaluation and selection
  • Functional prototypes
  • Relevant SW and drivers
  • Power and battery management design
  • Preliminary component placement and PCB size estimation
  • PCB design
  • Antenna design
  • Component sourcing
  • Industrial design direction
  • Material selections
  • 3D prints of design
  • Tooling strategy
  • Mechanical construction concept
  • BOM cost estimation
  • Full prototype quality system for testing and demonstration

Turn-Key Delivery

With our in-house capability combined and partner network, we deliver full embedded solutions – from cloud service to hardware as a sole supplier. We perform all the necessary design, implementation, productization, quality assurance, manufacturer management, measurements and global certification handling to bring your product from your imagination into the physical world.

Throughout the process, we offer full transparency on the progress, roadmap, expected schedule and available options.
