Product Development | Murray International Consultants
Murray International Consultants (MIC) can develop both hardware and software prototypes to meet your individual needs and requirements. Whether you require a proof-of-concept to secure grants, funding or investment, or you need a demonstration model created to test a new or existing market we can help. MIC can also develop single or multiple prototypes for field testing or product launches.
Our areas of focus and expertise include:
- Electronics design and PCB layout
- Selection and use of off-the-shelf development platforms
- Embedded software
- Wireless communications and Internet of Things (IoT) systems development
- Imaging and camera systems development
- Harsh environment packaging for electronics
- Sensor specification and design
- Product tear-down and analysis
During the product development cycle detailed plans are required. These include timescales for manufacturing, testing and certification, pricing, sales and distribution strategy and launch plans. MIC can manage these processes with, or for the client. MIC can also undertake technical testing and analysis of new developments or competitors’ products.
MIC have extensive experience working with forensic investigators and loss adjusters to provide specialised support and assistance. We can support the investigation of fires, explosions, engineering failures, product compliance and other incidents in which electronic systems are thought to be a contributing factor.
As time goes by in the product development process it becomes increasingly difficult to make changes without incurring greater costs. However, MIC can review a product development, or redevelopment, at any point from the concept stage onwards.
This enables us to technically assess opportunities so that we can:
- Reduce the cost of the electronic components
- Enhance performance or flexibility
- Reduce the physical size or complexity of a system through improved integration
- Highlight potential risks, such as obsolescence issues and component supply issues
Finding the right technology to solve a problem can be challenging. What may seem like the obvious choice now, may not be the correct choice when you launch a product. MIC is up to speed with all the latest electronic technologies and emerging technologies. We also have processes in place to effectively respond and adapt to any product development issues which may arise.
