Hardware Design

Hardware design is a critical component of industrial electronics design, and at MINDPLEX LABS, we offer comprehensive hardware design solutions to meet your industrial electronics design needs. Whether you are starting with an idea, a hand-sketched drawing, a full schematic or a proof of concept, our engineering team can join in at any stage and help you fast track your concept through to a finished product, ready for manufacture. 

Some of the key areas our hardware design team can help you with are:

• Product Requirements Review

• Mixed signal, multilayer board-level design

• System Design

• Schematic capture and layout

• Prototype and Proof-of-Concept

• Design for EMC and safety standards

• Low-power design

• Low-cost optimisation and Design for Manufacture

• Battery/power management design

• Electromechanical integration & Test Strategy

Once your design is ready, we can offer full support through to sub-contract manufacturing, giving you full control over your product in one place.

Software Design

MINDPLEX LABS have considerable experience developing the full software stack, and can work closely with you through all stages of development, liaising with external teams as required.

We use Subversion version control internally, and GitHub for projects that require external collaboration, although we are flexible and can use whatever tools you require. We are able to quickly bring up software simulations of functionality to help you make design decisions before hardware is manufactured.

We have experience in the following languages and technologies:

• Embedded firmware in C/C++, either Bare-Metal or with an RTOS.

• Embedded stacks for USB, TCP/IP, SSL/TLS.

• Windows/Linux software with C/C++, Qt, C#, Python and Delphi.

• Cloud technologies using HTML5/JS, Vue.js, PHP, and Azure.

• Databases, such as SQLite, MS SQL Server, MySQL.

• Single-board systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Tinkerboard.
