7 Stages of Electronic Product Development

The process of designing, developing, and manufacturing electronic hardware is referred to as Electronic Product Development. Electronic products require PCBs (Printed circuit boards) and semiconductors, which is why manufacturing these products is very complex, as these components take time to develop.

Electronic Product Development is a rocky process and requires multiple changes to be done throughout the electronic product design process depending upon the complexity of electronic hardware design and the abilities of the designing team.

To deal with such complex designs and tackle the problems arising during the electronic product design process, MLWorkx offers professional assistance and high-quality solutions tailored to your specific requirements. There are various stages in the Product development lifecycle and MLWorkx provides a wide range of services including complete electronics product design, PCB design, and manufacturing throughout the process.

There are seven Product development stages, let’s discuss these stages.

7 Stages of Electronic Product Development

Ideation

As we know every discovery or innovation stems from an idea, in the same way, the first stage of Electronic Product Development is also the generation of ideas. It is important to explore the market to recognize the needs of the customer and offer them a solution. For this, you need to generate an idea of how your product or service could solve it.

Product Definition

This stage involves planning the features and functionality of the product. In this stage, the developer decides what would be the feature, the components required, specifications, cost margin, warehousing, and all the other aspects required to be considered for the development of the product.

Architecture

This stage focuses on creating a Proof of Concept (PoC). A Proof of Concept is basically a prototype that does not actually resemble the final product in looks or design but shares similar features and functions, it focuses on developing the core functionality of the electronic product. With the team of experts in MLWorkx, this process becomes very smooth and their advanced prototyping skills are just what you need.

Design

At this stage, the developers after developing the software focus on designing the circuits required in the electronic product. As discussed earlier the circuit designing of the electronic product is highly complex and requires frequent changes over the development period, MLWorkx with their in-house product designing, product engineering, tooling, and moulding facilities help in breaking down this complex process into relatively simpler parts and make it easy to follow the process.

Evaluating and Debugging

After designing the product and assembling its circuit, it’s not guaranteed that it will work on the very first try, so to ensure it’s working before launching the final prototype it is required to test and evaluate the working of its PCBs and identify the bugs and fix them. MLWorkx provides the facility of Pre-production and testing to help with the process of evaluation and debugging.

Prototyping

We have already developed a prototype of its circuit and tested it, now it is time to assemble the hardware and software by creating a 3D model and create a prototype of the product and evaluate it. MLWorkx as the leading provider of Prototyping services is the best partner to create, test and finalize your prototype.

Launch

Once you have developed a final prototype and evaluated it, it is time to finally start the mass production of the product and launch it in the market. But producing such complex products in large quality can be a tedious job, MLWorkx with its cutting-edge technology and clear division of work among labor make it a smooth sailing task for its clients.

Electronic Product Development is a rocky process and requires multiple changes to be done throughout the process. It is highly complex and requires great expertise. MLWorkx partners with customers, assisting them throughout the process and providing expert support and guidance every step of the way. It also provides services ranging from product designing to mass production to help its clients realise their innovative ideas and transform them into their dream products ready to be sold in the market.
