Adapticom provides clients seeking to develop new
products with services covering all aspects of new product development,
starting with either writing a product specification document, or the
initial electrical design.
Electrical designs can be done in the clients choice of CAD packages
(Viewlogic and Orcad are favored products) in either a flat or
hierarchical
configuration.
New Product Development - Design For Security
Adapticom implements
DFS
(Design For Security) measures early in the
design cycle with the implementation of highly integrated digital,
analog,
and hybrid devices.
Adapticom has particular expertise in the protection of IP with the
utilization of of secure programmable logic, along with the
implementation
of countermeasures to mitigate attack attempts by
Class I, II, & III attackers.
Adapticom has a long design history with all types of
programmable logic, including FPGAs, PALs, and Flash based
microcontrollers.
Programmable logic designs can be done in the clients choice of CAD
packages (Viewlogic and Orcad are favored products) in either a flat or
hierarchical
configuration with a mix of VHDL, Verilog, and/or schematic based
modules.
Raw PCB layout can also be done in the clients choice of
CAD packages (Cadence products Orcad & Allegro, along with PADs
preferred). Prototype quantities of
the raw card can be procured in just a few days, with working
prototypes, either hand built or autoplaced, available within the week.
Prototype quantities for the new product development can
be in quantities as low as one or two to hundreds. Once we get
your volume in the thousands, we help you select a contract
manufacturer that fits your needs.
While the electrical design is ongoing, we can also help
with your mechanical design and packaging requirements. We have
numerous overseas contacts
for economical plastic injection moldings.
No product is ever successful without careful attention
to cost. We analyze the entire bill of materials and starting
with the most expensive
components, work diligently to negotiate ever lower prices. We
specialize in finding equivalent alternatives in Asia and negotiating
aggressive
pricing.
Prior to volume production, we analyze your target
markets and determine the certifications required for sales in those
countries and then
guide your product through the maze of certification labs and
requirements. Our experience in this area can amount to
significant dollar
savings, allowing you to put your funding to work in other product
development areas.
There are many Contract Manufacturers available, both on
the North American continent and overseas. It is important to
match your volume and
other specific needs to the right type of manufacturer. Adapticom
can help with this by assisting in drawing up a thorough RFQ and
interviewing
and visiting each prospective manufacturer.
Once your volume manufacturer has been selected, we meet
with them as required, ensure a smooth ramp up and handle any of the
inevitable engineering
issues as they arise.
Once the product enjoys smooth production we work with
sales and production figures to determine what levels of further
integration can result in
a more economical product. We attempt to sweep everything
feasible into either FPGA's or custom ASIC's, depending on the
product's volume.
We organize all our BOM documentation, part numbers,
schematics etc., for possible design re-use for follow-on or related
products.
During the entire process, we use Adapticom's IT
resources to provide version control and design archival through a
password protected, web based,
product specific web site.
