01 / OUR ENGINEERING PROCESSThe 6-Stage Lifecycle

How We Build.
From Discovery to Commercial Fleets.

A disciplined, end-to-end engineering methodology that eliminates multi-vendor chaos. Scroll to explore how mechanical, electronic, firmware, and cloud systems integrate through all six stages.

OUR PROCESS // STAGE 01Stage 01 // Discovery

01. Discover

Understand goals, requirements & user needs

Before writing code or starting CAD, we deeply analyze operational constraints, mechanical envelopes, commercial unit economics, and technology feasibility.

Core Engineering Activities:
System Requirements Definition (ERD) & operating environment envelope
Mechanical packaging constraints (dimensions, weight, thermal limits)
Target unit economics, Bill of Materials (BOM) budgeting & supply chain
User workflow mapping across physical and digital touchpoints
Outputs:ERD SpecificationConstraint MapBOM BudgetingTech Stack Matrix
Applied: Market Tray Research for AEEGZ
OUR PROCESS // STAGE 02Stage 02 // Architecture

02. Design

Conceptualize, engineer & validate the solution

We model native 3D CAD assemblies and multi-layer electronic schematics, validating thermal dissipation, ingress protection, and component clearances in simulation.

Core Engineering Activities:
3D mechanical CAD packaging in Autodesk Fusion 360 with structural ribs
Multi-layer PCB schematic design in KiCad with isolated ground planes
Precision O-ring sealing geometry (15–30% compression) for IP65 ingress
Passive thermal airflow channels and heat dissipation geometry
Outputs:Native 3D CAD & STEPKiCad SchematicsDFM AnalysisInitial BOM
Applied: USS2 Switcher 18 mm Cylindrical Sensor
OUR PROCESS // STAGE 03Stage 03 // Engineering

03. Develop

Build mechanical, electronic, software & integrations

We engineer deterministic embedded firmware, custom touchscreen interfaces, and cloud telemetry backends, synchronizing physical actuators with digital state machines.

Core Engineering Activities:
Embedded C++/RTOS firmware for STM32 and ESP32 microcontrollers
Touchscreen HMI development on DWIN DGUS over custom UART protocols
Dynamic UPI/QR payment pipelines with backend prefetching to cut wait time
Industrial communication bus integration (CAN bus, RS-485, UART, MQTT)
Outputs:PCB Gerber LayoutsFirmware BinariesDGUS HMI AssetsCloud Telemetry APIs
Applied: FreshPod DGUS Touchscreen & Payment Engine
OUR PROCESS // STAGE 04Stage 04 // Validation

04. Prototype

Prototype, test & iterate for performance and reliability

We assemble functional physical prototypes to stress-test fitment, thermal equilibrium, ingress protection, and vibration endurance under real operating loads.

Core Engineering Activities:
High-precision functional 3D printing and CNC stainless steel machining
Custom PCBA fabrication, component populating, and bench testing
IP65 ingress sealing validation and pressure/leakage testing
Harsh vibration testing ensuring component retention under vehicle loads
Outputs:Functional Prototypes (V1, V2)Ingress & Leak ReportsVibration Test LogsDFM Revision Logs
Applied: Secure Comms 25 mm Enclosure
OUR PROCESS // STAGE 05Stage 05 // Production

05. Manufacture

Support production, quality & supply chain

We bridge the gap from validated prototype to volume factory production, supplying comprehensive manufacturing drawing packages, tooling documentation, and QA jigs.

Core Engineering Activities:
Tooling design and mold qualification for injection-molded components
Sheet metal CNC bending documentation, bend deductions, and weld specs
Component sourcing, vendor qualification, and second-source mapping
Factory end-of-line QA/QC testing jig development and assembly guides
Outputs:2D Manufacturing DrawingsTooling Packages & DXFFull Production BOMFactory QA Checklists
Applied: Freshpod Manufacturing in Andhra Pradesh
OUR PROCESS // STAGE 06Stage 06 // Operations

06. Deploy & Support

Deploy in the field and support for long-term success

Product engineering doesn't end at factory shipment. We deploy fleets into commercial environments, monitor live heartbeats, and provide multi-year engineering support.

Core Engineering Activities:
Commercial field deployment and operator on-boarding
Over-the-air (OTA) remote firmware deployment pipeline
Real-time cloud fleet monitoring: heartbeats, error logging, revenue data
Long-term engineering support agreements (4 to 10 years) covering all subsystems
Outputs:Fleet Management DashboardRemote OTA PipelineField Troubleshooting Logs10-Year Support SLA
Applied: 190+ Machine Cloud Fleet Platform
