There is a long way between an innovative product idea and a market-ready product. An electronic product, with its circuitry, peripherals, power supply, display and enclosure is a complex machine. Unlike software platforms, where interim versions are easier to produce, test and deploy into production systems, an electronic device needs to be thoroughly designed, tested and proved before being put into manufacturing and market.
This makes prototyping and testing of your product for the intended use is very critical. It has to go through design, engineering, then prototyping and finally manufacturing. While designing any new electronic product, simulation and design on EDA software can be quite useful. It is not easy for a startup company to acquire the tools necessary for doing this, as most of the industry grade software used for this purpose are highly expensive.
Incubation Centre IIT Patna has set up a state of the art design laboratory where these facilities are available to an incubated startups. In certain conditions, verification in real world becomes necessary. Performing electronic prototyping got several advantages because it allows to validate electronic hardware for
- Components compatibility between each other so as to ensure that the PCBA will work properly.
- Engineering of the board: As components being tested in real situation, it allows us to determinate if the board is designed to specification and how it will operate in situations similar to actual use.
- Pre-certify the board: As our PCBA is assembled and almost as similar than your future production one, we can perform pre-certification with our PCBA prototype against different standard.
- Validate mechanical constraints like Spacing and interference
- Validate thermal constraints like Heat dissipation
Incubation Centre IIT Patna has set up prototyping and testing laboratories with state of the art equipment for PCBA and final product creation.
