Hardware engineering

Once you have chosen the various electronic modules, sensors and energy sources for your product, all of them need to be integrated together.

Then you can check that they work well together and carry out the required operations.

This is the stage when hardware engineering comes into play.

It focuses on cost optimization, product quality improvement, and a contractual guarantee of service quality.

The Pentalog hardware engineering specialists will determine the critical aspects and innovative elements necessary for designing best-of-breed products with the appropriate hardware architecture.

Pentalog supports your teams in

  • Embedded system design

– Requirements: defining and drafting needs
– Architecture: choosing the right hardware architecture for a module or for the whole product
– Hardware design: proposing the chip design (ASIC/FPGA) for the pre-existing modules and sensors while dramatically reducing costs and complying with standards.

  • Hardware integration

The use of various electronic modules, sensors and energy sources, standard or non-standard, must go through an integration stage in order to validate their compatibilities and avoid edge effects.

Hardware Engineering

  • Product documentation

All throughout the product life cycle, from development to maintenance, various types of documentation need to be drafted: general specifications, technical specifications, user manuals, maintenance manuals, assembly instructions, catalogs, training documents, security instructions, configuration and installation manuals, etc.

  • Prototyping

Manufacturing a prototype is a necessary step in creating a product, to test its performance and design as well as to validate the manufacturing process. It also allows you to start the certification procedure. We can support you in creating virtual prototypes as well as manufacturing physical prototypes and testing them.

Great Digital Products Aren’t Created By AccidentPentagility Means IT Excellence at Speed

Creating great software starts with a team infrastructure that breaks down silos, anticipates risks and communicates openly.
As an IT outsourcing provider, Pentalog equips teams with modular rules and dashboards, to ramp up, scale and pivot quickly, with minimal friction, maximum support and costs you control.
We call this toolkit Pentagility, an agile governance methodology for building trusted client relationships.
  • Embedded system testing

Pentalog operates on a system based on product verification and validation (V&V):
– Verification: the product is in line with its definition
– Validation: the product fulfills the required needs

  • Our teams check products in several stages:

– Compatibility test for each function of the product
– Workload / robustness test
– Testing after software upgrade
– “Flashing” test (updating the product software by using a program created in-house and made available to the client)
– Translation test in all the languages used by the product
– Reporting and storing the results in the client’s database
– Qualisoft testing with a more detailed verification of all the features
– Competitor product testing
– Manufacturing the tested version and delivering it to the customer
– Maintenance test, validation of new software versions
