From idea to series production

About the service
A device
made to measure

RED BEAGLE develops electronics: we design and build electronic devices to the client's specification — from the first schematic, through the printed circuit board and firmware, to the prototype and series production.

Alongside the device itself we develop the software that works with it: programs for communicating with the electronics, reading sensors and meters, and displaying data where it is needed.

What we do
Areas of development
01
Schematic design
From requirements to the electrical schematic: selection of components, power supply, protection and interfaces to the rest of the system.
  • Requirements analysis and architecture selection
  • Selection of components and suppliers
  • Electrical schematic and bill of materials
02
Printed circuit board design
Design of multilayer printed circuit boards in Altium Designer, with documentation ready for manufacturing.
  • Multilayer boards
  • Preparation of manufacturing documentation
  • Design for series production
03
Firmware
The program that runs the device: control, measurement and communication with its surroundings.
  • Firmware for microcontrollers
  • Communication protocols
  • Testing and maintenance
04
Prototypes
Building and bringing up the first units, so the solution can be verified before investing in a series.
  • Prototype build
  • Bring-up and measurements
  • Corrections before the series
05
Small and large series
Organising production in the volume the client needs, from a few units to large quantities.
  • Procurement of components
  • Board assembly and soldering
  • Final testing
06
Software for working with devices
Custom software that communicates with the electronics, reads devices and displays or processes data.
  • Reading sensors and meters
  • Displaying data on a screen in the plant
  • Processing and reports

From practice
Examples of solutions
Industry
Reading sensors on an industrial computer
Software that reads sensors and measuring devices in a production plant over the Modbus TCP protocol and shows the values on the screen of an industrial computer, running without keyboard and mouse.
Buildings — in development
Reading heat meters and water meters
A system that reads heat meters and water meters in a residential building over a wired M-Bus network and calculates consumption per user from the readings.
How we work
Development process
01
Requirements
Together we define what the device must do, under what conditions it operates, how it is powered and what it connects to. The scope of work is agreed on that basis.
02
Schematic and board
We draw the electrical schematic and design the printed circuit board in Altium Designer, including the selection of components and preparation of documentation for manufacturing.
03
Prototype
The first unit is built, brought up and tested to check that it works as required. Any changes found necessary are made before the next step.
04
Firmware and software
We write the program that runs on the device itself and, where needed, accompanying software for configuration and reading.
05
Production
Manufacture of the device in the required quantity and final testing.
