From concept to prototype

If you have developed a new product, you know how exciting it is when your concept becomes reality. Typically, if your product includes an electronic controller it is specified at the later stages of the project. But once you know exactly what you want, how long can you afford to wait for your electronics to be delivered?

From concept to prototype

Rory's vision for a feature packed, envirotech product was close to becoming reality and he had received positive feedback from potential customers. Unfortunately for Rory, time was against him. His investors had demanded a launch date and he had less than six weeks to complete his prototype.

After approaching numerous suppliers who never got back to him, Rory was introduced to Top Hex. He discussed his ideas over the phone with a very helpful engineer who made useful suggestions and helped Rory to clarify his requirements. Top Hex then designed a custom electronic controller, manufactured prototypes and produced software, just in time for the big investor event.

The product launched successfully and Top Hex assisted Rory with scaling up his production by supplying the complex wiring assembly. Now, Top Hex delivers Rory a ready-to-sell product which is quite the market disruptor. His key unique selling point is connectivity, and his product offers a range of options including Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth.

After the success of his first launch, Rory is already dreaming up his next product. Although he has work to do on the detail, he has already specified a Top Hex custom electronic controller.
