Outsource IoT Development - Save Your Engineering Hours and Get 10X Results
The adoption of embedded and IoT products in the industrial and consumer sectors is rising in the embedded system market. Global Market Insight research estimates the embedded system market to exceed $21.5 billion by 2027.
However, the increasing functionality, non-functional constraints, and trending technology make the embedded/IoT system more complex. With escalating complexity, the development cost of embedded systems is also pumping up.
Because of this rising development cost, the crunch of talented and skilled professionals, the inability to cope with the changing trends, and other issues in the embedded development sphere, organizations prefer to outsource their embedded/IoT development requirements.
Outsourcing embedded system development gives organizations the advantage save their engineering hours, scaling flexibility, receiving quality products, increasing their cost-efficiency, and driving maximum value.
How Outsourcing IoT Product
Development Brings Value
Whether it is a start-up that utilizes smart products, an organization with an in-house embedded engineering team, or a firm with embedded system development at its core, outsourcing provides various opportunities and value for all of them. Here are a few key reasons behind outsourcing becoming popular in embedded/IoT system development:
Avail Vast Exposure to Product Design
Outsourcing embedded system development to experts ensures performance and quality. These service providers have vast exposure to product design based on complexity and performance, deterministic behavior, triggering, generation, and network appliances. They have experience designing embedded systems built around low-performance and low-cost 8- or 16-bit microprocessors, high-performance 32- or 64-bit RISC microprocessors, soft or real-time systems, event, or time-triggered design, etc.
They can develop an embedded system for various devices and applications in several domains, such as discrete, process, power, and building automation. You can get new product development support in mechanical like industrial design/styling, or hardware such as system architecture or hardware design. A well-thought-out IoT product design helps get your brand vision and success.
Easy Access to Infrastructure for Simulation and Analysis
imulation process design is a model of a real system and conducts experiments to understand system behavior and evaluate steps of system operation. It gives an insight and identifies if the product will be inconvenient, expensive, or impractical in the physical world. Simulation provides an abstraction of the physical world with much flexibility required in the modeling phase.
Outsourcing reduces simulation challenges such as the availability of adequate language tools, selecting models of computation to develop system abstractions (discrete, event discrete, continuous, heterogeneous, etc.), application field, design of abstraction level, etc.
For example, tools such as MatLab, Simulink, and Lab view help build models of the controlled system, whereas UI tools like Visual Studio GUI builder help simulate the human UI. The availability of tools and experts makes simulation of a computer system, environment, UI, and Network easy.
Design Level Prototyping and Assembly Cost Reduction
Prototyping is crucial to achieving a successful and high-quality product. It helps identify design flaws before production, provides a real perspective of the product, understands the feasibility of the idea as a product, identifies suitable products for manufacturing the product, and streamlines the design.
Prototyping is a tricky task and needs various tools for off-the-shelf hardware with programable DSP, FPGA, or microprocessor for configuration. Hardware functionality should include modular I/O, integrated signal conditioning, integrated FPGA, etc. For integrating software with a hardware-board support package, I/O API libraries, and others.
The embedded prototyping service providers bring innovative ways to prototype the product, produces tangible IoT products, improve the product functionality with feedback, and helps reduce assembly cost.
Go to Market Compliance Check and Certification
Compliance check and certification ensures correct operation, quality, safety, and security in embedded/IoT products. Regulatory standards are crucial for complex high-assurance applications.
These functional safety standards introduce several challenges for engineers and organizations. Such as tracking necessary documents and artifacts, ensuring functional requirements are applied on the system level, coping with organizational challenges of new roles, adding knowledge, adjusting to the new process, etc.
Some process-oriented safety certification standards applied to the embedded system for validation are IEC 61508 applied to different industries such as automotive and medical. It is accomplished through risk analysis, requirements tracing, etc.
Partnering with an expert embedded design company makes your product go to market ready through proper compliance checks and certification.
Right Talent Pool with High Engineering Bandwidth
Embedded product development companies choose the right talent and specialists with appropriate experience levels. Availability of the necessary skills enables them to implement even complex project designs and products successfully.
Unavailability of the right resource is a huge investment, time, and resource risk. Engineers with high bandwidth, rich exposure in design and development, and knowledge of the product life cycle of various domains help them to focus on analyzing, designing, coding, testing, prototyping, and developing customized IoT embedded software and hardware.
Black Box Development with In-house Transparency
Black box development enables one to assess a system from outside and observe its behavior by putting inputs and outputs. It helps evaluate the software performance from a user’s perspective by targeting a specific feature or reducing the input into groups. Types of black box testing, such as functional, non-functional, and regression testing, help identify the defects and fixed.
Time and Cost Efficiency
Outsourcing your embedded system development requirement to experts provide you with enough time to focus on your business issues. It also helps you reduce the cost of hiring and training permanent staff for embedded system development.
