CER provides comprehensive electronic product design services from creation of customized specifications, design, and prototype to complete testing of virtually any hardware/software interface.

Listed below is a comprehensive list of services we offer our clients. Please contact us for more info.

  • Turnkey hardware/software products for complex issues.

  • Customized embedded control systems design.

  • Digital Signal Processing designs for high speed data
    applications.

  • Software designed for your operating environment.

  • Custom control interfaces with specialized graphics.

  • Complete documentation for system, design, manufacturing
    and industry approvals.

Product Design Process...

It's not just as simple as "start at the beginning and continue till I'm
done" !

  • A clear understanding of the product concept and intended
    market and audience.

  • Translation of product concept and features into
    requirements.

  • Project planning, lifecycle determination, creation of
    development plan.

  • Determination of Regulatory approvals requirements
    necessary (FDA, FAA, UL, CSA, FM Approvals, CE mark).
    Risk analysis on product and critical factors.

  • Hardware and software requirements defined and
    documented.

  • Initial prototypes of system, concept.

  • Risk analysis on hardware, software and system.

  • System Test Plan defined and documentation created.

  • Operational prototype.

  • Detailed design completed.

  • Periodic design reviews, and lifecycle documentation
    continued.

  • Software written and documentation continued.

  • Unit test of software.

  • Integration and test.

  • Acceptance testing, validation testing.

  • Completion of documentation, final reports.

Embedded Systems Design...

Embedded Control Systems are computers (microprocessors) that are enclosed (embedded) in customized hardware. Examples of embedded control systems would be portable medical equipment, cellular phones, police, fire, emergency communications equipment, laboratory test equipment, robotic equipment and manufacturing monitoring of assembly lines.
Embedded systems could include standard microprocessor designs (Intel 8052, Cygnal family of high-speed devices, Microchip 16/17 and 18 series of controllers, Motorola 68HC11/12/16/332, Intel 80x86/Pentium family) or specialized DSP devices.

Custom Software Applications...

We develop unique DOS, Windows, Palm, Linux (and embedded Linux) applications that include complex graphical interfaces and control and monitor remote equipment. The application software can control or
monitor a manufacturing process, provide a graphical user interface to display reports, graphs or data, be a custom system driver, control remote operations, capture data, process and display results, or display unique graphic elements (meters, switches, temp probes).

Technical Documentation...

We specialize in documentation required for regulatory approvals with federal or industry regulatory agencies. Our system, design, test and approval documentation would include the following:

  • System specifications and requirements

  • Software requirements specifications

  • Software Development Plans

  • Software Test Plans

  • FMEA studies (failure mode error analysis)

  • Standard Operating Procedures for design controls, reviews,
    quality control, verification and validation
