2. Embedded Developments Process
Product Development Process

 The experience of our engineers has allowed us to develop an internal procedure to guarantee the success in our
developments.
 In this, we pay special attention in the most critical points before starting and during any project, in order to minimize the
project risk. Points as specification, component choose and final validation are to be defined, in order to minimize the
design errors, reduce costs and delivery terms.
 We work in very close cooperation with the customer for two main reasons:
 Review that the developed work meets specifications and timings.
 Update as soon as possible if the customer wants to add any modification in the product.
 Our data base and know-how considers the following points to guarantee the success of the development.
 Review or development of the technical specifications.
 Development and release of the electronic schematic.
 Selection of components in basis of cost, performance and availability.
 PCB layout and manufacturing
 Development of the SW in basis of Automotive standards.
 Validation at levels Unit Test, Integration Test and Black Box Test.
 Homologation and Certification according to safety and EMC standards.
 Project documentation.
