Full Product

Full Product Development.

Our full product development offering provides a comprehensive solution for clients in the electronics industry. From initial concept design through every development phase, product launch, and mass manufacturing, we manage each step of the design and development process to ensure that the final product meets the highest standards of quality, functionality, and aesthetics.

Product Concept and Ideation

Once the client defines the target market and required functionality, we work closely with the client to develop a product that optimally addresses users’ needs, taking into consideration:

  • The practical feasibility of the product’s physical operation.
  • The environment in which the product will operate and its user interfaces.

Our design experts work closely with the client to develop innovative solutions that meet both aesthetic and technical requirements.

Prototype Phase

The initial phase of product development focuses on designing and developing a product prototype. Prototyping gives our clients an in-depth view of the product and establishes a proof of concept. At GML, we offer both demo units (nonfunctional prototypes) and functional prototypes. Our skilled prototype engineers build preliminary product models as either rapid prototypes for quick product analysis or conventional prototypes, according to the client’s needs.

Product Design

Following the prototype phase, we apply our electronics manufacturing expertise to refine the prototype - including its design, functionality, materials, components, and cost-effectiveness - until the product is market-ready.

We apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles in the product design phase right from the start to ensure each product is optimized for efficient production. By integrating manufacturing considerations into the design process, we reduce potential manufacturing issues, minimize costs, and enhance the overall functionality and reliability of the final product.

Qualification

To minimize the risks associated with noncompliance, assure product quality, and reduce costs while ensuring that products and parts meet client and regulatory requirements, GML incorporates testing and qualification procedures into the manufacturing process. These include First Article Inspection (FAI), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), and other product tests that replicate the electromagnetic, climatic, and mechanical conditions the product will encounter throughout its operating life.

Hardware and Firmware

Hardware and Firmware Design.

GML is a leading research and development partner for industrial and consumer device companies, primarily in the IoT and cellular markets. We specialize in developing a wide range of electronic products, including electronic and embedded solutions encompassing electronics development, embedded software, mechanical part construction, and prototype manufacturing.

Our skilled electronics design engineers work closely with our industrial designers and mechanical engineers to provide clients with a comprehensive, in-house, end-to-end design and problem-solving team.

EVB Testing

GML offers prototyping and testing of product concepts using evaluation boards, reference designs, Arduino shields, and other design kits intended for product evaluation. We design a wide range of evaluation boards for applications such as lighting, power, IoT, and RF, as well as mobile applications for the automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.

PCB Design

GML offers cutting-edge PCB design solutions. We specialize in high-speed, multi-layer, mixed-signal, and RF PCB design. This, coupled with fabrication and assembly, is one of our added values to clients looking for one partner to provide solutions for all their PCB needs.

Firmware Design

In firmware development, GML focuses on delivering code and resource management for various CPU architectures, thus enabling your product to perform well even in resource-constrained environments with limited power, memory, and processing resources.

Using an agile development methodology, our full-stack embedded developers deliver reliable, high-performance firmware tailored to the client’s industry standards, with advanced security features built-in. Our developers are highly experienced in working with the most widely used programming languages and real-time operating systems. Before final approval, the firmware undergoes testing to ensure that it fully utilizes the underlying hardware without errors, conflicts, or bottlenecks.

ID and Mechanical

Industrial (ID) and Mechanical Design.

GML's industrial and mechanical design services range from developing mechanical concepts for various products to designing mechanical, plastic, and metal parts based on the client’s preferences. Having completed thousands of diverse industrial and mechanical designs over the years, we have developed extensive knowledge and specialized expertise in product manufacturing technologies and advanced electronic packaging. We use innovative, cutting-edge developments in plastics and electronics while accounting for product complexity and cross-functional interactions.
