Moving from prototype to production...
How can we tell if we have crafted a perfect BOM ?
Can we do better on price ?
Did we make the best possible choices ?
How do we assess our risks ?
How do we learn all the things we don’t know just in time for that
deadline ?
While having a startup-size team...
Technical data can help

OPEN HARDWARE DESIGNS

But it's all over the map, and there is so much of it...
What if we’re to capture, normalize and make all this data easily accessible ?
