every equipment needed to complete the design and development of new products for
software and hardware Minimum Viable Products (MVPs)
Our lab is equipped to produce working prototypes from the point of concept to
completion as well as handling the test cycles for the product to be viable for
demonstration and as an MVP, we approach product development with a well laid out
structure the aspects below are thoroughly addressed
PCB design and development
Embedded System design
Test Cycles
Design for manufacturing (DFM)
Product Manufacture
The factors responsible for product delays include, lack of access to prototyping
equipment and testing processes, at Liensy labs, we do all this under one roof, 70-80% of
the production process is presently done in-house, reducing the cost of bringing your
product to market. with specialized engineers who focus on each segment of the
production process. We ensure we carry you along (customer) in the design and
development stage focusing on your needs much more than any other thing, you are an
integral part of the manufacturing process. With Liensy device manufacturing just got
easy. All at flexible costs to suit your needs

Solution for the Energy Industry
Stage #1 – Customers’ Requirements
It all starts with a single problem. A customer comes to us with an issue where an
ideal solution does not already exist. Perhaps there is in fact a solution, but there are
several flaws or defects that are just accepted and worked around. As long as you the
customer is motivated to solve the problem, there is typically enough of a spark to kick
off the next stage of the product development process.
At LIENSY, we spend a lot of time in advance of the project talking to you our
customer to truly understand your need. This information is collected and discussed
during multiple brainstorming sessions to figure out how we can do things strategically
and differently and determine any other value points we can provide. It is imperative
LIENSY ����

that we be cautious that in solving one problem, we are not creating others. Building the
best all-around product that provides the most value for you the client.

Stage #2 – Product Conception (Research)
When designing a new product, it is quite common that one or more core
components will involve technology that is emerging or is new to the company. At LIENSY
Inc, before moving ahead with development, it is important to have a thorough
understanding of these technologies. Typically, reference designs are reviewed,
development kits are used for POC and the technology is validated well before
incorporating it into a product.

Design and Development
At LIENSY Inc, design encompasses a number of different engineering disciplines.
Typically, we are involved in hardware, firmware, mechanical and software engineering.
Each of these disciplines have their own challenges and processes, but nothing we can’t
handle, which are described at a high level below.
Hardware Engineering
Hardware engineering starts with identifying a collection of key components that
are required to form the platform at the center of the design. Supporting components
are selected, and together a schematic is created that shows the connections between
all components. Once the design has been created and reviewed by several team
members, layout is performed. This step involves taking the footprints of the physical
LIENSY ����

components as well as the connections and arranging them on a virtual circuit board.
Block diagram of the hardware connections is designed and passed through quality
control as shown below in some of our previous designs for customers.

Mechanical Engineering
Once the hardware has been designed, with input and information from you the
customer about the product our mechanical engineers will design an enclosure and
correlating brackets to ensure that the product is functional, rugged, aesthetically
attractive and reliable and can withstand various environmental elements. Other factors
that go into the design account for mounting, accessibility, ease of service and
manufacturability.

Firmware Engineering
Embedded firmware is software/code that is written to run on a hardware
platform. This would be equivalent to the software running inside your DVD player or
microwave. The software is fully designed ahead of time to ensure that all of the devices
are properly supported and that the feature set required by the user is delivered. Once
the design is in place, it will be broken up into several components that can be written
individually by several members of this team.
Software Engineering
In most cases, a physical electronic product requires software tools that run on a
PC. They are used to program the device or interact with it when in a given mode.
Prototyping
Once each portion of the design is complete, it will typically be prototyped. For
hardware engineering, this means getting the circuit board printed and soldering on
components. For mechanical engineering, enclosures are produced. Some designs will
have enclosures that are punched, bent, and welded at a machine shop, while others
will eventually require a mold to be 3-D printed at this stage. Firmware can be compiled
and run “off target.” This means running a simulator on a PC instead of on the actual
hardware.

Testing
Testing is one of the most critical stages in product development. What good is a
product if it does not function as designed? The next few stages of the product
development process get increasingly expensive and time consuming, so LIENSY Inc
ensures catching problems early to save time and money for our customer in the long
run. Even though testing is identified at this point in our product development cycle, there
is also development testing, field testing, production testing and regression testing that
happens throughout development. We ensure that testing occurs during virtually every
stage of development to make sure the final product is of the highest quality, is user-
friendly and functions reliably.

Certification
At LIENSY Inc we take note of meeting certification requirements for all products
that pass through our lab. Even though this stage happens near the end of the product
development process, many considerations are incorporated into the design early on to
ensure that it will pass certification. We don’t assume anything, as safety and compliance
with international standards is our goal. Therefore, we have an engineering team with
specialized knowledge and experience in building hazardous locations electronics.
Field Trial
Prior to this step we carry out simulation models of all parts of the design and
development using some of the best simulation tools available that test real world
scenarios. Once the product has been certified, it can safely be installed in the field for
LIENSY ����
www.liensy.com
you the customer. Even though this is the first time the product will be installed, we have
simulated conditions such as extreme temperatures earlier on in the testing cycle. By the
time we have moved into this phase, we are confident that the product will perform. This
phase of testing will help identify situations that were not considered and will put the
product in user’s hands for the first time.
Production
At this stage, we are finally ready to mass produce the product, but there is still a lot
of work to do. We work on supply chain to ensure that parts are readily available, circuit
boards are arranged into panels so that any number of units can be produced at once,
machines are programmed, and test setups and procedures are designed and built.
Once those things are established, manufacturing runs are scheduled and executed.

Maintenance
Once a product is into full production and being used by customers, it has to be
maintained. We support all our customers in providing unlimited support and
maintenance. Because we spend detailed time in design n development, maintaining
our customer’s products is easy to address properly designed and maintained device will
have updates published on occasion that fix these issues or add new features.

Platform 3 – Circuit and Schematic Design
Our manufacturing process includes the design of the schematic diagrams. The
end goal of the electronics design is the creation of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The first
step we employ in making a new PCB is the creation of the schematic circuit design. A
schematic is similar to a blueprint for a house. Designing the schematic circuit first includes
early research to select the best topology and most affordable components.
LIENSY ����
www.liensy.com
It may also include running simulations and/or bread-boarding (used only rarely in
modern electronics). We design the electronics in-house; we utilize some of the best
industry based software in our electronics circuit design.
Stage #4 – Design the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Layout
Using the same software package as in stage #3, the designer now creates the
PCB layout. A portion may be automatically routed but most boards require manual
routing for optimum performance.

At LIENSY Inc our PCB design protocols is well detailed, When the PCB layout is
complete the design software will tell the designer if the PCB matches the schematic. It
will also check wire widths, trace spacing’s, etc. to ensure the layout meets all of the rules
for the particular PCB fabrication process being used. Before beginning the PCB layout.
We have PCB manufacturing partners who we work with and are very reliable and on
time in deliveries.
Stage #5 – Evaluate and Debug the Prototype
Once the first prototype comes back it will now need to be evaluated and if any
problems are found, those will need to be debugged.
LIENSY ����
www.liensy.com
Hopefully there are no problems, but that’s extremely rare, and there are almost always
at least a couple of issues.
Stage #6 – Program the Microcontroller
Almost all electronics products today have some kind of microcontroller that acts
as the brains for the product. These are almost always programmed in a computer
language called “C”. At LIENSY Inc we employ the most suitable and robust language
for the solution to be developed.
Stage #7 – 3D Modeling
Some parts needing modelling such as tooling and enclosure fabrication are done
using latest technology. We employ design engineers to ensure the enclosure meets
functional and aesthetic requirements of you the customer in compliance with
international standards.

Stage #8 – Evaluating, Debugging and Revising the Design
Business Aspects
Utilizing basic internal and external SWOT analyses, as well as current marketing
trends, one can distance themselves from the competition by employing concurrent
engineering techniques, generating ideologies which take affordability, ROI, and
widespread distribution costs into account.
At LIENSY Inc the lean, mean and scalable are the key points we keep in mind.
employing the NPD process, keeping the system nimble and use flexible discretion over
which activities are executed. You may want to develop multiple versions of your road
map scaled to suit different types and risk levels of projects.

Step 4: Business Analytics
During the New Product Development process, build a system of metrics to monitor
progress. Include input metrics, such as average time in each stage, as well as output
metrics that measure the value of launched products, percentage of new product sales
and other figures that provide valuable feedback. It is important for an organization to
be in agreement for these criteria and metrics.
