Phase 2C iterates on the learnings of Phase 2B and involves a refined prototype build of a fully integrated system. Some projects also benefit from additional iterations of the product based on prior learnings through additional phases (2D, 2E, etc), which are not represented in this graphic. All requirements are intended to be tested, and at the end of Phase 2 there will be confidence that the units will pass verification in Phase 3. The Bill of Materials is further refined, and the team updates estimates for the per unit cost of the product by receiving pricing from vendors and suppliers.
Simplexity offers expert product development engineering services tailored for robotics and Physical AI companies facing system engineering talent constraints, especially when scaling to higher volumes. We bridge the gap between cutting-edge design and scalable production by delivering end-to-end solutions from custom robot subsystems and embedded firmware to manufacturable, reliable products. Our approach ensures smooth transitions from prototype to production, enabling clients to deploy advanced robotic systems efficiently and effectively.
Simplexity has a dedicated New Product Introduction (NPI) team that can guide the transition from design into production. The NPI team presents multiple options for manufacturing to the client, allowing clients to choose the solution that best suits their needs. This can involve Simplexity performing initial builds in-house prior to full handoff to a contract manufacturer or building the product via established relationships with contract manufacturing partners either domestically or overseas early in the process.
Our world-class engineers average more than twenty years of experience and have been granted over 200 patents in a broad spectrum of industries. Over half of our engineers hold advanced degrees from institutions such as MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and Georgia Tech. In their spare time, our engineers love to innovative and build personal projects. Our teams, located in offices spanning the West Coast from San Diego to Seattle, have the technical competence to solve your most challenging problems.
The detailed design phase starts with defining options for the product architecture, with the goal of having the greatest chance of successfully meeting product requirements while best mitigating risk. Engineering activities in this phase include presenting options for hardware components, outlining the system block, sequence, and state diagrams, creating rough CAD, and breadboarding of high-risk subsystems. Results are presented with a description of the pros, cons, and key tradeoffs for each scenario.
In addition, Simplexity provides fully automated workflow solutions for companies with complex, disparate processes in test, R&D, or production. We design reliable and traceable automation systems that optimize efficiency and reduce manual intervention by integrating robotics, machine vision, and intelligent control technologies. By streamlining workflows and enhancing process reliability, we help clients increase productivity, lower costs, and maintain quality.
Are you in the early stages of design and need product feasibility explorations or research to identify engineering viability of your product? Or, maybe you need help with developing the product architecture or requirements for your product. Many clients come to us with early explorations or “Phase 0” projects like these and then retain us for subsequent product development phases.
The detailed design phase usually has multiple, iterative sub-phases as the design progresses and representative prototypes are built. Phases 2B and 2C are typically the largest efforts in the product development process, where the specific implementation for all disciplines occurs (mechanical, industrial design, electrical, firmware, systems, software, manufacturing, and quality).
The core of Simplexity’s business is providing full system product development and detailed design for your product, from concept through production. This also often includes prototype design and optimization, as well as modifications to simplify the design or reduce unit cost. Simplification is fundamental to our philosophy, threaded through all our engineering disciplines.
Do you need design for high volume production? Or, with an eye to manufacturing, help with DfX evaluations to ensure assembly, serviceability, and manufacturability of your design? Simplexity’s New Product Introduction team helps determine an optimized supply chain strategy and manages product quality and cost, backed by a certified Quality Management System.
