We provide our electronic design consultancy services to a large range of companies; SMEs and global entities alike. During early meetings we will work through a checklist of commercial and technical factors to build a thorough understanding of our clients’ aspirations, priorities and goals.
We will offer constructive criticism and guidance where we believe that expectations are unrealistic but equally, we will proffer creative technical input where we feel that unfulfilled opportunities can be realised without major impact on project scale. This precise approach helps ensure that the end result is technically feasible, offering the greatest opportunity to create value and achieve maximum commercial success.
Electronic Hardware Design
Electronic hardware design forms a core offering from TDI. More than any other of our professional services, hardware design requires close liaison and co-operation with all other technical aspects of electronic product development: mechanical, PCB and software design; production engineering (manufacturing interface) and regulatory certification. (more…)
Systems and Embedded Software
Almost all state-of-the-art electronic systems require some amount of software, whether for simple control functions, advanced digital signal processing, or the latest touch-based user interfaces. TDI has in-house expertise covering key programming languages such as C, Java and Python, targeting everything from the smallest 8-bit devices to high-end Embedded Linux and Android platforms.

Printed Circuit Board Layout
In the physical realisation of an electronic product, the skill of effective circuit board design is often under-estimated. At TDI, our in-house team are fully conversant with best practice design and manufacturing techniques resulting in solutions that reduce design iterations and help our clients achieve earlier market adoption.

Feasibility Studies
A Feasibility Study can provide valuable insight for entrepreneurs or start-ups by allowing a new technology idea to be developed and evaluated in outline form before making a commitment to an in-depth development programme. Feasibility Studies can yield important pointers that can channel follow-on design efforts into the most productive directions, helping to create new products that have the highest chance of market success.

Product Specification Development & Consultancy
TDI believes strongly in the critical importance of developing a comprehensive and effective functional specification for any new product. Developing such a specification should come easily for established companies (though this is not always the case) but the process can be extremely daunting or beset with difficulties for entrepreneurs or new start-ups. TDI can help with product specification development by drawing on its breadth and depth of experience in helping to create stand-out, successful designs across a wide spread of product types and commercial markets.

Prototype Manufacturing, Commissioning & Test
A key stage in the development cycle for any electronic hardware is the creation of a set of prototypes that form a platform to test and prove the fundamental features of a new product. The delivery of a fresh set of prototypes is always a highly exciting event at TDI. Nevertheless, prototype bring-up can form a nervous undertaking, especially because by their very nature the products we develop contain some novel and untried characteristics. Through careful checks made throughout the design process, our engineers will have every confidence that new hardware is going to exhibit “right first time” operational success. (more…)
