Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Iot Product Development?
IoT product development is about developing an end-to-end IoT product from hardware design, hardware development, firmware development and IoT application development.
With robust experience, we have grown to develop and deliver premium quality commercial and industrial IoT solutions to our clients.
 
How to develop an IoT-enabled Product?
Here are some of the prerequisites that are required to develop an IoT-enabled product:
  • Hardware
    To build the hardware of any IoT product, you first need to select the hardware board for your project based on the size of the device, manufacturing and expiry date, types of sensors supported, connectivity capability and computation. Once the hardware board is selected, you need to get ready for its design. We recommend following the “Design for Manufacturing” principle when designing the hardware of a product. After the designs are prepared, you need to manufacture it.
  • Firmware Development
    Once the hardware of an IoT product is manufactured successfully, the next step is to develop its firmware to make the hardware run and interact with the software.
  • Edge Computing
    Instead of Cloud Computing, we recommend edge computing for IoT product data capturing. Using edge computing, the data can be produced at the edge of the IoT network and can be used for intelligent decision making.
  • Application Development
    Once the product is ready, you can create an IoT application that can interact with the IoT device to take any action. For example, a mobile app can be used to turn the smart IoT-enabled light on or off.
What are the phases of IoT Product Development?
Following are the phases of IoT product development:
  • Identify the use case and run feasibility analysis
    Firstly, it is essential to identify the challenges and problems that you are looking to solve with an IoT product. Once you have identified challenges, the next step is to determine the use case and how it will fit your business operations. Run a feasibility analysis test and evaluate the need for the IoT product idea.

  • Design a Technical Architecture
    A mechanical, electrical, cloud, firmware, mobile and database architecture is created to ensure that the IoT product meets the market requirements and usage factors.
  • Proof of Concept
    Once the architecture is ready, you can develop a rapid prototype using the software and off-the-shelf hardware. To understand how the product would work, you can create a low-fidelity and quick turnaround prototypes that can help you avoid pitfalls later in the development stage.
  • IoT Product Development
    Based on the feedback received for the prototype, the development of an IoT product can be started using the technology stack required for the project. Testing can be done at every phase of the development to ensure that the product is continuously tested throughout the development.
