The Advantages of Firmware, Software, and Hardware Under One Roof
At Pegmatis, we pride ourselves on being more than just engineers, scientists, or designers; we are holistic product developers. We tackle challenges head-on with an unparalleled depth of expertise and a commitment to creating innovative, pragmatic solutions. Our integrated approach, encompassing firmware, software, and hardware development under one roof, provides our clients with unmatched efficiency and results across diverse industries.
End-to-End Expertise You Can Feel
When you work with Pegmatis, you experience the full weight of our expertise. We’re not just a group of specialists working in silos; we’re problem solvers and creative thinkers who thrive on delivering exceptional solutions to the most complex challenges. This comprehensive approach allows us to navigate seamlessly across industries like medtech, consumer appliances, automotive, industrial manufacturing, high-end audio, and more.
From concept to final product, our team works in tandem to ensure every discipline, including firmware, software, and hardware, is aligned, creating efficiencies that simply aren’t possible with disconnected teams.
The Power of Collaboration
One of the greatest advantages of having all three disciplines in-house is the ability to work in parallel. At Pegmatis, we understand not only the requirements of each discipline but also how to prioritize tasks in a way that accelerates development and reduces costs. For example:
- Firmware developers can anticipate the needs of the hardware team which in some cases enables early certification and debugging.
- Electronics engineers know how to prepare for firmware needs, ensuring a smoother development process.
- When issues inevitably arise, teams can address them collaboratively and in real-time, reducing delays and eliminating miscommunications.
A great example of this collaboration is when we tackled a project involving an advanced phone design. During this project, the development boards didn’t allow us to fully exercise features. To move the product development process along more swiftly, our hardware team developed custom development boards that more closely mimicked the final product, allowing the firmware team to write firmware and test features that they otherwise would not have been able to do. With firmware and hardware teams working side by side, we debugged efficiently and effectively, ensuring a seamless transition from prototype to production.
Economies of Scale in Firmware, Software, and Hardware Under One Roof
It’s not just about having the disciplines in the same building - it’s about the economies of scale that emerge when these teams work together seamlessly. When firmware, software, and hardware developers collaborate, they create solutions faster and with greater precision. This leads to reduced development times, lower costs, and improved product performance.
For instance, when developing a device, our integrated approach allowed us to prioritize features essential for regulatory approval, significantly accelerating the certification process. In another project, our collaborative efforts resulted in a manufacturing advancement that saved our client $8 million.
Innovation Across Industries
Our expertise isn’t confined to one industry - it spans many regulated and unregulated sectors including:
- MedTech: Creating life-changing devices with rigorous compliance standards
- Consumer Electronics: Innovating with miniaturization and cutting-edge designs
- Security and Defense: Delivering robust, reliable solutions
In one case, we fused an antenna into the bezel of a watch, something that had never been done before. In another, we perfected a zero-gap display, delivering an unparalleled user experience.
