Supporting you all the way with electronic product design and development
Project review & proposal
Submit your project and receive honest feedback from our award-winning electronic design team. If we can help, we create a detailed, tailored project proposal outlining development costs, manufacturing options, and technical support.
Design & prototype
Embark on an exciting product development journey with us. Taking your ideas from initial conceptual designs through to engineered 3D CAD models and working rapid electro-mechanical prototypes.
Manufacture, launch & market
Turn your electronic product idea into commercial reality! We support you with the patent process, setting up volume manufacturing partnerships and creating websites, creating websites, video, photography and 3D visual content, along with your final brand identity.
Every electronic product design is unique, and therefore, we tailor the electronic development process to suit each project. An effective, efficient process helps reduce development time and costs, avoiding errors and ensuring that the electronics integrate reliably with the mechanics and the overall aesthetics of the final product.

Electronics Product Research
This stage typically includes, but is not limited to, analysing existing electronic products, conducting product teardowns, and setting up basic electronic compliance testing. By conducting a research stage at the start of the electronic design process, we can better understand the electronics required for the intended application. A feasibility study can often be required when technology, systems, and component options remain unknown. This is a vital initial step in the electronic product design process, ensuring the most suitable solution is developed in line with client briefs, usability, and manufacturing or RRP budgets.
We may also conduct benchtop electronic prototypes using off-the-shelf components to demonstrate functionality before moving on to miniaturisation and full PCB-compliant construction.
Electronics Specification and RFQ
Once a concept is developed our first step is to create an Electronic Design Specification Document that outlines the product functionality, initial component selection, block diagrams, PCB sizes and layout within the product casing. At this stage, components are simply blocked out within the CAD model to support our electronics engineers. We then work with our developers to further define the components and ensure that the volume- production cost is appropriate before completing the product development of the electronic hardware.
These early stages are instrumental in refining both hardware and firmware specifications, guiding the continued development of your final electronic product. We document these prototypes with images, firmware logic, and component selections to inform future development stages.
Electronics Hardware Design and Build
The electronics specification is shared with our skilled electronics engineers to begin PCB development and overall electronic assembly. Here the electronics requirements will be further established and refined. We have the capability to create electronic product prototypes ranging from simple gadgets through to complex machines and integrated systems with many components. Once the electronics have been validated and peer-verified by our hardware and firmware engineers, you will receive a final testing sample.
MVP Build
Once we receive an initial sample of the electronics, we can combine and assemble it into a complete design prototype. Ensuring that the electronic and mechanical design elements in your idea are perfectly integrated into the product, our experienced electronic designers can develop a wide range of electronic products.

App Design and Development
Although most of the firmware development occurs during the Electronics Hardware Design and Build stage, there are instances where the firmware requires further tuning or integration with an app. It is at this stage that this can take place. We can also begin to explore the design and development of an accompanying app, web or other software solution at this stage if required for your project.
Our experienced design team will ensure the design of your user interface (UI)is effective, appealing, and user-friendly. We can begin by creating basic wireframes, site maps and personas to ensure the user experience (UX) reflects clear, useful user feedback. Following this we can pull together any branding assets to create a polished visual before starting on the code development alongside our app and web design teams.
As our designers will typically be involved in your project from the very beginning, we will have complete understanding your project’s vision. This enables us to combine your brand, product’s ethos and aesthetics into an app or other user interface (UI) that perfectly ties together with the mechanical design of your product.
Seamless Integration with Industrial Design
The electronics are only one part of your product. Users also need to connect with the product’s form and feel with intuitive user interaction central to success. As such the design team at Idea Reality combines electronics, mechanics, and aesthetics through an integrated approach, and our designers bring engineering expertise aligned across industry discipline standards.
