Prototype development

How quickly can you turn an idea into a working prototype?

How do we do it?

We have developed our own process for creating embedded software in custom projects.

Alpha Prototype

We will build an alpha prototype for you to verify the core functionality—the appearance and operation of the proposed device in a controlled environment. The goal is to demonstrate what the final product is capable of.

This phase is about finding answers to which functionalities should be included in the final product (based on user preferences). At this stage, we have the first demonstrator, which can be used for testing ideas and marketing purposes.

Most often, when clients ask about creating a prototype of their device, they mean an alpha prototype.

Beta Prototype

After completing the necessary alpha iterations, we will build a mature version—the beta prototype. This stage focuses on achieving full technical and functional readiness for your product. We will deliver an advanced version of the device and firmware, which we will test together. It is an almost final iteration, refined before mass production begins.

How is a Beta Prototype different from an MVP?

When creating an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), we focus on a minimal yet valuable version of your product that allows us to validate its key functionalities in the market. While an MVP may offer a more limited feature set compared to a beta prototype, its main purpose is to test the product in real-world conditions. This helps us understand how the product performs in practice and what modifications may be needed.

A beta prototype is an almost final version of your product—here, we focus on achieving full technical and functional readiness, preparing a solution that will be tested before mass production.

What will you get out of it?

Our prototyping process includes:

Project requirements analysis: Together, we define the goals and key functions of your device.
Concept development and initial prototype design: Based on the analysis, we create preliminary solutions tailored to the project’s specifics.
Selection of technology, components, and tools: We choose the materials and technologies that best fit your prototype.
Building the first prototype version: We develop the first working prototype (alpha) to verify functionality.
Testing, gathering feedback, and iterative improvements: We launch and test the prototype, identify potential issues early, and implement necessary adjustments.

After 2-3 iterations, we usually reach the MVP version or the beta prototype, depending on our initial goal.
