Concept to production

    From working prototype to volume production

    Getting a prototype working is one thing. Making ten thousand of them, reliably and affordably, is another. We bridge that gap with hands-on manufacturing, real sourcing, and an engineer in Shenzhen who keeps the factory honest.

    Already have a working prototype from another team? That's fine. We start with a manufacturability review and take it from there.

    The prototype-to-production cliff is where hardware startups fall

    A design that works on the bench can be a nightmare to build at scale: parts that go end-of-life, a factory that cuts corners, yields that quietly eat your margin.

    We de-risk the scale-up. DFM review before you commit to tooling or volume production, multi-source parts strategies, factory qualification, and custom test fixtures so boards are tested before they leave production. Our engineer in Shenzhen is there in person, not on a 3 AM call.

    Design for manufacturing

    We review the board and enclosure for build cost, yield, and testability before you commit to tooling or volume production.

    Parts sourcing & factory qualification

    BOM sourcing, multi-source strategies for shortages and end-of-life parts, and factory qualification based on the product you actually need to build.

    Test fixtures & yield tracking

    Custom test fixtures check every board, while Insyght Console tracks yields and test results so production problems show up as data early.

    Why this beats a broker or a bare factory

    • Sourcing and manufacturing decisions are easier when the team managing them also understands the electronics and enclosure. We review the design and the production route together rather than treating them as separate jobs.
    • Multi-source parts strategies reduce the chance that one end-of-life component or shortage stops the line.
    • You see test results and live yield data through Insyght Console, so you can track production quality in numbers rather than only discussing it after a batch is finished.

    From prototype into production

    “Insyght took it from concept all the way to a working product: the hardware, the ML firmware, production, everything.”

    Frequently asked questions

    We already have a prototype. Can you take it to production?

    Yes, that's exactly the gap we fill. We start with a DFM review of your existing design, then handle sourcing, factory qualification, and production.

    What is the Shenzhen engineer for?

    Manufacturing quality is won or lost on the factory floor. Having our own engineer on the ground means we catch issues in person before a batch ships, not after you've received it.

    How do you keep quality high at volume?

    Custom test fixtures check every board, and yields are tracked in real time through Insyght Console, so problems show up in the data early.

    Can you handle sourcing if parts are scarce?

    Yes. We build multi-source strategies into the BOM so a single end-of-life part or shortage is less likely to stop your line.

    Do we have to have used you for the design?

    No. We take on manufacturing for products we didn't design, starting with a review to catch anything that will bite at scale.
