How Mateligent iDEAS Inc.’s Customization Works
Customization is undertaken to ensure that sensors are optimized to meet the requirements of the use case. Customization most often involves the development of sensors with unique size and shape requirements. A more detailed level of customization involves manipulation of the physical properties of the sensors to optimize performance in more exacting applications. Electronics engineering is sometimes required according to project specifications.
One of the first questions we will ask is, “What do you want to measure?” From this reference point, the process begins. During one or two conversations, Mateligent will learn about your use case, assess feasibility, and generate a proposal. When assessing feasibility, we consider the concept from initial prototyping all the way to eventual high-volume production. Before proceeding with a project proposal, Mateligent first seeks to use existing sensors to meet requirements. This can alleviate the time and expense associated with the design and production of new tooling.
As part of developing a project proposal, Mateligent requires a high level of confidence that the sensors will be successful for the intended purpose, reducing technical risk, avoiding hidden project costs, and helping to keep the project on time. If we think an alternate sensing technology is more appropriate to meet the project requirements, we will recommend it.
Electronics are another dimension to consider in any project. Customers may prefer to supply their own electronics, use Mateligent’s, or develop new project-specific electronics. Mateligent is flexible in any situation.
From the start of a sensor customization project to the first production of several hundred units, a typical lead time is three months. This includes design and design revisions, tooling production and validation, and initial production. The initial production yields several hundred top-quality sensors that are ready for use. This is often sufficient volume to support all pre-launch development and beta testing.
Mateligent is often consulted for advice regarding the integration of the sensors into devices and also for production partners for the completed devices. Mateligent also offers prototype design and assembly capabilities as part of the customization process.
Customization extends beyond sensors to include the design, development, and fabrication of specialized arrays and testing devices used in product development, product testing, quality control, and production settings. These devices rely on Mateligent sensors that are assembled into low volumes of completed devices that are used by engineers and technicians as tools to do their work.
