Did you know that up to 80% of electronic design success may be dependent on quality firmware?
This is because smart PCB design can be future proof the product where firmware updates can enhance and upgrade the functionality without the need for a hardware upgrade. In some cases, such firmware upgrades can simply by delivered via the cloud.
Developing a future-proofed PCB design is an innovative way of making product development more cost-effective. Our team is highly skilled in thinking about future use cases, additional functionality and making sure hardware can support future requirements.
With this approach, we can help to:
The field of electronic product design has seen rapid growth over the past few years, with a particular focus on firmware and software development. These technologies have revolutionised the way we interact with electronic products, from smartphones to home appliances. Firmware and software development are integral components of the product design process, allowing designers to create products that are efficient, user-friendly, and highly functional.
With advancements in technology, firmware and software development have become increasingly complex. The developers at Bentech stay up-to-date with new tools and techniques to ensure our products meet consumer expectations.
Firmware, often referred to as embedded firmware, refers to the code written to control a device’s hardware components. It is responsible for managing data flow between different parts of an electronic product and ensuring that all functions work seamlessly together. Software development, on the other hand, involves creating programs that run on top of firmware to provide additional functionality, such as product user interfaces (UI) or computer applications.
Depending on the product, updating the embedded firmware that operates its core functions can be an important feature that is often overlooked.
The team at Bentech have extensive experience in updating product firmware remotely, whether it be via a file or a cloud service. As long as there is a data connection to the product, we can do it.
The diagram to the right shows an example where firmware updates are distributed to the operator via a cloud service. Diagnostic reports can be submitted for review and analysis.
