Design Thinking Service & Product Strategy

Sometimes hours of strategy and user development can be saved by looking into your competitors. By identifying key components and their interrelationships, you can supplement your product strategy with valuable information about speed and other quality metrics. You will also form an idea of your competitors' cost of production and possibly adjust your business plan.

Electrical Engineering

By opening the competitor's case, you will understand what is responsible for processing the external interfaces, where the debug interfaces (UART, JTAG) are located and which component contains the main firmware. The architecture of the board will inform you what manufacturing techniques were used, and what the approximate cost of the competitor's electronic stuffing is. Subsequently, you can update the component base to use modern components: higher performance, lower price, purchase availability.

Firmware Development

Our engineers can read the firmware from the flash memory with the programmer or deal with the debug pins. Thereafter, we will deal with the structure of the dump, received earlier, and bring it to a form available for analysis. We will learn what exactly runs in the firmware and its order: starting with which ports the device listens to, how it processes the incoming data and which commands it executes.

Product R&D

It makes no sense trying to solve a crossword puzzle without reading the questions. It is just as foolish to start reverse engineering without first exploring the initial data. In the operation of complex systems, an important stage in reverse engineering is the study of operating principles and algorithms. The research stage helps recreate the methodologies and technologies used in the device.

Proof-of-Concept Prototyping

Reverse engineering also involves a proof-of-concept stage. When we know how our competitor works, we need to assemble a model of our device and test our approach. It may turn out that the used technology works only in a certain device architecture. Without a proof of concept, the project can not move forward. Here, 3D scanning and printing services can be used.

Mold Manufacturing & Tooling

Your manufacturing capabilities, as well as the manufacturing technology, will have a great impact on the end product. Producing molds and tooling is not the cheapest way to manufacture a product. Reverse engineering allows you to evaluate the manufacturing processes your competitors use. By getting to know them, you can gain a business advantage by using new approaches in production.
