At Henway, we help expanding businesses overcome hardware and software challenges by providing custom PCB design and manufacturing solutions, ensuring reliable and affordable product development.
Two brothers with mechanical and electrical engineering backgrounds developed a product that transmits machine maintenance data in (very) remote locations via a cellular connection. Imagine an 8-hour trip to the top of a mountain to perform a routine check on something.
As their business expanded, they stretched thin, unable to devote time to crucial hardware/software upgrades and bug fixes. They struggled to keep up with customer demand. Programming, testing, and managing issues with their current contract manufacturer became too much. They needed to regain control of the situation. They were looking for one company that could whisk away their problems and handle everything for them at a reasonable cost.
After hearing about their situation, we proposed a small project to kick things off. During this project, we opened the hood and identified their main issue due to their Arduino code’s limitations. We then provided an estimate for replicating their design onto a custom PCB using a more advanced processor and a U-Blox module. We also provided them with estimated production costs and a detailed project roadmap so they could decide how to proceed.
Without a reliable PCB design and manufacturing partner, the brothers’ business could have continued to face inefficiencies, slow responses, and higher costs, potentially hindering their growth and customer satisfaction.
By teaming up with Henway, the brothers’ tackled their technical challenges, enabling them to concentrate on expanding their business. Contact us.
