Tailored Service

Acuity Electronics' mission is to take a leading role in the design of your electronics-based product.  Although no two jobs are the same, in a typical development project the service offered would normally include many of these:

write a functional specification for the product, and get it agreed
ensure compliance with safety, emc and any other formal approvals regulations
design the electronics, including any programmable chips
liaise with other engineers on the same project
produce design support documents including parts lists, circuit description, manuals
publish a project plan, and track progress
organise prototype build, functional test and compliance testing

By partnering with other specialists or the client's own design engineers, the service can include PCB layout, mechanical design, and embedded software.

Quality

Every customer will receive a consistently high quality of service during the development, regardless of whether the work is carried out at their own premises or in Acuity Electronics' office.  The guiding principles follow industry best practice:

A Design Specification records key decisions and technical descriptions, for handover to the client's staff at the end of the project.
All work is backed up frequently, normally weekly during active development, and the backups are stored away from the office.
A weekly written report is provided recording progress, setting short-term goals, and highlighting any problem areas.
At the outset, review points are set at which the client will be invited to check and approve the work before it progresses to the next step.

Confidentiality

The identity of one client is never disclosed to another without permission.
