What is the process for the first step, Concept Design?

During this first CD stage of the work, the Design 1st team creates products on paper and test the solutions virtually and with hard models if required.  The team defines the physical shape, interface, mechanics of motion and structure that will meet the demands of the users and mother nature.  For electronics products, our team defines the hardware architecture including power, key components,  and connection protocols to other devices and the cloud. Our software team defines the product firmware architecture and APPs required in parallel with the other product planning. Key component identification and cost estimating as well as tactical manufacturing assembly strategies are defined for full product options review and product selection by the client.
