Electronic Product Development

Developing an electronic product – whether it’s a completely new idea or an upgrade to an existing system – can be a complex task. At TAD electronics, we aim to make that process as smooth and efficient as possible, delivering high-performance solutions tailored to meet your exact needs. We offer end-to-end support from concept through to manufacturing, ensuring every stage is handled by experts who understand both the technical and commercial aspects of electronics.

Summary

Electronic product development at TAD Eelectronics turns ideas into reliable hardware, fast. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy system or building something new, we take responsibility for the full journey – requirements, architecture, components, firmware and user interfaces – then prove it in the lab and in the field. We design for performance, manufacturability and long-term service, so what ships is robust, maintainable and scalable. We also handle the commercial realities – costed BOMs, lead times and compliance – so your product arrives market-ready. And for the vast majority of projects, we don’t charge for development, so getting to the right design is a genuinely low-risk partnership for you.

On this page, you’ll see how we move from discovery and requirements into detailed design and planning, through prototyping and testing, into manufacturing and lifetime support. You can dive deeper into the disciplines we draw on – control systems, telemetry, specialist and fully bespoke designs – and how we keep programmes moving with supply chain development and long-term maintenance. We also outline our collaborative, flexible engagement model, from working alongside your engineers to turnkey delivery, and how TAD Labs can support promising start-ups with both technical input and investment to accelerate time-to-market.

Control Systems

Designing reliable, user-friendly interfaces that stand up to heavy use in industrial or commercial settings.

Zero-Carbon and Ultra-Low Power Electronics

As the demand for more sustainable and energy-efficient technologies grows, the ability to develop electronics that consume less power and reduce carbon emissions has never been more important. At TAD, we’re at the forefront of this shift – designing solutions that do more with less, while aligning with broader environmental goals.

From concept to completion

Our product development process is guided by collaboration and innovation. We’re not just a team of designers and engineers - we’re partners in your journey to create technology that drives real results. We take your initial ideas, requirements and challenges, and transform them into market-ready products.

We begin by learning about your objectives, existing infrastructure, and any unique constraints. This stage allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs and outline a clear roadmap.

Next, we create detailed system designs, schematics, and project plans. We focus on balancing performance, cost, and scalability, ensuring your end product meets both technical and budgetary requirements.

Before moving into large-scale production, we build prototypes to validate our design assumptions and test functionality in real-world conditions. This agile approach enables quick iterations and improvements.

Once prototypes are approves, we transition to manufacturing. Our production processes are designed for efficiency and quality control, ensuring each unit meets the highest standards.

We don’t just hand over the final product and call it a day. Our team provides ongoing support, including software update, hardware refurbishments, and performance monitoring.

Case Studies

We’re proud of the diverse range of projects we’ve undertaken - from advanced control systems to rugged telemetry devices. Our case studies showcase:

  • Real-world problem-solving - Each project highlights how we overcame unique challenges - like Leamouth Bridge.
  • Measurable results - See the tangible impact on our clients’ businesses - like Hultsteins.
  • Transferable insights - Discover how similar approaches could benefit your own projects - like we used between VirCru and Coldeye.

Capturing and transmitting data is at the heart of modern electronics. Explore how our telemetry solutions provide real-time insights, even under demanding environmental conditions.

Have a unique challenge? Our specialists are here to tackle complex projects, whether that means integrating specialised sensors or working within extreme physical constraints.

When off-the-shelf options don’t quite fit, we create bespoke systems tailored to your exact specifications. Learn how we combine creativity with technical engineering excellence.

Managing component sourcing, logistics, and production timeline can be daunting. We handle the end-to-end supply chain process to keep your project on track.

Our commitment doesn’t stop at delivery. We offer continuous support, monitoring, and upgrades, ensuring your product remains efficient and effective for years to come.

Collaboration and flexibility

A significant aspect of our product development philosophy is flexibility. We know each project is unique - some clients come to us with a fully realised concept, while others have only a sketch of an idea. Wherever you land on that spectrum, we adapt our services to align with your goals. We’ll work alongside your in-house engineers, collaborate with stakeholders, or even take the lead on a turn-key basis.

We’re also keen to offer investment support and industry-specific expertise to help you go beyond the ordinary. Our TAD Labs initiative, for example, provides startups with the technical and financial backing needed to fast-track breakthrough technologies to market.

Innovation through engineering excellence

At our core, TAD is a team of problem-solvers. We bring together electronics engineers, software developers, project managers, production operatives, and so many more who specialise in making technology work in challenging environments. Whether it’s a control system that withstands rugged field conditions or a telemetry solution that requires ultra-low power consumption, we pride ourselves on finding elegant, sustainable answers.

We understand that product development is about more than just circuits and code. It’s about crafting solutions that genuinely add value. That’s why we incorporate user-centric design principles and aim to future-proof our systems to avoid obsolescence. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements - like IoT integration and energy-efficient architectures - we help you stay ahead of market demands
