Embedded product design needs experienced people, expensive simulation tools and modern
equipment — along with concept design, software platforms, mechanical subassemblies,
circuit simulation and regulatory certification. For most OEMs, getting all of that under
one roof is difficult, and rapid technology change makes the investment unattractive.
That is where a partner like IGDS earns its place.
IG Drives and Systems (IGDS) offers a wide range of embedded design services intended to
transform an idea into a complete product: system architecture, hardware design, software
design, mechanical design, prototyping, validation, regulatory certification and pilot
production.
With expertise in every phase of the product life cycle, we bring experience designing
products across medical, high voltage, power and energy, measurement instruments, defence,
industrial, consumer electronics, automation and wearables. Through skilled personnel,
current tools, a well-equipped lab and trusted eco-system partners, our team handles
projects ranging from small form factor designs to multi-board systems.
