# Machine Vision And Sensing

## Industry

Automotive

## Client Size

$1B+

## Engagement

9 months of expedited design and ongoing production support

#  Problem

The client had a functional, deployed technology that needed to be converted from a $250k cost of goods (COGs) per unit to a much less expensive (target $5k) system on an aggressive production and release schedule.  After finding rejection at the doors of several other design houses, this Client approached BES with a grand vision and a tight timeline for final product launch.

 

 

# Solution

BES leveraged internal and external resources, including local and international manufacturers, to run multiple design and production paths in parallel. This allowed us to circumvent several holiday slowdowns and produce a finalized complex opto-electro-mechanical system in a matter of months instead of years.

## Inputs

- Working specifications document
- Computer vision software development team
- Non-functional POC of updated design concept
- Legacy hardware of functional system
- Fantastic downstream software

## BES Process

- Early proof of concept (POC) prototype
- Prototyping
- Finalization
- Production (first-article in-house manufacture)
- Ongoing Deployment Support

## Standards & Certs

- FCC
- CE
- IC
- ISO11154

## Outcomes

- 9 month concept to device release
- Production run certified for global deployment
- 4 prototype revisions

## Services 

- Mechanical design
- Electrical design
- Heat sink design
- Supply chain setup
- Oversight of certification testing
- Test fixture development
- End of line (EOL) programming and test fixture development
- Overseas component sourcing
- Offshore manufacturing
- Provide manufacturer and assembly training
- Onshore manufacturing
- Quality control
- Integration with internal software team
