The hardware development process generally includes several key stages:
Conceptualization: This is the initial stage where ideas are generated based on market needs and technological possibilities. Design: Once a concept is chosen, detailed designs are created, often using CAD software. This stage includes both the electrical and mechanical aspects of the hardware. Prototyping: A prototype is built to test the design and functionality. This is a crucial step for identifying any potential flaws or improvements. Testing: The prototype undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets all specifications and regulatory requirements. Production: After successful testing, the hardware is moved to mass production. Launch and Post-Launch: The product is launched in the market, and post-launch support is provided to address any issues that arise.
