Electronic Designs
Log-One president Hugues de Milleville has more than 20 years
experience in electronic designs, including analog, digital and micro
controllers. Throughout the course of his career, and with his present team at
Log-One, he has designed numerous products.
a)
Design only:
You tell
us what you want to do, we sign a letter of non-disclosure, and we design the
product for you.
 | What
differentiates Log-One from most other electronic design companies is that
we know how to listen. We have
a wealth of experience in electronics design and will make recommendations
on how to best implement your idea. At the same time we recognize your
experience and vision, and know when to stop insisting on a “better way
to do things” in order to respect your ideas. |
When the product is finished we provide you with one or two prototypes together with the component list, the electronic schematic(s) and the object code (if applicable). It is now up to you to decide if you would like us to manufacture your product or if you prefer to look for another company.
The design steps are the same as those outlined above. We give you an estimate to manufacture the assemblies, and if you find that our price is competitive you subcontract us. We manufacture both for ourselves and for other companies for whom we have designed products. This means we buy components in large quantities and usually can be very competitive when we manufacture your product.
In order to protect your original idea, it is common procedure for Log-One to sign a letter of “non-disclosure”.
Steps
involved in an electronic design:
1) Telephone / fax / e-mail contact for first exposure to the concept, conflict of interest review, signing of letter of non-disclosure.
2)
First
meeting: full disclosure of the idea, feasibility, market study, quantity…
3)
Quote
from Log-One.
4)
Thirty
per cent (30%) deposit
5)
Design
done on “bread board” and electronic schematics completed on computer
6)
Review
by the customer to ensure the “bread board” design operates as per
specifications. If not: modification of the design until customer is
satisfied.
7)
Customer agrees that
the “prototype” operates as per specs. Thirty per cent (30%) payable upon
acceptance by customer.
8)
Log-One designs the Printed
Circuit Boards (PCB) and orders a
prototype. Log-One mounts one full assembly and gives it to the customer for
“beta testing”. At this stage all the hardware must be fully functional;
software modifications can still be implemented.
9) The customer ensures the design is working as intended. The remaining fort
10)
Log-One provides an
estimate to manufacture the product; the customer can shop around to obtain
the best price.
11)
Manufacturing starts.
Notes:
a)
We evaluate your idea at the outset and before you fully disclose
it we are always honest in declaring any potential conflict of interest either
with Log-One or with any previous design for another company.
b) As a general rule we do
not become involved in designs where the customer thinks s/he has a good idea
and is looking for a partner to develop it. Our invoices are payable in full,
not with company shares.
Our R & D department is equipped for analog and digital
designs. We have all the development tools and programming knowledge for Intel
(and compatibles), Philips, Atmel, and Microchip micro controller designs.
