Client Stories
Client Story #1: Surgical Device Startup
The Problem
A startup company is looking to develop a novel device used in surgical applications but does not have the engineering expertise to turn their idea into a prototype and subsequently develop the project into a production ready design capable of volume production and deployment to the field.
The Solution
Invictus Hardtech was able to help the client refine their concept into a system architecture and then executed on the detailed analysis, design, manufacturing, test & integration, etc. Invictus Hardtech delivered functioning prototypes and all design data and files needed to reproduce the product as well as provide ongoing technical support during validation and transition to volume production.
The Outcome
The client has successfully launched their medical device and is currently producing units in volume production. Invictus Hardtech also trained their team to be able to manage the design and preform basic testing and diagnostics on their own going forward.
Client Story #2: Medical Device Startup
The Problem
A startup medical device company is developing a novel approach to cancer detection requiring a series of custom electronic instruments capable of preforming specific electrical measurements of biological tissue. They lack the engineering expertise needed to develop and manage such instruments on their own.
The Solution
Invictus Hardtech was able to work with the client to understand their needs and take over the research and development of the electronic instruments ultimately delivering multiple versions of the instrument for various applications and use cases. Invictus Hardtech also served as a technical advisor during discussions and negotiations with potential investors, acquisition partners, and vendors.
The Outcome
The client has a portfolio of products for various cancer detection applications and is currently in negotiations with multiple large corporations for partnership and acquisition.
Client Story #3: Aerospace Startup
The Problem
An aerospace company is looking to develop flight control computer systems for a new series of autonomous helicopters. They lack the high-level electrical engineering expertise needed to architect such a system and subsequently complete a detailed design.
The Solution
Invictus Hardtech joined the project team in a consulting and technical management capacity in order to help architect the system, make key technical decision, and distill the overall project into various work products that could then be outsourced to less experienced and more cost-effective resources for execution. Invictus Hardtech provided ongoing support and overall management of the project.
The Outcome
The client was able to successfully develop their initial prototype flight control system needed for integration and field testing of the concept.
Client Story #4: Animal Researcher
The Problem
A researcher is looking to collect data on various animal test subjects and needs a low-cost prototype system capable of reading various sensors and transmitting data wirelessly to a central database for processing and review.
The Solution
Invictus Hardtech was able to develop a system using off the shelf hardware as well as preform the custom embedded software programming and testing of the system.
The Outcome
Invictus Hardtech delivered a functioning system along with all the source code and supporting documentation required for the client to perform their animal studies successfully.
Client Story #5: Industrial Device Startup
The Problem
A startup company developing a product used to control the operation of remotely located infrastructure has encountered unexpected field failures. After a prolonged attempt to diagnose the root cause of the field failures, the client still has not been able to find a cause or solution to their failure problems.
The Solution
Invictus Hardtech was engaged as a consultant to review the clients design documentation and failure reports to diagnose a root cause of the field failures. Several experiments and tests were performed ultimately leading to a root cause diagnosis. Subsequently the required design updates needed to prevent the failure from occurring again were communicated to the client.
The Outcome
The client has updated their design based on the recommendations of Invictus Hardtech and the field failures they were experiencing are no longer an issue.
