FROM CONCEPT TO MANUFACTURE
Your idea, our expertise, together we can make it happen
IDEA TESTING
Testing the Concept
You believe you have a good idea. Let’s test that. Let’s start with a conversation and some good honest feedback. Can what you want to do work? Chances are we can offer some useful comment at this point. We can ask some questions. And then we can perhaps make some suggestions as to how your concept might be more economically and robustly engineered. Your idea – our experience and expertise! Let’s have a workshop!
DESIGN AND PROTOTYPE
Great Ideas need great Designs
We will take your concept and turn it into an electronic schematic; a product design. We will then create a printed circuit board and order the components necessary to build a prototype. Then we will power up the prototype and demonstrate that your concept can work. Great ideas need great designs!
MANUFACTURE
Let's Build this Thing!
Parts need to be sourced and stocked. We are experienced in the procurement of electronic components. Dealing with end of life component notifications and ensuring that replacement parts continue to meet the necessary specifications for the products they are installed into is essential to ensuring that the product we build today is the same product we created years ago. Making the same great product over and over and over again!
Good ideas don’t get you to market just because they are good ideas!
Getting your product market ready needs a process….
Idea Testing - Design & Prototype - Manufacture
THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
Good ideas are just that…good ideas. Until you can take the concept and turn it into a real working prototype you have nothing to show to your market and thus nothing to sell.
In all liklihood you understandably have some concerns about how you might protect your IP. We get that. So the first thing we will do is to ensure we sign a confidentiality agreement. Senztek does not want your IP and we will go to some lengths to ensure you are comfortable when working with us.
In all likelyhood you are a 'start up'. What this means is that we need to ensure that we use your valuable resources carefully. We will keep you in the loop every step of the way. Senztek will offer you the best design and prototype rates available. We can do this because if you are sucessful, we get to manufacture your product.
WHY THE PROBLEM EXISTS
Electronic design is a fascinating combination of learned discipline and creative passion. Not everyone has this complex mix of skills. Great electronic designs work because someone has applied clever technology to a real world problem.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
The Senztek process makes us a little different!
We don’t want your intellectual property. Its your idea…its your property. What we do want is to help you convert your IP into a tangible product that can take you into your chosen market.
We will be transparent. We will be up-front with the costs we incur as we bring your idea to life. And we will offer some of the best design and manufacturing fees available. We do this because we value a long-term relationship and the opportunity to build your products.
HOW WE WORK...
The Senztek process makes us a little different. We will work with you to take your idea from concept to manufacture. Ours is a complete end to end service. Once your idea has been tested and prototyped we can then manufacture your new product. And we will do this in a way that supports your journey into your new market.

MAKE ROBUST
Prototypes are fun. This is the first time perhaps that you have seen your great idea actually doing something. It lives for the first time. It might even do something useful. Now however, we need to make it robust enough to work in real world situations. We have to help the prototype grow up and become a fully functioning working unit. We live in the real world…will your idea survive in this environment?
MICROPROCESSOR DESIGN
Unless your idea is very simple, chances are it will need a microprocessor to make the magic happen. This is our strong suit. This is what we do. Our team are superbly trained and matched to this task. The prototype now becomes a very real proposition. It begins to look like a product. Micro’s rock!
MAKE PRODUCTION READY
How many do you need? Just a few. No problem we can do this with little additional work required. If, however your product is going to need to be produced in any sort of quantity then we need to work some more magic. We will get the product to a point where it can be manufactured economically, quickly, and robustly. One or one thousand – makes no difference to us…we can build what you need!
MANUFACTURE
Parts need to be sourced and stocked. We are experienced in the procurement of electronic components. Dealing with end of life component notifications and ensuring that replacement parts continue to meet the necessary specifications for the products they are installed into is essential to ensuring that the product we build today is the same product we created years ago. Making the same great product over and over and over again!
ONGOING SUPPORT
Our job does not end just because a product has been created. Ensuring that the product can continue to be made into the future is essential. And of course, today’s good idea needs to be supported into the future with upgrades, new features, and clever new ways of meeting the customers’ needs. Our work is never done!
