From concept to manufacturable product

Custom electronics product development

Electronics are everywhere: in industrial systems, medical equipment, consumer products and smart devices. Behind every successful electronic product is an integrated approach in which electronics, housing, software and product design come together perfectly.
PEZY guides the entire process: from idea and specification to a market-ready, manufacturable and sustainable product.

Analysis: The foundation for a successful product

The foundation of a future-proof electronic product

Every product development starts with a thorough analysis of the application, the user and the environment. Based on this, we establish clear functional, technical and commercial specifications. This forms the solid foundation for a product that performs well in practice.

Companies often come to PEZY with a strong product idea and valuable domain knowledge. By combining this knowledge with our integrated expertise in electronics, mechanics, design and production, we create an efficient development trajectory with minimal detours.

We dive deep early on into all the crucial aspects: usage scenarios, ergonomics, environmental conditions, maintenance, serviceability, production volume, cost targets and the seamless integration of electronics, housing and software.

Usage scenarios and ergonomics

Designed around the user, with a focus on comfort, intuition and ease of use.

Environmental conditions

Robustly designed for reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Maintenance and serviceability

Accessible and thoughtfully designed for efficient maintenance and fast servicing.

Production volume and cost targets

Aligned with scalable production, optimal cost efficiency and manufacturability.

Integration of electronics and mechanics

A balanced design in which all disciplines work together seamlessly.

Standards and CE compliance

Standards and CE marking are integrated into the development process from day one. We take electrical safety, EMC, IP protection, medical standards (where applicable), RoHS, REACH and other relevant directives into account early on. This reduces risks, prevents expensive redesigns and accelerates certification and market launch.

PEZY develops functional, manufacturable and fully standards-compliant products for the industrial, healthcare, tech, consumer and professional markets.

Product Safety

Safety is built in from the first design phase, protecting users, electronics and the environment.

Reliability

Reliability starts with an enclosure that withstands real-world use, mechanical loads and environmental influences.

CE-compliance

We consider CE compliance from the start to reduce risks and accelerate the development process.

EMC

A robust EMC design prevents interference and supports the stable operation of electronic systems.

Certification

By taking standards and regulations into account early, certification becomes more efficient and predictable.

Market introduction

A well considered and compliant design shortens the path from development to successful market introduction.

From concept to manufacturable product

Translating specifications into a feasible and attractive product concept is a key step. PEZY develops complete electronic products that function excellently from a technical standpoint, are efficient to produce and have a strong visual appeal.

We integrate printed circuit board development (PCBA), enclosure, user interface, software/firmware and product design into one coherent trajectory. For higher volumes (from approx. 1,000 pieces) we use injection moulding and other scalable production techniques.

Key points of attention during development:

  • Protection against water and dust (IP ratings)

  • Mechanical robustness and vibration resistance

  • Thermal management

  • EMC performance of the enclosure

  • Assembly and serviceability

  • Integration of PCBAs, displays, connectors and cabling

  • Integration of brand identity and product design

By developing the electronics and enclosure simultaneously, we create an optimal and efficient final design.

Material selection and circular solutions

Material selection influences functionality, lifespan, cost and sustainability. PEZY selects materials based on mechanical, thermal, chemical and aesthetic requirements.

Sustainability is an increasingly important focus. We advise on circular and recycled plastics, biobased materials and designs for disassembly and recycling. This way we reduce the CO₂ footprint without compromising on quality or performance.

  • Engineering plastics
  • Aluminium or other metals
  • Composites
  • Circular or recycled plastics

Prototyping and validation of electronic products

Before a product goes into series production, it is thoroughly validated with prototypes. This ranges from 3D-printed models to functional prototypes and pilot series. In our own production facility in Groningen we can manufacture small series for in-depth testing.

Mechanical functionality testing

To verify that the design is structurally sound and can withstand real-world use, loads, impacts and mechanical stresses.

Thermal behaviour analysis

To optimise thermal management early and keep performance under control.

To evaluate assembly processes

To enable an efficient and scalable assembly process.

To assess the user experience

To validate whether the product is pleasant, logical and convincing to use

To validate water and dust resistance.

To assess whether the enclosure provides sufficient protection against moisture, dirt and other environmental influences.

To assess the light pattern and light guide performance.

To verify whether light distribution, uniformity and appearance meet the functional and aesthetic requirements.

To verify tolerances and fit.

To check whether components, seams and interfaces function consistently within production tolerances.

To validate manufacturability and reproducibility.

To ensure that the design not only works as a prototype, but can also be produced consistently and efficiently at scale.

Tooling and preparation for series production

After successful validation, we prepare the product technically for series production. This includes Design for Manufacturing (DFM) optimisation, production drawings, specifications and tooling development.

We determine the best production strategy: in-house at PEZY for smaller series and complex products, or through reliable partners in the Netherlands and Asia for larger volumes.

The process culminates in a Golden Sample. The reference product for the entire series production.

Design for manufacturability

We optimise the design with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in mind: improved tolerances, assembly options and cost reduction. Components are optimised for injection moulding or other production processes, ensuring smooth and reliable manufacturing.

Production strategy and tooling

We determine where the tooling is developed and production takes place — in-house at PEZY or with reliable partners in the Netherlands and Asia. In-house production offers short communication lines, fast iterations and high quality control (ideal for smaller series). Our partners enable scaling for larger volumes and cost optimisation.

Tooling, samples and golden sample

Once the design and strategy are finalised, we develop the moulds and tooling. The first out of tool samples are produced, thoroughly assessed and optimised where needed. This leads to a definitive golden sample: the reference product that forms the basis for full series production.

Support in the production phase

PEZY actively supports you in supplier selection, technical alignment with manufacturers, further cost price optimisation and sample validation. By aligning design, tooling and the production process perfectly, we create a solid, reliable production chain with minimal risk.

Production and scale-up

After establishing the golden sample, series production can be started. In this phase the focus shifts from development to production, quality assurance and logistics.

PEZY supports customers in starting up and scaling production, both through in-house facilities and international production partners.

This includes, among other things:

  • Starting up and scaling production volumes
  • Quality control and production validation
  • Supply chain and logistics preparation
  • Transport to assembly partners or end customers

By combining local expertise with international production capacity, the right balance can be found for each project between quality, speed and cost.

The result is an electronics enclosure that is not only well designed, but can also be produced efficiently and is ready for a successful market launch.
