R&D (Research and Development) is the strategic area responsible for creating, developing, and validating new products, technologies, or improvements, turning ideas into viable, functional, and marketable solutions.
It is the engine of industrial innovation, combining technical knowledge, engineering, prototyping, and testing — from conception to industrialization.
A good R&D not only creates but delivers solutions ready to manufacture, test, and scale with quality.
🧠 What does the R&D cycle involve?
| Stage | Typical Activities |
|---|---|
| Technical Research | Benchmarking, feasibility analysis, technology selection |
| Conception | Specifications, electrical schematics, hardware/software requirements |
| Prototyping | Boards, mockups, initial functional tests |
| Validation | Functional tests, firmware, sensors, consumption, communications |
| Integration with Production | DFT, documentation, product release, NPI support |
