Engineering Consulting
Electronic technical consulting offers a key opportunity for businesses and projects to enhance effectiveness and efficiency while reducing risks and ensuring successful project execution. The professional assistance and experience provided by technical consultants are indispensable for organizations and businesses operating in the electronics industry.
1. Tell me what the problem is.
- Contact me using the contact menu option.
- I will provide feedback within a few business days. If I can assist, I recommend a maximum 60-minute online consultation for a fixed fee. During this consultation, please summarize what you need. I will take this information for further consideration and investigate the underlying technical content.
2. I'll bring what technical solutions may work.
- During the next online meeting, for an additional fixed fee, I will verbally explain the technical solutions I am aware of. At this stage, we are only at the outline plan level, without specific details.
- You can also request a written summary of our discussions.
3. Review the proposed solutions, and let me know if we can commence our collaboration.
Moving forward, I will work on the details if you accept my quotation and choose the solution from the draft plans that best suits your needs. It is crucial to clearly define your objectives and communicate them in writing.
From this point onwards, the process can be time-consuming, depending on the complexity of the task. We will have ongoing discussions to ensure that the implementation aligns with the goals you have set based on my advice.
Here are a few examples where external technical consulting is a fundamental step, often because the client simply gets lost in the details. A "good plan" is the key to success on the path ahead.
Product Development: Electronics technical consultants can assist in the conceptualization, design, and prototyping of new electronic products. For example, a company developing smart home devices can make the product design process more efficient and competitive with the help of consultants.
Optimizing Manufacturing Processes: Efficiency and quality are crucial in electronic manufacturing. Technical consultants can help analyze and optimize manufacturing processes to reduce defects, increase production capacity, and reduce costs.
Circuit Design: In electronic circuit design, technical consultants can provide expertise to enhance circuit efficiency and reliability. For instance, a mobile phone manufacturer can optimize circuit designs for longer battery life and better performance with the assistance of consultants.
Regulatory and Safety Consulting: Electronic products must comply with strict regulations and safety requirements. Technical consultants can assist in regulatory compliance and optimizing product safety. For example, a medical device manufacturer can ensure that their products meet various healthcare regulations with the help of consultants.
Supplier Relationship Management: Supplier networks are critical in the electronics industry. Technical consultants can help in supplier selection, evaluation, and relationship management to ensure a steady supply of quality components and materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does technical consulting cost?
The cost of the first two consultations, the main elements of which you can see at the top of this page, will be provided in writing upon request. These consultations will take us up to the outline solution without detailed specifics.
What follows afterward brings the technical content to the client. Clearly, the price is a crucial aspect for everyone. Nevertheless, I don't have a general answer because there are technical issues where I can provide the technical content within a few days during the consulting, and then there are cases that require months of persistent work to support with a very complex compact technical solution. What's certain is that I adhere to the offer provided during contract negotiation. The contract defines specific points, and upon achieving those points, we can conclude the agreement both financially and in terms of content.
2. On which platform can we have an online conversation?
Generally, one of Google Meet, Zoom, or Skype, but if there's a need for another 'free' platform, I'm open to suggestions.
3. In which subject areas does consulting operate?
In short, almost any topic related to electronics or electronics-related is welcome, even if it has a software aspect. In the latter case, I aim to include specific software development companies in the proposal list as well.
Without claiming to be exhaustive: sensors, data transmission, measurement methods, solutions involving human and data security, specialized and industrial circuits.
