What we design for
- Grip, weight, balance, and control placement
- Drop and impact durability
- Sealing for outdoor and washdown use
- Battery capacity and charging within a compact volume
- Displays, buttons, and feedback that work with gloves and in bright light
Electronics in a small space
Handheld products leave little room for error. We develop the board outline, battery, and housing together, and apply low-power design to stretch battery life without adding size. Molded housings benefit from our injection molded part design experience.
Rugged and specialized handhelds
Many handhelds work in tough environments. We design for drops, sealing, and gloved use, and bring the same thinking to vehicle displays and HMIs. Handheld device design is part of our product design services.
Frequently asked questions
Can you design the electronics as well as the housing?
Yes. Our mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers develop the device together, which avoids conflicts between the housing and the boards inside.
How do you test ergonomics?
We build looks-like models and prototypes early and put them in users' hands, then refine grip, weight, and control placement based on feedback.
Can you design accessories such as docks and chargers?
Yes. We design docks, cradles, adapters, and chargers, including rugged accessories for enterprise handheld computers.
Do you design for drop testing?
Yes. We design housings and internal structures for drop and impact and support testing to your requirements.
