Turn-Key Design Capabilities

Scanner for MEMS-Based ID Tags

SCT was approached by an early-stage company to design a proof-of-concept platform. A key objective of the project was to keep costs to a minimum, due to limited funds. The platform was intended to support MEMS-based research for demonstrations to potential investors. The platform was key to landing an early customer and supporting it through the initial public offering.

After a successful fundraising round, SCT was re-engaged to productize the solution. We were contracted to deliver the final hardware platform. In addition to design services, SCT will coordinate manufacturing on behalf of the customer, delivering it the finished product.
