ADVISORY CONSULTATION SERVICES:
Your company’s R&D department may have engineers who excel in digital design, firmware, software or RF design, but who have limited knowledge of analog techniques, power control or acoustics. In several instances, DFAD’s depth of experience has been sufficient to bootstrap projects to success with very short consultative engagements. Our casual consultation rate of $125/hr gives a good return on investment.

TEST & MEASUREMENT:
We can provide a variety of test and measurement services:
• Transducer characterisation;
• Equipment performance
  verification;
• Acoustics measurements

Our measurement equipment is maintained in annual calibration, and is carried in road cases for rapid on-site deployment. Site engagements are $175/hr including equipment – or, if you require only our T&M advice or expertise, our casual rate of $125/hr applies.

ELECTRONICS DESIGN:
Whether you require the design of an electronic subsystem, or a complete product, feel free to meet us to discuss your requirements. One of our strengths is our willingness to listen to your ideas and specifications, and discuss methods of achieving your goals, without commitment. Some clever concepts have been born from these discussions!

Our quotes on design projects are made more accurate by these discussions. Feel free to get comparative quotes for your project after talking with us, since our combination of expertise, innovation, high ethical standards and reasonable costs will bring you to us sooner or later.

On completion of a project, ownership of all files and intellectual property for manufacture is passed to the customer. We will always respect and protect your IP rights!

DESIGN & MANUFACTURE:
If your core business doesn’t include electronics manufacturing, you would probably prefer us to design your product or project and manufacture it for you. We can provide a full turnkey design-and-supply service: You give us the product concept; We give you pallet-loads of packaged product.

Even though seeing a product developed from concept to production is never this simplistic, we make it very easy for you. We have developed relationships with a range of industries in order to complement our in-house capabilities in order to provide clients with true turnkey solutions. These include:
• 3D CAD modellers and
  rapid-prototypers;
• Graphic artists;
• Component suppliers;
• PCB fabricators;
• Metalwork shops;
• General assembly houses;
• Compliance Test houses

Whatever your requirements are, simply start by talking to us!
