We're here to innovate for our clients

Inventive Solutions for Real Problems

We're prepared to evaluate all possible technology solutions to find the one best suited to solving our customers' problems. We don't provide one-size-fits-all technology, but custom solutions to fit your individual needs.

Innovative and Patentable Designs

With years of engineering experience, we've been the designated owners or inventors of many US Patents. If your product is unique, we can create a solution ready to be submitted for a patent.

Client Owned Intellectual Property

The solutions created for your project are yours. We're not here to make things difficult; we just love inventive engineering. You own the Intellectual Property for your project, even if Ciholas does the work.

The Ciholas Invention Process

Our Project Managers and Engineers spend the time necessary to truly understand a client’s problem or project and how we can use our expertise to help. Often, we can suggest new perspectives and approaches based on our knowledge of the latest technologies. We can then create new ideas that can radically change an industry or client’s product line. We enable our clients to become the leaders and disruptors in their markets.

Conceptual Analysis

Identify the Problem

Every project can be broken down into a problem that needs a solution. At Ciholas, we specialize in working very closely with our clients to integrate their existing knowledge of the marketplace and product requirements with our technical expertise about the possibilities and associated trade-offs. In some cases, Ciholas has already internally developed certain relevant concepts and algorithms as part of our Intellectual Property portfolio that we can leverage for the client. Our experience with every aspect of the design process allows us to provide unique solutions to today’s problems using the latest technology.

Idea Creation

Best Solutions to the Problem

At this phase of our process, we define the electrical, mechanical, and software “architecture” of the product. The Idea Creation phase determines a high-level description of what could be developed and how the different system components will work together. This level includes research on competing products, applicable new technologies, and testing proof-of-concepts.

Engineering Design

Our Expertise at Work

During the design phase of a project, we develop the specific electrical, mechanical, and software components of the system. This involves the creation of electrical schematics, laying out printed circuit boards, designing RF components, developing solid models of mechanical parts, and coding for micro-controllers, processors, and FPGAs. This phase contains the bulk of our development work. To do this, we use several different CAD packages and simulation tools to ensure the design is robust and works properly. We pride ourselves on elegant production-ready solutions, minimizing the number of prototype builds and design revisions.

Prototyping/Manufacturing

How We Make You a Leader in your Industry

The design phase concludes with creating a small quantity of functional prototypes. This phase migrates those functional prototypes to factory production. First we put the prototypes through a series of engineering tests to fully validate the design. Then, after completing any necessary modifications, the units are tested and field trialed by the client (and sometimes the end users). The final piece of the process is to roll all the accumulated test feedback into a final production release. Ciholas then works with our clients to find the proper manufacturer, set up factory acceptance tests, acquire regulatory acceptance (if necessary), and support production as needed.

Full Product Support

Final Product ≠ End of Relationship

While other engineering firms see final production as the end of their relationship with their clients, there are various other services that our experience and expertise help to provide. This could include Intellectual Property, Bug Tracking, Repairs, Upgrades, and End of Life Processes.
