Pivot started from the customer’s lab prototype and undertook a rapid commercialization redesign effort. A redesign was required for Design for Manufacturing (DFM) considerations, along with significant cost reductions utilizing a mix of COTS and custom-designed components. All functionality and performance were maintained while achieving a rugged and field-ready product that was compliant for certification and provided good battery life and wireless communication range. The customer achieved a substantial market advantage thanks to these attributes and the accelerated project schedule Pivot was able to offer.
