Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping is a fundamental component of A&W's engineering service. Clients can test out a device, algorithm, or application in alternative settings — even with real-world usage scenarios — long before committing to a final product.

System prototyping

We leverage Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other platforms — along with off-the-shelf prototype systems and 3D-printed custom mechanical components — so you can take the system into the field to collect real data samples.

Algorithm development

We create multiple algorithm models for implementation and verification — packaged with sample data generators and visualization tools, from floating-point implementations to bit-exact models that run on embedded hardware.

User interface design

For clinical software, we build wireframe-based UI models across computers, tablets, and smartphones (iOS and Android) to evaluate user experience and workflow before final product release.

The whole picture

Prototyping every block of the system

Our prototypes span the entire sensing system core — from the user interface and algorithms to embedded software, signal processing, the analog front end, and the sensors.

Why it matters

Validate in the real world, early

Prototyping lets you de-risk decisions before they get expensive. Get a working system into the field, gather real data, refine algorithms, and prove out the user experience — all before you commit to a final design.

See how we add AI
  • Quick prototypes from proven building blocks
  • Custom mechanical parts via 3D printing
  • Field-ready systems for real data collection
  • Algorithm models with sample data & visualization
  • Wireframe UIs to validate workflow early
