Hi, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for small-medium electronics design firms based in the UK, Scotland ideally.
I am looking to potentially outsource the electronic hardware and embedded firmware aspects of a product development roadmap and currently assessing viability.

The electronic design involves photodiode front ends, temperature measurement, A/D conversion, some lightweight algorithms, a simple display, industrial comms (4-20mA, modbus), and power supply/conversion. The firmware design is equally straightforward. Any experience with Ex-compliant products will be beneficial, but there is no requirement for intrinsically-safe design. Here is my current list:

- A2E, Scotland based, unresponsive.
- Bitbox, England based, no response.
- Exalon Delft, Netherlands based, waiting for response.
- Any others you would recommend?

Any pointers/recommendations will be very helpful.

Alex

Birmingham based but has done a great job with my embedded electronics products.
This project sounds like his bread and butter. He does a lot of industrial control, sensing and alarm, CNC, user interface etc

Surprised BitBox has been silent.  I've dealt with them in the past (and worked there!) and they've always been sharp on the responses.

Are your emails being trapped in some kind of spam filter? Do you use a commercial email address (@orgname.com) or an @gmail.com address?

Hi Alex,

It sounds as though I may be able to help you with your project. Are you able to share contact details so we can perhaps have a chat?

Andy.

Thanks Jackster, I'll drop them a line.

No idea tom66, corporate domain and g-suite; never had an issue. Maybe you can PM me the contact info for some business dev person?

AndyC, will do.
