Designing A New Product From POC And
Prototyping To MVP And Production - Miracle
Electronics Whenever a new product is to be
introduced into the market, it needs to undergo
lots of trials and changes before the final
product is manufactured. When an idea comes up
into a brilliant mind, it is then pondered over
to create a design. The design is then
considered from every angle, and the required
changes are made before a prototype is made.
But, even after the prototype is built, it isn't
a guaranteed sample of the final product. There
are many changes made even in the prototype
before the final design is confirmed. Through
all of this, there are specific steps to be
followed, ultimately culminating in full-scale
manufacturing.
Step 1 Proof Of Concept (POC) POC or proof of
concept is the first step of the process, which
gives you a chance to qualify whether your idea
about the new product is
2
feasible or not. It helps narrow down the
important signal integrity, power integrity, and
DFM requirements that are needed for your new
product. The POC can help identify any layout
problems and manufacturability challenges with
your new product before you put it into
full-scale production. In this way, by defining
the functionality requirements for your new
product, the POC significantly impacts the
prototype and MVP design process (about which you
will learn later in this blog). Step 2
Prototype Once a basic board has been developed
for initial testing, and any errors in the POC
are identified, a functional prototype is
ready to be designed (https//www.miracle.net.in/
blog/build-pcb- prototype/). The prototype
should be made such that it can be tested for
functionality in its intended environment. Just
like the POC helps identify issues that affect
electrical behaviour, similarly the prototype
helps to test things like overall function of the
product, the embedded software, and the user
experience all in the intended environment.
Because a POC is tested in a lab, every kind of
functional issue cannot be identified. But, when
a prototype is made to work in a real
environment, it helps identify every design
problem, and completely qualifies the components
and functionality of the new product. Once all
the design issues are identified, the final
changes are made before producing an MVP.

Step 3 Minimum Viable Product (MVP) This is the
final design phase, the first scaled production
run, where a new product is produced with the
minimum level of desired functionality. It will
resemble the final product to a large extent, but
will be a limited release, before a huge scale
production. You can that an MVP is when you
produce a small amount to test the market for
your new product and gather more detailed
feedback from the users, than you would receive
in earlier design phases. With all of these
complexities, and an understanding of every phase
of designing, it is advisable that you have an
experienced professional take care of every new
product you want to invent. Miracle Electronics
is one such experienced and reliable manufacture
who can help you every step of the way when you
are looking for a new product introduction. It
isn't for no reason that Miracle Electronics is
considered as the best PCB, transformer,
inductor, and wire harness manufacturers from
India. For more Information https//www.miracle
