Product Design
From Prototypes to Production
We develop your product all the way from your first idea to mass production. With in-house rapid prototyping and global manufacturing partners, we go from 1 unit to 10,000.
End to end product design
Your ideas to a finished product
Here at Ovon we implement industrial design in everything we do, so that your products can be manufactured quickly, safely and in volumes appropriate to your market.
From software design to hardware design to getting through those tricky legal compliance checks, Ovon are there to help.
Take a look at our simple process below:
Idea Mapping
We work with you to scope your idea. We talk to your customers, research your market and look at the latest technological innovations. After this stage we’ll have:
- Detailed technical schematics of your product
- Cost per manufacturing unit including component breakdown
- Product Launching guidelines and market research
Proof of Concept
This is where the fun really begins. You will hold in your hands your prototype product! These first revision hardware and software will provide you and your customers with a real-life experience of your end product. You can expect:
- Fully functional PCB electronics
- 3-D printed plastic enclosures (the external design of your product)
- Functional software that interacts with your hardware
Iterate and Improve
We’re nearing production now, so this is the time we make those final revisions. Finalising the plastic designs, optimising the electronics, tweaking those key software features. This includes alpha and beta testing of the product to give us:
- Production-ready electronics and plastics, your complete product
- Fully functional software that allows for a customisable UI to fit your brand
- Packaging, instruction manuals and accessories
Go to Production
We manage all the legal testing and compliance of your product, using our experience designing your product to avoid any problems. We then work with either our partners or your selected manufacturer to provide tooling and design-ready files to get those big orders filled. Finally, we have:
- A fully legally-certified product ready for mass market
- Tooling for manufacture of your product produced in appropriate volumes
- Design files of your product transferred to factory so you can begin manufacturing

Software Development
Experts in Custom Software for IoT
A cutting-edge solution
Your Software Defines Your Customer Experience
Your users want an easy to use interface and a reliable software, and your business needs a robust and scalable infrastructure to bring the best-connected product to market. With our integrated approach, we can cater for your needs.
Agile Development
We focus on rapidly prototype to minimise time and costs. We will test every idea with you and your customers so you can get feedback from the very early-stage of your project.
Bespoke Software Development
React, Python, Github, Java, ZigBee. We know software development can sound like a different language! We can work in a variety of coding languages to make sure we deliver the most valuable solution for your business.
Clean Code Development
Clean code is code that is easy to understand and easy to change. We provide clear, audited code to allow future development and expansion.
We're Cloud Agnostic
Our customers approach us as they cannot find anything that is appropriate for their unique situation. We will assess your needs and then will recommend you the most efficient solution for your business.
We're Protocol Agnostic
We develop using all leading IoT communication protocols, including Thread, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave… If you have a proprietary protocol you don’t need to change the way your organisation works, we will work with you to adapt our technology to your existing software stack.
End-to-End Service
We are not just another provider; we will work with you and your team and will consider all the particularities of your business. We will provide a holistic ecosystem that will be easily scalable, reliable and secure.

Ovon are experts at cloud and embedded firmware development. We utilise the latest stacks and chipsets to ensure your product is future-proof and efficient. We work with the EU DIGIFED programme and Digital Catapult as experts in low-energy development for RF communication including 5G NB-IoT and BLE.
Our cloud engineers develop according to your requirements. We use AWS, Azure or alternatives such as ARM Pelion so that your cloud meets your hardware’s needs, cutting costs and simplifying architecture.
Hardware Design
We build, you benefit
Ovon covers all aspects of hardware development, from PCB development to plastic enclosures.
From consumer sensors to shipping container trackers we can design according to your needs.
A product that fits your needs
Hardware brings your vision to life
There’s no better experience than that first, tangible handling of your new device. Our experienced, in-house, hardware development team are here to help. Let our electrical, mechanical and firmware engineers build your perfect product.
Bold Solutions
Break the mould. Here at Ovon, we do what’s best for you and your customers, rather than following the crowd. With agile development and constant iteration we’re never standing still.
Innovative Design
Our mechanical engineers develop patented bespoke solutions that solve specific needs. We use the latest software such as SolidWorks to ensure fast and accurate designs for you.
Production Ready
With our trusted network of partners we can provide full tooling and manufacturing. Through clear milestones, we provide prototype and revision models according to your needs.

Rapid Prototyping
Bring your idea to life...quickly!
Here at Ovon we’re used to tight deadlines. From that important investor meeting to accessing new markets, we know time matters.
With in-house 3D printing and rapid-turn PCB development we iteratively develop your product, giving you have demonstrable products every step of the way.
Prototype Phases Breakdown
The prototyping technology deployed depends very much on the intended purpose. These are some of the phases your prototype may go through:
Initial Product Design
Electronic Prototyping
Software Prototyping
Mechanical Prototyping
Functional Testing
Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.
