We're here to innovate for our clients

Inventive Solutions for Real Problems

We're prepared to evaluate all possible technology solutions to find the one best suited to solving our customers' problems. We don't provide one-size-fits-all technology, but custom solutions to fit your individual needs.

Innovative and Patentable Designs

With years of engineering experience, we've been the designated owners or inventors of many US Patents. If your product is unique, we can create a solution ready to be submitted for a patent.

Client-Owned Intellectual Property

The solutions created for your project are yours. We're not here to make things difficult; we just love inventive engineering. You own the Intellectual Property for your project, even if Ciholas does the work.

The Ciholas Invention Process

Our Project Managers and Engineers spend the time necessary to truly understand a client’s problem or project and identify how our experience can help. Often, we can suggest new perspectives and approaches based on our knowledge of the latest technologies. We can then create new ideas that can radically change an industry or client’s product line. We enable our clients to become the leaders and disruptors in their markets.

1. Conceptual Analysis

Identify the Problem

Every project can be broken down into a problem that needs a solution. At Ciholas, we specialize in working very closely with our clients to integrate their existing knowledge of the marketplace and product requirements with our technical expertise about the possibilities and associated trade-offs. In some cases, Ciholas has already internally developed certain relevant concepts and algorithms as part of our Intellectual Property portfolio that we can leverage for the client. Our experience with every aspect of the design process allows us to provide unique solutions to today’s problems using the latest technology.

2. Idea Creation

Best Solutions to the Problem

At this stage of our process, we define the electrical, mechanical, and software architecture of the product. The Idea Creation phase establishes a high-level description of what can be developed and how the different system components will work together. This phase also includes research into competing products, evaluation of emerging technologies, and proof-of-concept testing.

3. Engineering Design

Our Expertise at Work

During the design phase of a project, we develop the specific electrical, mechanical, and software components of the system. This involves creating electrical schematics, laying out printed circuit boards, designing RF components, developing solid models of mechanical parts, and programming microcontrollers, processors, and FPGAs. This phase contains the bulk of our development work. To do this, we use several different CAD packages and simulation tools to ensure the design is robust and works properly. We pride ourselves on elegant production-ready solutions, minimizing the number of prototype builds and design revisions.

4. Prototyping/Manufacturing

How We Make You a Leader in your Industry

The design phase concludes with the production of a small quantity of functional prototypes, which are then transitioned into factory production. These prototypes undergo a comprehensive series of engineering tests to validate performance, reliability, and overall design integrity. After any necessary modifications are made, the units are tested and field-trialed by the client--and in some cases, by end users--to ensure real-world performance meets expectations. All accumulated feedback from testing and trials is incorporated into the final production release. From there, Ciholas partners with clients to identify the appropriate manufacturing resources, establish factory acceptance testing procedures, secure regulatory approvals (when required), and provide ongoing production support as needed.

5. Full Product Support

Final Product ≠ End of Relationship

While many engineering firms view final production as the conclusion of their engagement, we see it as just one milestone in a longer partnership. Our experience and expertise allow us to support clients well beyond launch through a range of additional services, including intellectual property strategy, bug tracking and resolution, repairs, product upgrades, and end-of-life planning and management.
