We offer strategic consulting designed specifically to help our clients draw out a long-term roadmap before embarking on a digital journey. This is a 5-week module which includes a value discovery workshop, assessment, solution development strategy and creation of an implementation roadmap.

Embedded product design requires trained talent, expensive tools, modern equipment, and support services such as industrial design, mechanical design, thermal engineering and regulatory certifications. For original equipment manufacturers, it is often difficult to get all these elements to come together under one roof. We at Happiest Minds offer a wide range of Embedded Design Services that would help to transform an idea into a complete product We offer -.

• Device, Controller, Gateway Hardware Architecture design, PCB design, FPGA design and simulation.
• Firmware Architecture design, OS, Drivers, User interface, Test & Diagnostics, Custom software applications, Support for regulatory compliance certifications and field trails.
• Mechanical enclosure design and Thermal engineering.

Our offering covers designing the edge hardware or bringing in off-the-shelf components as needed. The key emphasis however is on firmware development, edge middleware development, communication protocol integration (including FDI/FDT, OPC-UA) and HMI development.

Apart from helping sustain and enhance the existing platforms, Happiest Minds helps the customers create the next generation platforms based on following elements:

• Cloud Migration with Micro-Services Architecture and WEBAPI
• IIOT Enablement (Azure IoT/AWS IoT/PTC Thingworx)
• Edge processing framework
• Analytics:
  1. Asset analytics for condition monitoring.
  2. Predictive Maintenance for Failure Prevention
  3. Audio: Conversational Interfaces
  4. Video: Person, Face, Gesture
  5. Image: OCR, Image Classification
  6. Text: NLP, Text Mining
• UX and Visualization Apps for both mobile and web

We have developed various frameworks that can be used to enable test automation, continuous integration and deployment for efficiently maintaining and managing a modern industrial infrastructure. Some of these frameworks include – field device test automation frameworks, simulators for BLE profiles and Modbus slave, reference implementation of OPC-UA, API test automation frameworks, selenium-based automation frameworks and DevOps frameworks for both Azure and AWS infrastructure.

We help in creating UX lead secure application workflows to effectively sustain business and plant operations. We get started with a conceptual prototype and UX design workshops. We have helped our clients create native and responsive web applications that support multiple form factors and user devices.

There are two key elements of customer experience which Happiest Minds can help address:

• Connected Field Service Platforms: We facilitate the optimization of existing systems and introduction of newer technologies. The three key aspects which we can address are
  1. AR/VR based training and field repairs
  2. Blockchain based supply chain and fleet optimizations
  3. Improved contract management metrics
• Connect Support and Feedback Platforms: We help you in
  1. Automating work order generation and predictive maintenance
  2. E-Commerce: Identifying parts and accessories across the consumables supply chain
  3. Enhancing the design and quality of products by looking at the usage data, EOL data and health check data.
