Introduction

Bringing a product from an idea to reality involves several critical stages. At HW Lab, we’ve been navigating these phases with WebScreen, our compact secondary display. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process using WebScreen as an example.

1. Engineering Validation Testing (EVT)

Purpose: In this stage, we focused on validating the core hardware components of WebScreen. This includes ensuring that the AMOLED display and ESP32-S3 microcontroller work as expected, and that they meet the necessary power and thermal requirements.

Our Experience: We tested the initial prototypes for performance under various conditions. This is when we made crucial adjustments, like optimizing the power draw and ensuring the display’s quality.

2. Design Validation Testing (DVT)

Purpose: Here, the goal was to ensure that all components work seamlessly together. We also tested the product’s durability and reliability under typical use conditions.

Our Experience: For WebScreen, this meant creating small batches to test for real-world use. We assessed its durability, checked for any software glitches, and fine-tuned the design for better user experience.

3. Production Validation Testing (PVT)

Purpose: The final stage is all about preparing for mass production. This involves refining the manufacturing process, packaging, and ensuring a great customer experience.

Our Experience: We focused on ensuring that WebScreen could be produced at scale without compromising quality. We tested the final assembly process and fine-tuned the packaging to reflect our brand and ensure safe delivery.

Conclusion

Navigating these stages has been crucial for bringing WebScreen from concept to a market-ready product. It’s a journey that requires careful planning, rigorous testing, and a commitment to quality.
