RDS Engineering Support Capabilities:

Partnering for Success in Complex Projects

At Review Display Systems, we provide the engineering expertise and collaborative support needed to bring complex projects to life.

Our dedicated teams in the UK and US deliver end-to-end engineering services across sectors.

From concept development through to production, we ensure your custom electronics, displays, and IoT systems meet exacting specifications and perform reliably in the most challenging environments.

Whether you’re creating a rugged HMI, an AI-powered IoT platform, or a mission-critical defence system, we provide the technical knowledge, resources, and partnership to drive innovation and ensure success.

Concept and Feasibility Support

Concept and feasibility support is the essential starting point for successful projects, helping clients transform ideas into viable technical solutions. We offer expert guidance from initial ideation through to proof-of-concept, ensuring risks are minimised, requirements are clearly defined, and innovative yet practical designs emerge ready for development.

Ideation and Consultation: Work closely with our engineers to define project requirements, explore innovative solutions, and assess technical feasibility.
Feasibility Studies: Conduct detailed analyses to evaluate design viability, component selection, and cost-effectiveness for your application.
Proof-of-Concept Development: Create early-stage prototypes using in-house tools like 3D printing and PCB design to validate concepts and refine specifications.

Design and development support at RDS encompasses the full spectrum of hardware and integration expertise needed to create high-performance, custom embedded solutions. Our engineers deliver tailored electronics, advanced displays, intelligent IoT capabilities, and robust connectivity, ensuring systems are optimised for reliability, functionality, and demanding real-world applications.

Custom Electronics Design: Engineer bespoke embedded systems, single-board computers (SBCs), and Box PCs with Intel, AMD, or ARM processors, tailored for performance and environmental resilience (-40°C to +85°C).
Display and HMI Integration: Provide expertise in designing high-brightness TFT LCDs, micro OLEDs, and touchscreens with optical bonding for rugged, user-friendly interfaces.
IoT and AI Integration: Support the development of smart systems with edge AI, machine vision, and secure IoT connectivity (MQTT, LoRa, 5G) for real-time analytics and automation.
Cable and Connectivity: Design custom, overmoulded, and waterproof (IP68) cable assemblies and EMI-shielded connectors for reliable data and power transmission.

Software and Firmware Support

Our software and firmware support at RDS delivers the intelligent, secure, and optimised code that powers high-performance embedded and IoT systems. Our expertise spans custom development, advanced AI integration, and robust security measures to ensure reliable operation, seamless updates, and actionable insights in mission-critical applications.

Embedded Software Development: Provide custom firmware, drivers, and operating systems (Windows, Linux, RTOS) optimised for your hardware and use case.
AI and Analytics Expertise: Develop machine learning models, predictive algorithms, and intuitive dashboards for real-time monitoring and control.
OTA and Security Solutions: Implement secure over-the-air updates and encryption to protect IoT and AI-driven systems from cyber threats.

Prototyping and Testing Support

Prototyping and testing support accelerates project development by turning designs into tangible prototypes and validating them rigorously. We utilise in-house capabilities for rapid iteration and comprehensive compliance testing, minimising risks and ensuring your systems are robust, reliable, and ready for production in demanding applications.

Rapid Prototyping: Leverage in-house 3D printing, PCB assembly, and enclosure fabrication to deliver functional prototypes quickly for testing and iteration.
Comprehensive Testing: Conduct environmental, EMI, and stress testing to ensure reliability under extreme conditions, meeting MIL-STD, ISO 13485, CE, and FCC standards.
Design Optimisation: Provide iterative feedback and refinements to enhance performance, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency.

Manufacturing and Production Support

Manufacturing and production support at RDS ensures a smooth transition from design to volume production, with a focus on efficiency, quality, and long-term reliability. Our expertise in design optimisation, supply chain resilience, and rigorous oversight helps clients achieve cost-effective, compliant manufacturing for even the most demanding embedded and IoT systems.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Collaborate to optimise designs for seamless production, reducing costs and lead times while maintaining quality.
Supply Chain Management: Offer component sourcing, obsolescence planning, and BOM reviews to ensure long-lifecycle availability and cost-effectiveness.
Production Oversight: Provide engineering support during manufacturing to ensure quality control, traceability, and compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.

Post-Deployment Support

Our post-deployment support at RDS ensures your systems continue to perform at their best throughout their operational lifecycle. Our dedicated teams provide expert technical assistance, proactive lifecycle management, and responsive global service to minimise downtime, address evolving needs, and maximise the long-term value of your investment.
