Blog 25. Provide off-the-shelf samples

In blogs 7 and 8, I described how to capture requirements for electronic expansion equipment.

In blog 7, I refined the requirements from the environment restrictions, and in blog 8, I captured additional requirements.

The next activity is to propose equipment solutions matching the electronic expansion requirements.

However, for some requirements, it may be challenging for some people to understand their consequences, and experimentation with different solutions can be beneficial.

But note the experimentation results should not be automatically included in the solution, it should only give knowledge of the possible solutions and how to document them. Thus, such activity is called prototyping, so do not mix that up with formal development.

The way to Prototype is to order samples from imaginable and fitting suppliers. For electronics solutions, it would be good to have a more miniature laboratory and build up the equipment for testing.

To sum up, if requirements seem too hard to understand and to match with appropriate solutions, strain the reality to get solution ideas to come forward.

In the next blog, I will show proposed solutions for my requirements, either by studying supplier data sheets or ordering samples and getting my hands on them at the laboratory desk.
