US-based leading innovator of high energy ignition and flame detection technology products widely used in power generation, utility, petrochemical, industrial, marine, and green environment industries. The company has built flame detection products using process-intensive technology that can detect flame from fossil fuels.
The client has old products with proven design which was required to undergo reverse engineering to recover hardware source files without any change to actual products. It was very critical to leverage this proven technology while coming up with feature enhancements, Due to the lack of an in-house skill set to perform such work client was looking for a partner with a proven track record.
VOLANSYS has performed reverse engineering on the smart spark devices and redesigned using the Eagle tool. There are 3 smart spark devices and each product variant contains 2 boards, so a total of six boards that will undergo reverse engineering. The nature of the product demanded that reverse-engineered source files generate the exact same outcome with zero variance in track sizes, pitch, or component footprints. This entire scope will enable clients to do any future modifications/updates to these products with ease.

Hardware Engineering
Reverse Engineering Process
- Expert resource has delivered work in 2 weeks saving half of the estimated time & cost proposed by existing vendor
- Helped client with the source file which removed the dependency and expenses of creating completely new designs for any future upgrades in the product
