From idea to shipped product. One partner, total accountability.
You bring the product vision and the market. ARG designs, builds, tests, manufactures, and ships it — all under one roof, with you in control at every gate.
Get StartedThe Model
You bring the idea. We handle everything in between.
What you bring
Your product concept — a napkin sketch, a working prototype, or a design that needs rescuing. Your market and your customers. Your decision at each gate.
What ARG delivers
Electronics, firmware, mechanical, cloud and customer portal, PCBA, end-of-line test, calibration, and fulfillment — coordinated by one team, with a single point of contact who owns the entire program.
Getting Started
How an engagement works.
A clear path from first conversation to production — scoped, staged, and reviewed at every step.
No-cost call
A short call to understand your product, target volume, and constraints. We’ll sign an NDA first, on request.
Scoped in about a week
A defined scope, timeline, and budget — typically within a week of discovery. No open-ended billing.
Staged with gates
Work is broken into clear phases with a deliverable at each gate, so you see results before committing to the next stage.
The Commercials
One NRE — prototypes and revisions included.
The traditional route means paying NRE more than once and covering every prototype spin along the way. With ARG, design and production live under one roof — so your upfront cost is lower and the path is simpler.
One discounted NRE
Because we build what we design, our NRE is lower than a design-only firm — we earn when you ship, so we’re invested in getting you to production, not billing hours.
Prototypes built in-house, included
Iterations happen on our floor under the NRE — not boards you order and pay for on every spin.
Revisions covered
Design revisions needed to meet your agreed scope are covered under the NRE. We own design-for-manufacturing, so getting it production-ready is on us.
No second NRE, no hand-off
The team that designs it builds it — no duplicate setup fees and no risky tech transfer to an outside manufacturer.
Every program is scoped and quoted up front — no open-ended billing. Engagements run from a quick architecture study (around $10K) to a full NPI program (well over $1M) — EVT, DVT, PVT, production, testing, and field support, with manufacturing & fulfilment run from our Guadalajara facility. Your NRE is discounted when you commit to building with us — and if you’re not ready for a full build, the architecture study is the place to start.
The Work
One team, four phases — concept to volume.
Design
Requirements, architecture, electronics, firmware, and mechanical design — developed together, not in sequence.
Prototype
First articles built and brought up in our lab — electronics, firmware, mechanical, and cloud working as one system.
Pilot
Production processes, end-of-line test fixtures, and calibration validated on a pilot run before volume.
Production
Volume manufacturing, enclosure fabrication, end-of-line test, calibration, branded packaging, and drop-ship to your customers — run through ARG’s facilities.
Design + Manufacturing
Designed in the US. Built in-house.
Design happens in our Philadelphia lab; the building happens under the same accountability — not handed to an offshore contract manufacturer you never meet. PCBA assembly, enclosure machining, end-of-line test, calibration, and fulfilment all run through ARG.
One team owns the build
The people who designed your product also manufacture it. DFM isn’t a document thrown over a wall — it’s the same engineers making sure the board they drew is the board that gets built, tested, and calibrated.
Nearshore, not offshore
ARG manufactures in North America — no 12-hour time zones, no opaque supply chains, no IP left in a factory you can’t audit. Your design and your data stay with the team that built them.
Built to scale
We’re expanding into dedicated product cells at our Guadalajara facility — a multi-year ramp that grows volume capacity while keeping design, build, and test under one roof.
Why It Works
Why one partner beats stitching vendors together.
Tight integration
Electronics, firmware, mechanical, and cloud are designed together. A change in one is immediately checked against the others — issues that usually surface between vendors are caught on day one inside our team.
Single accountability
One partner owns the product from spec to shipment. No finger-pointing between design and manufacturing. No requirements lost in translation between firms.
Speed, in-house
Design, build, and test happen in one place, so iterations take hours, not weeks. By the time we reach volume, every process is validated and every failure mode understood.
