Services | Product Development

At Zigco, we design and build real, production-ready products. Our work spans mechanical design, embedded systems, software, and automation, delivering integrated solutions from concept through manufacturing.

We support the full development lifecycle, from early concept development and system architecture through detailed design, prototyping, and production. Our focus is on simplicity, durability, and designs that perform reliably in real-world environments.

  • System integration and debugging

AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS

  • Custom automation systems and machine development

  • Industrial automation and PLC-based control systems

  • Robotics programming and motion control

  • Vision systems and inspection automation

  • HMI and operator interface development

  • System integration, commissioning, and validation

PROTOTYPING & PRODUCTION

  • Rapid prototyping using additive and subtractive methods

  • CNC machining and 3D printing

  • Functional prototyping, testing, and iteration

  • Low-volume builds and pilot production

  • Design for manufacturing and production readiness

  • Manufacturing transition and supplier coordination

Our in-house workshop supports rapid prototyping, testing, and low-volume builds, allowing us to move quickly from digital design to functional hardware.

If you are ever in the area, stop by for a consultation or a cup of coffee, we design, build, and create every day.
