Designed for production

Engineering that holds up beyond the prototype.

ICT connects product decisions to how electronics are fabricated, assembled, tested, protected, maintained, and supported throughout their lifecycle.

01

Production Engineering

Design decisions grounded in how electronics are fabricated, assembled, protected, and inspected.

  • PCB fabrication
  • Conformal coating
02

Test & Risk

Practical strategies to expose failure modes early and create dependable production evidence.

  • End-of-line testing
  • DFMEA
03

Lifecycle Systems

Controlled design assets and component decisions that keep products supportable over time.

  • Component obsolescence
  • Altium library management

How ICT can help

Senior engineering where the risk is highest.

Bring in focused support for a complete development, a difficult technical problem, or the exact stage where your internal team needs another experienced set of hands.

01

Electronics & PCB Design

Architecture, schematic capture, component selection, PCB design, DFMEA, fabrication handoff, and practical support through prototype bring-up.

02

Embedded Firmware

Reliable firmware for connected and control products—from low-level drivers and communications to production test, field updates, and long-term support.

C / C++BLE & Wi-FiOTA updatesManufacturing test
03

EMC Engineering

EMC-aware design, pre-compliance preparation, lab support, failure diagnosis, and focused corrective action when a product needs to pass.

04

Compliance & Product Lifecycle

Certification readiness and responsive support for design transfer, production issues, obsolete components, field changes, and mature-product upgrades.

Specialized expertise

CSAC828LINE-VOLTAGE THERMOSTATS

Compliance insight belongs in the design—not at the end.

ICT provides independent engineering support for line-voltage thermostat development under CSA C828, helping teams translate performance requirements into robust hardware, firmware, test behaviour, and evidence.

PRACTICAL SUPPORT ACROSS THE PRODUCT

01

Requirements & architecture

Translate the standard and product use cases into clear technical requirements.

02

Control & fault behaviour

Review sensing, switching, firmware control, safeguards, and abnormal conditions.

03

Test preparation

Plan representative samples, test modes, measurements, and supporting documentation.

04

Failure resolution

Investigate unexpected results and develop focused hardware or firmware corrections.

Ideas Come True Innovations Inc. is an independent engineering consultancy and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CSA Group. Product certification is performed by accredited certification bodies.

Applied experience

Comfortable at the intersection of disciplines.

Real product problems rarely stay inside one box. ICT connects system behaviour, schematics, layouts, firmware, measurements, manufacturing realities, and certification requirements to find solutions that hold together.

A good design is not only technically correct. It must be clear enough to review, practical enough to build, and resilient enough to support.
01

Motion & control

High-current motor control, embedded power electronics, validation, and production-test support.

02

Connected heating

Line-voltage controls, sensing, cloud-connected thermostats, wireless updates, and safety behaviour.

03

Wireless & medical

BLE-connected products, secure firmware updates, compact electronics, and cross-platform integration.

04

Industrial systems

Machine vision, custom test equipment, touchscreen software, repairs, and lifecycle maintenance.

Working together

A direct path from uncertainty to evidence.

01

Understand

Clarify the product, risk, constraints, and fastest useful next step.

02

Design

Create practical hardware and firmware that can be built, tested, and supported.

03

Verify

Bring up prototypes, investigate failures, and prepare focused evidence for testing.

04

Deliver

Support transfer to production and stay available when real-world issues appear.
