Independent engineering consulting · Burlington, Ontario
Hardware, firmware, EMC, and compliance—integrated from the first architecture through production, with hands-on manufacturing and lifecycle experience shaping every decision.
Designed for production
ICT connects product decisions to how electronics are fabricated, assembled, tested, protected, maintained, and supported throughout their lifecycle.
Design decisions grounded in how electronics are fabricated, assembled, protected, and inspected.
Practical strategies to expose failure modes early and create dependable production evidence.
Controlled design assets and component decisions that keep products supportable over time.
How ICT can help
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.
Architecture, schematic capture, component selection, PCB design, DFMEA, fabrication handoff, and practical support through prototype bring-up.
Reliable firmware for connected and control products—from low-level drivers and communications to production test, field updates, and long-term support.
EMC-aware design, pre-compliance preparation, lab support, failure diagnosis, and focused corrective action when a product needs to pass.
Certification readiness and responsive support for design transfer, production issues, obsolete components, field changes, and mature-product upgrades.
Specialized expertise
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.
Talk about a thermostat projectPRACTICAL SUPPORT ACROSS THE PRODUCT
Translate the standard and product use cases into clear technical requirements.
Review sensing, switching, firmware control, safeguards, and abnormal conditions.
Plan representative samples, test modes, measurements, and supporting documentation.
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
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.
High-current motor control, embedded power electronics, validation, and production-test support.
Line-voltage controls, sensing, cloud-connected thermostats, wireless updates, and safety behaviour.
BLE-connected products, secure firmware updates, compact electronics, and cross-platform integration.
Machine vision, custom test equipment, touchscreen software, repairs, and lifecycle maintenance.
Working together
Clarify the product, risk, constraints, and fastest useful next step.
Create practical hardware and firmware that can be built, tested, and supported.
Bring up prototypes, investigate failures, and prepare focused evidence for testing.
Support transfer to production and stay available when real-world issues appear.
About ICT
