How to Bring Your IoT Prototype to Production
summary
Roadmap for turning IoT prototypes into production with concrete case studies: SolidWorks and machining for manufacturable CAD, air cylinder for acceleration and strain gage for sensing, use of an ICP‑D device $800 for data logging, Raspberry Pi front‑end with AWS/Microsoft/Google backend options, hidden costs like static IPs and inventory, long iteration cycles rather than quick deploys—expect 3+ years to production (IonChu took two years, Dyson reports 5,127 failed prototypes), and market shifts can kill otherwise working designs.
