REVERSE ENGINEERING

The creation of better designs and the interoperability of existing products often begin with reverse engineering.
Reverse engineering as a method is not confined to any particular purpose, but is often an important part of the scientific method and technological development.

Through reverse engineering, our team gathers the technical data necessary for the documentation of the operation of a technology or component of a system. In "black box" reverse engineering, systems are observed without examining internal structure, while in "white box" reverse engineering, the inner workings of the system are inspected.

The most traditional method of the development of a technology is referred to as "forward engineering." In the construction of technology, manufacturers develop a product by implementing engineering concepts and abstractions. In contrast, reverse engineering begins with the final product, and works backward to recreate the engineering concepts by analyzing the design of the system and the interrelationships of its components.

Value engineering refers to the creation of an improved system or product to the originally analyzed one. While there is often overlap between the methods of value engineering and reverse engineering, the goal of reverse engineering itself is the improved documentation of how the original product works by uncovering the underlying design. The working product that results from a reverse engineering effort is more like a duplicate of the original system, without necessarily adding modifications or improvements to the original design.

However, reverse engineering may also be used to develop the product's modifications or improvements. Our engineering team have experienced many cases of reverse engineering projects for our clients as well as military items.
