Our Process
To realise an idea we take the path illustrated below. Hover your mouse on each category to find out more about our process.
Planning and feasibility study
A successful product requires detailed budgeting as well as a sound engineering base. Assessing both technical aspects and the final cost of the product at this stage is crucial in deciding the overall feasibility of the project.
Design
refinement
No first prototype is complete. This phase is a great opportunity to tune and refine the product and finalise its specification.
Low
volume
production
A manufacturing run of low numbers can help with ironing out problems that arise with production. For highly specialised instrumentation, a low number of robust units concludes the project at this stage.
Large
scale
production
Selecting the appropriate production facility and forming a close partnership with contract manufacturers determines the quality, reliability and yield of the final product which ultimately determines the success or failure of a product.
Initial
Consultation
Any new product starts on a clean sheet of paper. A rough sketch and basic specification is a great starting point.
Proof
of
concept
At this stage, ideas are taking shape. A functional prototype is a great way to showcase its potentials and find out its shortfalls. If short of funding a production-ready prototype is a great way of convincing investors.
Design
for
Manufacture
One-off prototypes are far from a design ready for manufacture. The choice of components and mechanical design can play a major role in determining profit margins and ensuring compliance with regulations such as CE. Risk assessment of the product and design for fabrication using standardised processes are carried out at this stage.
EMC
testing &
certification
Commercialising a product, in its target market, requires compliance with various international standards and regulations. Access to high-end facilities, along with the correct expertise will ensure a successful compliance outcome.
