Other Services
Project Access – Research
Engineering brings technical knowledge and alternative solutions in order to enrich the research phase. Coupled with the findings of the designer, this creates a rich pool of ideas and approaches.
Request List (Specifications)
The requirements of the product are defined and classified in collaboration with the client. Features, guidelines and standards are defined, and the expected unit costs included. This essential list serves as a base for product development, guiding the next phases of the assessment of the concept and ideas.
Material / Technology Research
In an early phase of the project, materials, manufacturing processes and sourcing possibilities are investigated. The findings help provide fresh ideas for the developers by demonstrating the possibilities and limitations of production.
Functional analysis
By breaking down the technical solution into its various components, the developer can discover new solutions and pay specific attention to the critical engineering areas.
Concept
The design phase is crucial for the final product. Designers and engineers collaborate closely in order to develop sound solutions and jointly define the concept.
Brainstorming
By ensuring a creative dialogue, engineers and designers jointly develop innovative and bold ideas. Creativity in the fertile discourse is here as well the key to a successful product.
Assessment
Designers and engineers work together to determine the feasibility of an idea, ensuring that the concepts have potential in the market. Through this interaction, we attain in the end sound concepts.
Functional models
First prototypes provide information about the functionality and show potential for optimization. Through initial tests, the developer gains valuable experience and derives the data for the construction phase.
Construction
Extensive experience in plastic and metal manufacturing enables the implementation of first design ideas. The next step is a detailed design and construction phase. Finally, the product is ready for production.
CAD (pro Engineer)
Design in virtual space is the main tool of our engineers. Using the latest design software, highly complex three-dimensional structures are modelled and tested in order to ensure optimization.
Strength calculations (ANSYS)
From the quick analysis of technical feasibility of a concept, to the proof of strength of the final construction, we employ our FEM software in order to simulate different development stages. These simulations are then verified through traditional methods of calculation.
Test Series
Test series play an important role throughout the development process. Functional tests in the early stages, field trials with real prototypes, and long-term testing before the release to production ensure the quality of the final product.
Serial Production
We are in close dialogue with the manufacturers, enabling optimal production processes. As the final solution goes into the production phase, our developers continue to maintain quality control.
Production Optimisation
Before the handover, the crucial steps of production are discussed with the manufacturers to incorporate further possibilities of optimisation on the product. We thus guarantee a cost-efficient production.
Quality Control
The transition from prototype production to mass production is closely controlled through knowledge transfer between all parties. This step is especially important. We therefore pursue and accompany the transfer very closely and have the quality assessed by externals experts, if necessary. Locally, we personally examine the production line, or transfer the tasks to our employees at the production site.
Adaptations, new versions
A long life cycle of the product is guaranteed through regular updates and improvements. In this important step, we support our customers as well. Our close contact with the manufacturers ensures the accurate implementation of the customer's wishes as well as necessary schedule updates.
