Product Design
Our experienced team work with you to create innovative products and service solutions ready for manufacture. We have extensive experience in user insights, UX/UI and industrial design aesthetics, mechanical engineering, embedded systems and Cloud and App solutions.
Innovative product and service design for sustainable environmental and commercial outcomes
Functional Design
Functional prototypes provide validation before DFM
The primary product features and interfaces are validated using high-resolution functional prototypes. This allows accelerated life and end user testing to validate requirements such as ruggedisation, usability and compliance. Customers get a better sense of the product’s look and feel and its baseline features before proceeding to detailed design for tooling.
Detailed Design
Refining the product aesthetic, usability and design for scale manufacturing
Detailing a design for volume manufacturing takes time and careful implementation. Consideration of the production, test and assembly processes is critical to delivering a high level of quality at the right price at the. Product build costs drive decisions on tooling and other aspects of production automation.
Concept Development
Wider scoping of product options to rapidly converge on an inspired solution
Concept development is a critical stage in which the needs of your customers are translated into concept options to test feasibility and product appeal. Sustainability and compliance requirements are considered seriously at this stage, so risks are identified early to minimise development effort. Various manufacturing approaches will be explored to provide product cost estimates and automation requirements.
New Product Introduction
Setting up a production system to deliver certified quality products
Our production engineers fully support the new product introduction and EOL testing processes, helping to resolve the minor issues that arise down the production line. User manuals and other quality management documentation are drafted, and support marketing and compliance specialists navigate certification.
User and Technical Requirements Planning and System Architecture
Insight-driven specifications establish a clear development pathway
Using established processes like design thinking, technology reviews and product/system architecture, we develop an initial set of user and technical requirements in collaboration with you. These enable the rapid development of early-stage prototypes to validate ideas and discover fundamental opportunities for innovation and viable product outcomes.
