Industrial Design
Our team of industrial designers are not only highly creative, devising truly novel and visually stunning concept designs, but also are skilled at generating photo-realistic manipulatable 3D images of these designs. The result is  that the risk is taken out of concept selection – our designs are so realistic that the resulting prototype or product always mirrors our computer-generated images. Another important distinction with our industrial design team is that they work closely with our production engineers to ensure any new concept can be developed into a tangible product without compromising on either aesthetics, cost, ergonomics or yield.

Hardware Design
Most products, from a car key to a satellite, have electronic elements. We can develop these circuits, layout the circuit boards and generate the BOMs (parts lists) using various software tools such as OrCAD or Cadence Allegro, integrating them with our mechanical engineering, firmware design and production engineering functions.

Mechanical Design
Our mechanical design function is strongly tied to our industrial designers. We can take concept designs and images and convert them into detailed mechanical designs using various software tools such as Solidworks or AutoCAD, ensuring they are compliant with their application and fit for manufacture.

DFM (Design for Manufacture)
We have a very strong DFM strand running through all our design processes. Every designer is completely clear that he/she must effectively develop the product for two entities – the market and the manufacturer. If this doesn’t happen then the product will be expensive to make, unreliable and will suffer unacceptable leadtimes. Our designers liaise with Production Engineering and Manufacturing throughout the Development process and use the feedback from prototype builds to make sure we get it right.

Firmware Design
Our firmware designers work closely with Product Engineering and Hardware Design to ensure we deliver robust, high performance, efficient firmware compliant with the product’s specification.

Software Design
Our Software resource can devise, design and deliver efficient and effective software with a great front-end appearance that is ergonomically designed for ease-of-use and robustness. We specialise in both C and C++ programming and also Oracle, SQL Server and Access relational databases with highly usable graphical interfaces.

Value-Engineering
Working with our Designers and Procurement our Production Engineering function can take any product or prototype at any stage in its Development and squeeze cost out of it and maximise yields without impairing quality.
