Design Engineering and prototyping

"TAILORED ADVANCED PRODUCT QUALITY PLANNING"

At Improvians, we believe the product development process is key to developing world class product. Hence, we create customized advanced product quality planning process for each client based on their requirement. This product development process is comprehensive and robust to concurrently develop product without missing out on any of the key steps. We have cross-functional team meetings to get the perspective from all the departments at every checkpoint review in order to continuously ensure we are on the right course.
During the product development process, we analyze various avenues for product improvement. We perform material research so that we have the right material properties. We ensure refined ergonomic design to obtain maximized benefits to our customers. We use CAE to understand complex product interaction with the environment. Through our value engineering approach, we analyze the ratio of function to cost and work towards maximizing it. Some of our specialized mechanical engineering outsourcing services, which we provide for the product development, are stated below:

Design Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (DFMEA)​

DFMEA is a very powerful approach used for identifying potential risks introduced in a new or changed design of a product.

    • Improvians have a standardized approach to create and update documents with severity, occurrence and detection ratings of each potential failure mode that might occur during the lifecycle of the product.
    • We use this powerful tool to document all lesson learned from the previous products and design cycles so that we can consistently achieve continuous improvement without repeating previous mistakes.

    Design Optimization

    Design optimization is the process to strike the right balance between cost, material selection, product functionality, aesthetics, assembly, manufacturability, and reliability.

      • Improvians product development process allows clients to have consistency in the design features for the products of a similar family. That way, whenever they have a breakthrough in their understanding of the product physics, it can be applied across the board.
      • Improvians use computer-aided engineering to investigate the different potential failure mode to iteratively optimize the product. We follow data-driven optimization by using different statistical tools to analyze the test results post validation

      Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly

      DFM techniques are focused on individual parts and components with a goal of reducing or eliminating expensive, complex or unnecessary features which would make them difficult to manufacture. In design for assembly, we review the current design with an eye for elements and features of the design which can be improved in order to eliminate or minimize the labor.

        • Improvians experience in DFM and DFA helps customers develop high-performance products with ease of assembly and manufacturability
        • Ourmultidisplinary and concurrent engineering approach helps you eliminate all the assembly and Manufacturing issues in the design phase.

        Ergonomics and Aesthetics

        Improvians believe that the style and aesthetics of a product are as important as its functionality. It can convert a product from being used to being loved by our customers

          • We provide a smart ergonomic design which leads to greater product use and high customer satisfaction.
          • We use prototyping to iteratively make improvements.

          Value Engineering & Detailing

          It is a systematic, step-by-step approach, to achieve the desired functions of a system, service, process or product at an overall minimum cost, without deteriorating the quality, performance, reliability, safety or environment.

            • At Improvians, we follow an organized process to analyze the functions of a project, product or process so as to improve the value of the same.
            • Through value engineering approach, we maximize function and minimize cost, which eventually increases product value to our customers.

            Prototyping

            Prototyping is the manufacturing of early samples of the design to understand its physical form, fit and function.

              • 3D printing can come in handy when it comes to prototyping as its more suitable for low volume productions.
              • Improvians is well equipped with the below technologies to provide you with the right material properties and design accuracy of your prototypes:

              Engineering Change Management

              Engineering change management is a systematic approach to the documentation of changes from the identification of the required change, through the planning and implementation of the change, and culminating with the closure of the issue.

                • The engineers at Improvians have an in-depth understanding of ECR/ECO/ECN processes and can manage engineering change efficiently and effectively throughout the product development cycle.
                • Improvians follow a very disciplined approach of collection and releasing of documents through engineering change management so everyone is aware of why, how and when the changes were made.

                Reverse Engineering

                Reverse engineering is the process by which a product is deconstructed to gain knowledge from its product features.

                  • Improvians does extensive benchmarking to understand the comparable products and their user interaction. This helps the customer understand the key areas in which the product can excel and stay ahead of the competition.
                  • Improvians also provide other reverse engineering outsourcing services which involve scanning, remodeling and 3D printing with various materials such as resin, plastics, metals, etc.

                      Engineering Documentation & Standardization

                      Engineering documentation and standardization involves assisting our customers with all aspects of documentation ranging from regulatory compliance to certification support

                        • Improvians support our clients with best in class engineering documentation, organization, and updating process.
                        • Improvians can assist in detailed planning and standardization of such process to enable consistent and organized documents at each stage of the product development. We also ensure following all the regulatory compliance along the way.
