Build, test, improve, repeat. We prototype fast to prove your concept works before you invest big. Quick iterations mean we find problems early and fix them cheap.

Start simple, add complexity as needed. Basic prototypes test ergonomics, proportions and feel. Richer functionality and electronics assess real user interaction and performance.

In order to develop an effective, efficient and satisfactory product, user research is key. Early on in the design process this means understanding their behaviors, needs and motivations. If these aren’t known beforehand, they can be identified through observation techniques, task analysis, think aloud protocol, and other methods. In the later stages of the design process, the focus is on evaluating designs with the target group. These usability tests require a clearly defined context of use, performance and satisfaction criteria, and a testing procedure based on the ISO62366 usability guidelines (or ISO 13485 in case of medical devices). Some common evaluation methods we use are: interviews, focus groups and surveys.

We test both from a user perspective and from an engineering performance perspective during the design process. Both are equally important in our approach to reduce the risks when a product is launched on the market.

We track and control the quality of prototypes throughout the entire design process. This means we catch issues early and deliver reliable results.

We always design our products with scalability in mind. When we combine our in-house expertise and capacity with our supplier network, we can help our clients to seamlessly migrate from a development to production state. We have the facilities for the rollout of a first series of e.g. 50 products.

Once production volumes start to rise, it’s important to set up an effective assembly process. We can develop and build assembly tools and jigs that allow an easy and accurate assembly of devices. They can also support testing of (sub)sytems before they are being shipped.
