We find it very important to have a good foundation for the product design. In order to come to the best results, we will normally follow a number of steps, adjusted to your needs.
The following design process has proved itself in many projects and results in innovative, functional and good products.
- Insight | we want to have insight into the basics of the product, the buyers and users, competitors, design direction, technical issues and ip aspects. An important part of the research is a user research: we interview users and do observations in order to get insight in how users treat products, where irritation might be, and try to find ergonomic improvements. The analyses result in a list of specifications for the product.
- Concepts | we generate design concepts and solutions, design beautiful, functional and speaking forms that fit with the product and the target group, design the system, the interaction between user and the product.
- Testing | in many cases the working principles of the concepts will be tested first with users, to make sure that the newly designed product will mean an improvement in terms of use and functionality.
- Development | now we develop the design to a real product, devine the material, thicknesses, places where connections are to be placed, conduct simulations and calculations, find the best production methods, design electronics and software for the product and discuss with suppliers about costprices and production techniques.
- Prototyping | before starting the production of the newly designed product we make one or more prototypes to test the functionality and optimize the design. After this we help you to bring the product in production.
- Transfer | the design is now ready and is officially transfered to you. We have a meeting about the organisation of the production, possible optimisations and changes in the design that you would wish before production and whether we can help you with certification, packaging, documentation, quality assurance from the first production series and other issues.
- Industrialisation | we optimise and change the product design according to your wishes, agree on production quality standards, help with certifications, documentation and other issues up to production of the product.
