Products
The product pillar encompasses all competence areas that contribute to the engineering/technical understanding of a product at some level.
In many cases, the manufacturing origin of a product is unknown, necessitating a re-mapping through the application of reverse engineering processes. This allows for the product to be remanufactured. Furthermore, additional "capabilities" can be associated with the existing product through the re-engineering process, making it better and more efficient. These processes require deep and complex knowledge, as the product may originate from or need to be integrated into various activity areas.
This pillar covers all phases of product design, including the review of simulation requirements and detailed design. In addition to the product design, attention must also be paid to its technological feasibility.
For new products, in addition to simulation checks and engineering calculations, product testing and validation may also be justified. Compliance with standards and legal regulations may necessitate verification, ensuring adherence to these requirements.
The center ensures the presence of professionals who can guarantee compliance with the requirements set for the products. The various competence areas within the pillar are also composed of professionals from a partner network, capable of collaboratively solving the given problem.
Product design
The product design service focuses on engineering design related to the creation of new products.
It targets industrial and research tasks aimed at preparing a concept for a product, evaluating variants, and developing preliminary models, which then leads to the preparation of the complete technical documentation for the product.
The goal of this competence area is to develop various versions of new products, determine the optimal product direction suited to the intended purpose, and prepare the detailed engineering plans necessary for the appropriate design of the products.
Possible areas:
- Analysis of product alternatives
- Product development scenarios
- Functional and design modeling
- Preparation of detailed workshop drawings and manufacturing drawings
- Technology-appropriate design
- Preparation of related technical specifications
Content of related services:
- Development of product variants
- Product analysis
- Modeling, manufacturing drawings, detailed plans
- Complete technical documentation
Product testing and validation:
The product testing service area is the final element of engineering support related to the creation of new products, focusing on testing the developed product or prototype and validating compliance with relevant standards and expectations.
It concentrates on industrial and research tasks aimed at verifying a product's compliance with expected and specified parameters.
The objective of this competency area is to implement testing and validation procedures for new products, whether compared against standard or non-standard requirements.
Possible areas:
- Development of product testing methods
- Planning and execution of product tests
- Validation of products against specifications
Content of related services:
- Product testing methodology
- Product test reports
- Validation reports
