When your project specifications have yet to be finalized, DDS can help provide an agile development path forward. We use a phased design approach during concepting, prototyping, designing, and building of a new automated system. These efforts include concept work, simulations, solid modeling, studies and design work.
Each stage is presented with a plan, weekly updates, a presentation of work performed, and recommendations for next steps. We encourage collaboration with the customer on the development and path forward: each development stage will be presented to the customer before beginning and we schedule a meeting to collaborate on the current development and the path forward at the end of each phase. The team that you have from the start of the project is with you throughout implementation.
The project development phases may evolve as needed, but typically follow these steps:
- Data
- Concept
- Concept Development
- FEA
- Prototyping / Proof
- Engineering
- System Build
Process Development
Our talented team of engineers and project managers work directly with you to develop or manage a project. The design process ranges from overall conceptual engineering to detailed design and machine/ system programming. With a fully staffed engineering department, we have expertise in designing and building innovative solutions for any manufacturing environment.
