Not a one-size-fits-all process
Our superpower is building a development pathway that matches your needs.
Think of us as an extension of you and your team, providing the right engineering and design resources at just the right time. It starts with making sure we deeply understand your needs, goals, and capabilities so we can leverage specific expertise from our team to complement you and your project’s needs.
Our approach engineering, design and process challenges
High Complexity Products and Medical Devices
When a product is high complexity, or has exceptionally rigorous process and testing requirements, we must adjust our approach to ensure we cover all critical aspects of not just the technical development, but also the documentation, testing to specific standards and in-depth risk analysis both overall and per component. Below is an example of a development process we designed for one of our customers’ complex medical device products.
Consumer Product Development
Developing consumer products requires a strong foundation and understanding of the end customer and the problem you are helping them solve. Its not enough to just think about the technical solution, but how the user will see the product on the shelf, understand it’s purpose and interact with it during use. Matching a competent technical solution to great product design fundamentals is what we do here at SMM Engineering Design. Below is an example of a development process for one of our customer’s products.
Industrial Automation and Equipment Development
Developing custom industrial automated equipment requires a careful approach to ensure success. Building an initial pilot tool that has the necessary adjustability to accommodate for process development and process adjustment, while minimizing over-engineering and ensuring that the ultimate machine cost and feature-set match the production needs is not trivial, but achievable. In SMM Engineering's Industrial Automation development process, we take care to correctly gather the key information up-front and evaluate feature risk along the way. Below is an example of a process we took with one of our customers when developing a large production-level automated machine.
Research & Development
R&D is often an early stage, blue sky evaluation of a problem and solution space. We work with our customers to define the parameters of the solutions we are searching for, and closely monitor our progress with our client to ensure that we stay on-track and on-budget given their R&D goals. Below is an example of a process we took with one of our R&D clients after taking the time to understand their R&D goals..
Quality Control
We take quality control seriously and have rigorous processes in place to ensure that every part we produce meets our high standards. We use advanced inspection equipment to verify the accuracy of our work.
Customer Service
We pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every client is completely satisfied with our work, and we are always available to answer any questions you may have.
