We undertake product innovation projects with and for clients using our network of hands-on experts. We mainly work with technology-based start-ups and SMEs, and our focus is on products that use sensors for detection, measurement, imaging or control. In areas including medical (we’re ISO 13485 certified), security/defense, process control and IoT—see some examples here.
Call us product developers, design engineers or innovation consultants: We work hands-on with clients to turn ideas, insights and inventions into prototypes and products, into value and profit. We design, engineer, shape, build, and test. Probe, search, sift, and find. Construct, calculate, sketch, and tinker. Define, plan, manage, and deliver projects. Create, add and multiply value.
If you’re faced with a product development challenge, talk to us. We might just be the right partner.
Why
Developing tomorrow’s products requires a combination of expertise that’s unlikely to be found in a single company—so I start with the project and assemble the right team, rather than to start with a team and force-fit projects. We can deliver a broad expertise, with lower overheads and greater flexibility than our larger colleagues. Not convinced?
What
Our combined expertise covers mechanics, electronics, physics, software, ergonomics and production engineering – with a sense of style and a keen eye for cost. Plus we assist in getting European funding, product/market exploration, and deliver practical training. Explore how we can help.
Who
My project team members are all experienced independent professionals used to working in a distributed team. As they chose to work on a project you can be certain they are as motivated as I am to deliver: We all have a personal stake in the success of your project. Get to know us.
