Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
If you build it, they will come. If you build it better, they will come back
Supplier Qualification and Evaluation
It’s not just what you know, it’s who you know
Our extensive relationships with suppliers and contract manufacturers both at home and abroad gives us a wide pool of talent to draw from to insure the best fit for our clients and their timely needs. This is just one of many ways we manage costs, mitigate risk, manage security and maximize your ROI.
Electrical Engineering
Our team really knows how to work the boards
With software such Altium Designer, we can handle circuit board design and layout. Then, with numerous editing tools at our disposal, we can work to address design changes, schematic capture, routing (EDA), testing, analysis and FPGA design.
Intellectual Property and Patent Analysis
If you build a better mousetrap, make sure to keep the rights
Our familiarity with IP research not only helps clients avoid rights infringement, but can also be leveraged to help to protect and develop their IP rights and patents to the fullest. ROBRADY collaborates with a number of accomplished patent firms in all aspects of IP design, development, and litigation.
Reverse Engineering
We have the technology; we can un-build it
As the flip-side of forensic engineering, our reverse engineering capabilities help us understand the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. Knowledge gained from RE can then be used in maintenance, refinement or avoidance of patent or intellectual property infringement.
Analysis and Testing
We know why a design will work…and why it won’t
Inherent in the ROBRADY design philosophy is an appreciation for the synergy between design and mechanical aspects of a product. It’s not enough to look good if it doesn’t meet (or exceed) performance standards. From the beginning of the design process, through certification to production, we constantly evaluate our designs and work closely with applicable testing agencies to insure we meet or surpass all standards. Among the tests we perform:
Project Data Management
What good is blazing a trail if no one can follow you?
At ROBRADY, project management goes beyond taking good notes. Our configuration management process meticulously records an item’s functional and physical characteristics to provide a complete audit trail of all decisions and design modifications. We also maintain a Medical Design History file that adheres to the strenuous FDA regulations (CFR part 820).
Digital Modeling
Capturing the imagination starts with capturing the reality
Employing a wide array of state-of-the-art software, we can create incredibly detailed models and surfaces in 3D leading to innovative CAD/CAM/CAE solutions. And, our ultra-precision surface capturing devices can document the contours of any physical object to quickly and accurately create high-precision models, allowing for cost-effective digital vs. physical R&D.
