New Product Design

We act as a seamless extension of our customers’ internal design teams. By getting involved early in the product development process and collaborating closely with their design teams and product managers, we work diligently to exceed our customers’ goals and time-to-market expectations.

Our Development Process and Capabilities

When you partner with SONECO for new product introduction projects, you benefit from well-defined tasks and objectives for each phase of development. This approach allows us to focus on solving complex product challenges without the need to reinvent the wheel. To remain responsive to our customers’ design needs, we have established advanced technology development capabilities that incorporate solutions aimed at reducing costs throughout the product’s lifecycle.

Electronics Design Stages          

 

 I. Research 

1. Understanding Project Parameters

  • Gaining detailed information and a solid understanding of the project’s application specifics.
  • Organizing meetings with the client’s staff to identify and document all functional requirements and needs.

2. Technological Approach Research

  • Formulating and selecting the optimal development path.
  • Focusing on innovative product design and engineering solutions.

3. Cost analysis (Design and Production)

  • Evaluation and cross reference of functional specifications of the bill of materials formulating innovative view
  • Developing an innovative approach for cost efficiency.

4. Preliminary Product Development Schedule

  • Creating an initial product development timeline.

 

 II. Product Definition/Specifications  

1. Creating Product Direction and Innovative Concepts

  • Formulating and prioritizing collected data based on requirements and product characteristics.

2. Defining Electrical/Mechanical Specifications

  • Establishing all design, engineering, manufacturing, and configuration requirements.


3. Finalizing Project/Product Cost and Schedule

  • Confirming the final project/product cost and establishing a detailed schedule.
