Partner I.

An industrial automation development company, founded in 1993 and based in Germany, that designs and manufactures new solutions for industrial automation and control.

Project:

New product manufacturing – PRODUCT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING CONSULTANCY

The first step was to assess the manufacturability of the existing product. We had to adapt the product to the constraints of the production technology, create appropriately configured production settings, re-panel the product, and optimise the components. In the first few years, the partner planned on 5,000+ product units and 2.5 million parts per year, but the partner also had loftier long-term goals. Currently, ELECTROHUG produces 100,000+ units of the base product, and a further 200,000+ additional products, which are also assembled. This project will use 52.8 million parts per year.

Result

With a more than a 20-time increase in product volume, ELECTROHUG has continued to maintain short and on-time production and delivery times by further developing its manufacturing technology, all while reducing costs by 23%.

Partner II.

A German company that has been designing and developing products for the wellness market for more than 30 years.

Project:

COMPLEX EMS PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Reliability and quality are the hallmarks of the partner’s products, but many of their products were designed before the 2000s. From an electronics point of view, their production is now inefficient and uneconomic. ELECTROHUG’s task was to understand these specifications and combine their traditional quality with modern technological requirements, providing them with a complex EMS service.

Result

The creation of a product that had been out of production for years due to a lack of raw materials. In the process, the products were completely redesigned to include new features in addition to the old ones. As they were unavailable on the market, many of the materials used in the project were manufactured individually by ELECTROHUG, enabling the product to be made. Thanks to the purchasing department, the network of suppliers behind it, and our engineers, the delivery time for some products was reduced from 18 months to 1.5 months.
 
By improving the technology of electronic finished products, the cost of manufacturing the product has been reduced by 46%.
