Every trek is better with a guide.

Embarking on the journey of electronic product design and development is much like climbing a mountain. Each step of this complex adventure will demand expert knowledge of the trail and the ability to make critical decisions when the going gets tough. Managing all of this complexity on your own can feel like navigating treacherous terrain without a guide.

Simplify your journey to the summit by partnering with an experienced, trusted manufacturer who has successfully conquered these heights before. We'll guide you through our proven NPI process, ensuring each step is clear and manageable. Ultimately, we will help bring your product to market while finding happiness in the making.

PHASE 1: CREATE A ROADMAP

Every successful journey begins with careful planning. The first phase of NPI involves drafting up a comprehensive roadmap for your product and business goals. Here, we assess your costs, schedule, and product requirements, ensuring that all elements are aligned and achievable. This planning stage sets the foundation for the climb, giving us a clear path to follow.

 

Efficiencies gained

Expectations, resource management, and milestones are set at the beginning ensuring alignment between both teams.

PHASE 2: ENGINEERING, PROTOTYPING, AND DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING

Roadmap in hand, we hit the trail together. In Phase 2, we focus on optimizing your design for manufacturing. Our expert in-house engineering team ensures that your electronic design meet all product requirements, resulting in a high-quality prototype.

 

PITFALL AVOIDED

Design decisions made too far along in the process can mean going back to the hardware drawing board, resulting in sunk costs and extended timelines.

PHASE 3: PRODUCTION PREPARATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN SETUP

In Phase 3 we’re securing our footing with a comprehensive pre-production setup. SEACOMP completes the tooling of your product, purchases materials and components, and establishes efficient processes. We’ll smoothly guide you through what might otherwise be mysterious and overwhelming with our decades of experience.  

 

Efficiencies gained

We leverage our strong supplier network to source your product’s components and materials with optimal lead times and costs.

PHASE 4: SCALING TO VOLUME PRODUCTION

As we reach greater altitudes, precision and expertise are key to staying on course. The fourth phase involves rigorous testing and validation of your product design and manufacturing processes. Through the EVT (Engineering Validation Testing), DVT (Design Validation Testing), and PVT (Production Validation Testing) stages, we ensure your product is ready for large-scale production.

 

PITFALL AVOIDED

Any assembly issues can be identified and resolved early by our vertically integrated team to keep your timeline on track.

PHASE 5: PRODUCTION PROCESS AND SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

Now, we’ve nearly conquered the ascent and your product is in full production. Phase 5 focuses on refining your manufacturing processes and supply chain for maximum efficiency. This stage represents fine-tuning your approach as you near the summit, ensuring every step is optimized for success. Sleeping soundly at camp has never felt better!

 

Efficiencies gained

Our customers see a reduction in total costs in two key areas: lower material and component prices, and higher volume efficiencies with a consistently running production line.

PHASE 6: LOGISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION SUPPORT

Finally, you stand at the peak, ready to enjoy the view. The last phase of NPI involves distributing your product to their final destinations. With manufacturing complete, we support the logistics and distribution to ensure your product reaches the market smoothly. This phase signifies the rewarding moment when your hard work pays off.

 

PITFALL AVOIDED

Partners who aren’t aware of various shipping regulations can cause products to get held up at borders.
