From prototyping and testing to
manufacturing
Total R&D does not stop at design and engineering.
Our entire R&D process is based on constant prototyping and validation. By doing this, we can ensure a development process in which possible pitfalls are identified and eliminated before it’s too late. Ultimately, constant prototyping ensures that a product or service being developed is going to meet the needs of all stakeholders.
Extensive usability testing and mechanical testing ensures that the product will meet all the requirements set to it, whether it be IP classifications, robustness, or user requirements . We can also take care of regulatory approvals.
If needed, we can set you up with different production volumes, from individual pieces to small batches, and to large-scale mass production.
Success is based on
customer insight
At the core of the Total R&D offering is the aim to create the perfect solution to meet the needs of the customer and other stakeholders.
Customer insight is our key to designing optimal products and services which enhance operations, improve productivity and safety, reduce frustration and increase satisfaction. To this end, we utilize cutting-edge methods for conducting user observations, interviews and co-creation workshops — remotely or on-site — and for analyzing the results.
User understanding not only helps in creating better products and services. It also uncovers hidden opportunities for new business.
