We begin our work with customers at any of three crucial stages in product development: ideation (invent), productization (design), or manufacturing (build). Wherever we begin, customers work with EmbedTek through a single point of contact. Peer relationships between engineering, quality, manufacturing, finance and executives are developed. Project managers engage during product launches and transitions to manage and coordinate the process.
Ideation
Inventing an entirely new product, equipment, device or solution based on a market need. Solving a problem in a current product line. Applying strategic engineering for a concept still in development. Our team’s diversity in experience, background, and specialty gives us the unique ability to provide outside perspective and ingenuity. We work with our clients’ product development teams to invent and test concepts and determine the best approach to market.
Productization
Engineering a solution based on initial requirements from the customer or entering the second phase of ideation. We take a system-level, holistic approach in the design process, leveraging proven technologies, COTS components and existing supply chains whenever possible to reduce risk. From there, we create a supply chain plan that leverages the strengths of each supplier and shields our customers from their weaknesses.
Manufacturing
Our manufacturing process and quality system is agile, flexible, automated, and adaptable to reduce the burden on our customers and eliminate errors. In some cases, we are integrating the subsystem to logical point for handoff to our customers for final integration. In others, we are fully integrating the system and shipping directly to our customer’s customer. In all cases, the configuration, test, and manufacturing results are recorded to provide a detailed history of the each device by serial number.
ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2008 certified. Registered with the FDA as a Contract Manufacturer of Medical Devices.
Lifecycle Management
We understand the importance of aligning the lifecycle of the computer and display to that of your OEM device. For that reason, supply chain design is integrated into the process from the earliest stages. Once complete, we provide repair/remanufacturing services in and out of warranty for all of our products. This involves the same level of detail and controls as the original manufacturing process so that the product can be redeployed to the field directly.
