In order to develop a new product, one should consult an expert.
Through the consulting process, the inventor will have a much better idea of the marketability of his product. It is often money well spend. So before plunging ahead, why not sit down with us at Astinco. We are quite willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement and to research your idea and it's development.
Consulting may include a comprehensive study in the following aspects:
- Feasibility
- Design Options
- Manufacturability
- Design Cost
- Prototyping
- Manufacturing Cost
- Assembly Options
- Time to Market
- Packaging
- Marketing
After a complete analysis of your product, we will provide you with a report which will include all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
Depending on the project, we may need to consult other firms to seek assistance with some parts of the study. For example if your design requires a mechanical part we may discuss it with a mechanical engineering firm to obtain a more accurate analysis.
Regarding marketing we will enlist the help of a marketing research firm, which will give you an accurate assessment of the marketability of your idea at the very beginning of the process!
Some companies may already have a product on the market but would like to improve the product or add options to their design or even do reliability analysis. All of these things can be done through consultation.
In addition we can also look into cost reduction of existing projects by studying ways we can reduce production expenses while still maintaining high quality.
