Engineering out failure in emergency devices (5-9 reliability)

Reliability targets above 99.999% demand constraint-driven design. We build robustness into the architecture so reliability is proven from the start.

Designing devices to scale at ultra-high volume

Scale reveals hidden sensitivities. Our approach removes failure modes early - avoiding NCs, design changes and new documentation in mass production.

How we partner with you

Every engagement is built around your team’s needs - from focused design reviews to long-term collaboration. We bring structure, clarity, and mechanical engineering depth, so you gain both immediate results and lasting capability.

Design Assessments

Targeted reviews of architecture, reliability, and design risks. Fast, focused input where it mattersmost.

Co-Development

Working side by side with your R&D team to solve complex challenges, embed robust design methods, and deliver devices ready for scale.

Long-Term Partnerships

Ongoing consulting to guide programs from concept to launch, ensuring reliability and execution excellence at every stage.

Client results

We helped a European medical device manufacturer secure a smooth production ramp-up by conducting a Robust Design assessment of a diabetes care device before release.

We worked with a US-based pharma R&D team of 40+ engineers to continuously monitor and improve injection device design.

We enabled a global device R&D and manufacturing unit to scale production sixfold — with zero re-runs on tooling and manufacturing qualification.

We guided an executive make/buy decision for injection devices through full 8-discipline assessments and KPI benchmarking.

We supported a MedTech R&D team in releasing a new apparatus four months ahead of schedule, implementing visual performance tracking to raise team execution.

We trained and coached an R&D and project management organization, embedding robust development practices while revamping core processes.
