Enhance the production of your instruments

Once the instrument has been launched, STRATEC can assist its partners by providing a cost-effective and predictable way to remain sustainably in the market. Common issues solved include low reliability, obsolescence of critical components, maintaining compliance across regions, and managing seemly unpredictable costs. As part of the lifecycle transfer process, STRATEC will review the current technology and known issues, as well as identifying other potential watch-outs.

Parts of the design are revised and others retained to achieve the optimal balance of predictability, regulatory impact, engineering costs, and time to market. Partners stand to benefit from the full range of services STRATEC offers to support the system over its future lifecycle.

engage with Stratec for a Lifecycle Transfer project

The most frequent points in the lifecycle to engage with STRATEC are:

After the initial launch of the first-generation instrument, when performance, reliability, and supplier predictability may not be adequate

Later in the lifecycle to address obsolescence and regulatory issues, when the future of the product is being considered, and cost management is paramount

From Concept to Market

1. Mutual Introduction Phase

Contact our team to discuss your project requirements and objectives. We will arrange an initial meeting to understand your needs and explore how our capabilities can best support your goals.

2. Individual Project Proposal

Based on the customer needs and our experience in design and manufacturing, we will develop a detailed project proposal outlining our approach, timelines, and cost estimates. Our development team will focus on workflow analysis, concept development, system architecture, and initial documentation such as requirements and specifications. If desired, we can also examine the feasibility of risk-reducing development.

3. Concept Phase

Our development team creates and refines key documentation, including requirements, specifications, and risk analysis, ensuring a strong project foundation. Module designs are detailed and reviewed for a smooth transition into development. To reduce risks, STRATEC offers comprehensive feasibility services, as well as usability task analysis and evaluation planning during the concept phase.

4. Design & Prototype Phase

We will produce prototypes for your review and conduct rigorous testing to ensure they meet your standards. Our experts also take care of integration and, if required, industrial design.

5. Verification/Validation Phase

Our teams will perform extensive verification and validation of the design using evaluation instruments to guarantee precision and consistency.

6. Production Transfer Phase

Once instrument performance has been established, we will enter serial production, ensuring timely and efficient manufacturing to meet your product demand. Our production team adheres to strict quality assurance protocols to reliably deliver high-quality instruments.

7. Post Launch Phase

We focus on providing instruments as needed in regular production to our customers, while providing the necessary flexibility for fluctuating demand due to tender needs and other unforeseen demand increases.

8. Life Cycle Management

We provide continuous support and collaboration for our customers to implement any improvements, new features or updates of their systems to keep them current and attrative in the market. With extended support also for managing obsolesence, we have instruments that are in the market for over 20 years.
