Product development

Kitron and its partners have the expertise to take care of every step in the development process, from early concept design to volume manufacturing.

The expertise and services offered throughout the value chain give Kitron and its partners a unique competitive advantage in product development. Manufacturability and testability are ensured through close collaboration between our product development, test development and new product introduction (NPI) departments. Kitron's sourcing department ensures the procurement of competitively priced materials of the appropriate quality and delivery capability, while the component technology department addresses issues relating to material lifetimes. At the same time, our manufacturing facilities will ensure quality is maintained from the initial production of prototypes through to volume manufacturing.

Kitron’s well-integrated value chain not only ensures profitability throughout the product lifetime but also optimizes each project’s execution timetable and keeps time-to-market to a minimum.

Product Management

Kitron and its partners perform complete Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for customers.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER INVOLVES:

  • Development, industrialization and manufacturing
  • Service and repairs
  • Product upgrades
  • Complete redesign of products

By allowing Kitron and its partners to take care of complete PLM, customers free up resources to focus on marketing, product ownership, core competencies and IPR.

Product Re-Engineering

The close integration of Kitron’s development partners and Kitron's manufacturing sites means we are well placed to perform successful product re-designs.

A typical Kitron initiative will draw on our well-integrated value chain and focus on improving margins and quality. This is achieved through the introduction of new, lower-cost components, improvements in production practices and reductions in waste through increased robustness. An extended product lifetime is ensured through a ”Life Cycle Analysis”, an upgrade to new technologies, improved features and increased functionality.

By allowing Kitron to carry out re-engineering, customers free up internal resources to focus on new products.
