Developing sophisticated hardware products is a challenging task, and engineers must overcome several challenges in order to put their concepts to production and ultimately to market.
Here are the top five issues that engineers experience while building complicated hardware solutions (and how Valispace may help them overcome them)
Managing complexity in product development.
Complex hardware products contain several components and subsystems that must be integrated and verified.
This can make keeping track of all the different elements and ensuring that they all operate together as intended challenging. Engineers must also examine the relationships between components and subsystems, as well as the influence of design modifications on the rest of the system.
Valispace provides a centralized platform for organizing all of your design data, allowing engineers to keep track of component engineering values and how subsystems interact with and effect one another.
Engineers can also quickly track the influence of modifications to specific design components on the entire system, ensuring that the design remains consistent and all changes are accurately recorded.
Working with remote teams:
With many engineering teams now working remotely, it can be difficult to coordinate effectively and guarantee that everyone is using the most up-to-date technical data. Engineers want a mechanism to readily communicate information and collaborate on ideas even when they are not physically present in the same area.
Valispace enables engineers to work in real-time across teams, iterating on system designs, specs, and documentation while monitoring the impact of changes on the whole project. Engineers may also readily share information and work on designs even when they are not physically in the same place.
Maintaining design integrity
As hardware devices get more sophisticated, engineers confront the additional task of verifying hundreds of criteria against a design that includes hundreds of components with varying characteristics that impact each other in a variety of ways.
The interwoven dependencies become overwhelming and tough to trace, making it difficult to maintain the design’s integrity and consistency.
Valispace guarantees that the design remains consistent and that all changes are accurately recorded and tracked, making tracking changes simple and giving a complete history of your design decisions.
Engineers can also quickly track the influence of modifications to specific design components on the entire system, ensuring that the design remains consistent and all changes are accurately recorded.
Meeting tight deadlines as an engineering team
Developing innovative hardware products may be competitive, requiring tight development timetables to stay competitive.
Complex data scattered across documents and asynchronous teams can cause delays and make it tough to discover issues early on. Engineers want a method to automate engineering procedures and make design modifications in real time.
Valispace streamlines engineering workflows by offering a collaborative platform for centralizing all non-CAD engineering data and allowing design modifications to be reflected in the whole system in real-time.
Engineers may work more effectively and fulfill tight deadlines by utilizing Valispace, which helps reduce time-to-market by maintaining a digital thread of your iterative design while continually assessing against limitations.
Managing risk during the development process
Developing complicated hardware products entails some risk, and it’s critical to be able to recognize and mitigate possible difficulties before proceeding to production and incurring costly delays.
Engineers require a method for assessing the probable consequences of modifications to a product design and making educated decisions on how to continue.
Valispace assists in identifying and assessing the possible consequences of modifications to a product design, allowing for better informed decisions on how to proceed and avoid risk.
Engineers can also quickly trace the influence of modifications to particular sections of the design on the whole system, ensuring that the design remains consistent and that any changes are correctly recorded, which may aid in identifying and mitigating possible difficulties prior to moving to production.
Developing sophisticated hardware goods is a difficult endeavor, and engineers must overcome several challenges in order to put their concepts to production and ultimately to market.
