Collaborative Design

We Make Your Solutions Happen

 

As the world's leading ePlatform services provider, Advantech has the business and technology maturity to work with you as your partner. Our collaborative design model focuses on the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of all product development phases.

With over twenty years of world-class design and manufacturing experience, Advantech has the business and technological maturity to work with you as a long-term ODM partner. We understand your cost consideration, unique design and manufacturing challenges, and the key market trends you face – time-to-market, rapidly changing technologies, and increasing design complexity.

Innovative Technology
  Advantech has been demonstrating its commitment to be a leading technology provider by developing new products using the latest technologies to ensure Advantech “leads from the front.”

New technologies as well as existing and future technologies will allow customers to quickly build their solutions by choosing from an intellectual property-based library of building block technologies, thereby responding to the market quicker. Customers can take advantage of Advantech’s wide knowledge pool and common "knowhow" from all ePlatform product divisions.

Our solutions cover a variety of industries, and as the global trusted ePlatform service provider, we have been committing to a continuous investment in our Research & Development, Design, and Manufacturing services. We have been contributing minimum 5% of our revenue every year toward our R&D innovation with over 30 new products and more than 100 patents introduced annually on average.

Advantech has one HQ Deign Center in Taipei/Taiwan, and three Regional Design Centers in Cincinnati/America, German/Europe, and Kun-Shan/China for the advanced technology development to keep our partners and ourselves ahead of the competition in the industry.

Advantech also plays a proactive role in various technical committees to ensure Advantech will be an active and influential member of industry standard setting organizations, this will ensure that product divisions continue creating leading products which adopt the newest standards. By harnessing all of our resources and promoting strategic collaboration between our product divisions and our technology partners, all of our customers will benefit.
 
Product Design
  At Advantech, we focus on providing product design services for product categories where customers place a high priority on protecting their intellectual property. When Advantech engineers are involved early in the product development phase, proper design decisions are made early in the development cycle, avoiding costly re-designs and re-manufacturing processes, which when combined with our efficient project management system can save considerably in product life cycle costs - from the initial design phase to manufacturing and repair.

Advantech HQ and Regional Design Centers provide streamlined Engineering Sample Innovation Service Model which integrates R&D Center, Product Management, Quality Assurance, Procurement, Segmented Manufacturing Units, and Engineering Sample Line to meet customer’s various requirements and market needs.

Our Engineering Sample Innovation Service integrates Quality Assurance with Product Design to shorten product development cycle. Our Engineering Sample Innovation Service Team will verify the product design to establish the qualification mechanism from pilot run to mass production to advance product manufacturing maturity and reduce the impact once product ramp up. Customers will be benefited by a faster engineering sample with lower cost.

We have what it takes to help you overcome these challenges and turn your vision into reality. Whether you are looking to put out hardware, software, or integrated solutions into the market, you will do it faster and better through the Advantech Premier Design & Manufacturing Service. You will get reliable, open-standards solutions from the leading innovator in development and manufacturing – plus dedicated resources and support to back them up. Our Premier Design & Manufacturing Services is the right choice for you. That is why we are the ODM partner of choice in Europe, Asia, and increasingly, North America.
 
Product Development
  We have documented "New Product Development Procedures"according to ISO 9001. Our Quality Engineering Division is responsible for design verification based on specifications, and QA Lab division is responsible for product safety regulation inspection and analysis reports. Verification reports are required for each development phase, ensuring traceability. All new product development projects are managed using Agile’s web-based NPI (New Product Introduction) software. The required resources are allocated and the schedule is managed by this software. As defined in NPI, there are phase reviews in each development stage.

Project Management is the key to delivering cost-effective and quality solutions on time. That is why our project management experts are dedicated to understanding your project needs and translating these into a comprehensive solution. We will walk you through the whole project process from conceptualization to design, from development to manufacturing and get you involved throughout the project planning process.

With our online Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) System and New Product Introduction (NPI) processes, we make the whole development process transparent to you. You can monitor the status of your project from the design phase to the manufacturing phase, and all the way to the logistics phase.

Our corporate website is designed to provide our customers with valuable interactive information. From our corporate portal, customers can access resources that are integrated with content from different sites, covering topics such as products, solutions, services and support, worldwide contacts and more.

We are dedicated to ensuring our customers' products move smoothly from design to production. Through our Premier D&MS package for design and manufacturability services, we ensure that volume production is achieved at the lowest total cost and highest quality possible.

Our services are leading edge and customized to the particular need of our clients. Our partnership with you begins by understanding your business goals, opportunities and organizational structure. With this information in mind we customize design and manufacturing services that are tailored to your needs.

Advantech customizes all the necessary skills and techniques needed to prepare products in volume per customer's requirements for the fastest time-to-market, time-to-volume and time-to-profit.

Through our design services, we help our customers ahead of the competition by shortening the product development cycle, and ultimately shortening the time-to-market. We continually modify and improve our engineering sample technology processes to prepare for product evolution and market needs.

Furthermore, Advantech's Research & Design resources also provide the flexibility our customers require. We are able to immediately and seamlessly integrate our customers' requirement into our design and manufacturing systems and equipment.
