Product Design & Development

​
Product development starts at the idea generation stage. But every idea doesn’t get transformed into a successful product. Product designing and development not only requires specialized skills but also an investment of time and money. Efforts taken in product development cannot be measured only in monetary terms. A product gets its value only when the customer understands the criticality of its design and functionality.
​
8andH helps you validate your concept and convert it into real products.
Our core focus on designing includes aesthetics as well as the functionality of the product.
We make sure that your product looks great and is functionally superior to other competitors in the market.

Our Product Design and Development Services

We offer Product or market research services to provide insights into various attributes of the products such as material properties, performance data, probable manufacturing cost, feature study, etc. The benchmarking provides pertinent product changes or recommendations to gain competitive advantage.

8andH provides CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) and non-CAE analysis for our clients. Our highly skilled engineers possess deep domain knowledge and work on a range of engineering analyses to arrive at accurate results. The various services we offer are value engineering, FEA (Finite element analysis), CFD, and Thermal analysis.

This is an added phase in our process where a customer shares their idea with us so we can bid on it. It’s common practice to sign a non-disclosure agreement up front with the customer to keep what is discussed confidential (keeping a customer’s information confidential is something we do even without the agreement in place unless agreed to by the customer). At 8andH, we believe that the style and aesthetics of a product are as important as its functionality.

In this phase, we create a preliminary design based on the specifications agreed upon in the discovery phase. We create an engineering model and do any other engineering and design that is necessary to flush out the product so that there is a high level of confidence that the design will work before proceeding to detail the parts and creating engineering drawings and documents.

8andH has established itself as a supplier of quality engineered material handling solutions. Whether your need is for a single component or a fully integrated handling system, let 8andH help you stay competitive by creating an efficient and economical solution for your material handling challenges. Our extensive experience providing turnkey system solutions has positioned 8andH as a premier material handling equipment integrator.

The success of any product depends on the type of material used in its manufacturing. Material selection is reliant on the attributes planned for the product as per the consumer’s preference and cost of Manufacturing. We help our client in material selection to make their manufacturing process simpler and cost-effective.

Owing to regular changes in the product requirements, complex supply chains, and shorter lead times the ability to execute ECO (engineering change orders) has become critical in the product development process. The engineers at 8andH have an in-depth understanding of ECR/ECO/ECN processes and can manage engineering change efficiently and effectively throughout the product development cycle. We help simplify the entire engineering change management process, thus reducing cycle time and faster exe

Most of this phase is for detailing the design and creating engineering drawings and documents of the design presented at the Preliminary Design Review. Any changes or modifications to the design requested by the customer at the Preliminary Design Review are also incorporated before drawings are made. Once drawings and necessary documents are completed, these are sent out to manufacturing houses for a quote so that the customer will have a detailed price for the building of the product.

At 8andH, we offer end to end DFM and DFA services to our clients for both new as well as existing product designs. We design the products to perform specific functions keeping the manufacturing cost in mind and make sure the products stay competitive in the marketplace. In Design for assembly, we review the current design with an eye for elements and features of the design which can be improved in order to eliminate or minimize the touch labor.
