Getting to Know PADT: Product Development Services

Categories:
This post is the ninth installment in our review of all the different products and services PADT offers our customers. As we add more, they will be available here.  As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to info@padtinc.com or give us a call at 1-800-293-PADT.

semiconductor equipment alpha machine The “D” in PADT stands for design.  It has been an integral part of PADT’s service offering since the company was started. Design, or more broadly Product Development, is the engineer process of defining, designing, testing, prototyping and transferring the manufacturing of a product.  From concept to manufacturing, or any point in between, PADT’s engineers can help with product development.

Doing product development with PADT is about defining product requirements and then stepping the team through a proven process that iterates efficiently and results in working hardware that has been tested and verified. This approach works across industries.  We have worked on products for golfing, designed the insides of an electric vehicle fast charger, designed and built an alpha-machine for semiconductor manufacturing, reconfigured the configuration of an avionics device, developed several medical devices through clinical trials, and tested the fittings on an artificial heart.

We specialize in working with companies that have an engineering staff, but don’t have the specialization or capacity need to complete a project entirely in-house.  Our engineers become part of the customer’s team and can work on specific tasks, a subsystem of the product, or complete the entire process.  Regardless of the scope, it comes down to our providing our customers with experienced and capable engineers that can plug in where they are needed.

There are four characteristics that set PADT apart from other design houses that help with product development:

We have been providing product development services since 1994.  As of this post being published, we have 30 engineers onstaff and we have helped over 400 customers with their product development needs.  Many of those customers choose to use PADT over and over again letting us design and test their products.

Problem Solvers

What sets PADT apart from most providers of design or product development is the fact that we are problem solvers.  Product development is primarily the process of identifying problems and finding solutions. And that is what our engineers excel at and thrive on.  We are brought in by customers because we can answer the tough questions.

Project Management

Product Development Process 2012 09 27 It does not matter how experienced your staff is, or how amazing your tools and equipment.  To be successful in product development you need to have a proven Project Management process.  PADT’s process has been developed over decades to provide a flexible methodology to ensure requirements are defined, that they are met on time.  It drives the entire process to achieve deliverables on-time and on-budget with minimal customer oversight.

Complete Solution

Project managers and design engineers work with simulation, test, software, and manufacturing engineers to address the needs of the complete product lifecycle.  Almost every capability that is needed is available within PADT’s walls, and a tested network of approved vendors fills in any missing needs.

One of the best ways to understand these difference is to watch our video on Product Development here:
