Concept to Creation: Challenges and Solutions
Duron Industries LLC was created to make a difference in the manufacturing industry.
We believe that by leveraging our expertise and experience, we can help educate you to achieve your creation. We provide customized solutions at the highest industry standard while incorporating the latest technology and leading practices to provide design for manufacture, electronic product development, prototype manufacturing, and engineering services.
Our company was founded to help you achieve your design and manufacturing potential and we’ve even taken the manufacturing process a step further. We are a one-stop shop and we handle the full-scale process for you. Instead of procuring from different distributors, vendors, engineering consulting companies, and manufacturers and juggling multiple quotes, you save time and money by trusting one source. As a small business, we understand the pains and challenges and are here to offer solutions.
Most Common Challenges
When creating a product, your customer relies on you to take the necessary steps to ensure its success. They trust that you have the knowledge to come through for them, so our experts at Duron Industries provide blogs to help you through the process.
There are challenges that you are going to face and we're here to help you every step of the way by explaining how to sidestep issues and turn your project into a success. Below are common issues that you might have but can be solved with our experts.
Challenge 1: Finding the Right Engineer
The Best Engineers
Scenario 1:
As a design engineer, you finally have the go-ahead on a new project but your team is allocated to other projects and you don't have the resources available to meet the deadline.
Scenario 2:
After months of envisioning a new, exciting product you’ve decided to take the plunge and develop your invention.
Whether you're an engineer or an inventor you have a timeline and a budget. You’re challenged with finding top quality, yet affordable engineers- and fast. This process can be time-consuming unless you strategize with the quality engineers at Duron Industries.
Your Next Steps:
1) Find an engineer that specializes in your project
Challenge:
Scheduling meetings with your engineering team and managers just to find out that no resources are available, weeks have been wasted and it's getting closer to your deadline.
-or-
Reaching out to multiple engineering companies, and potentially wasting weeks waiting for each response and quote to see if they can complete the task within your deadline.
Our fix: We meet your deadlines by having a 24-hour response time and same-week availability to meet with you to discuss your project.
2) Request a quote
Challenge: With other engineering companies, waiting for a quote can take weeks or longer, especially with large engineering firms working on multiple projects.
Our fix: Our fast response time can get you a quote the same week. Our complimentary white glove service ensures that a C-level executive will be assigned to oversee your entire project from start to finish.
3) Provide your design or have an engineer create one
Challenge:
If you don’t have a design you will probably have to find a different engineering firm to create one. Not all engineers do both design and manufacturing.
-or-
If you do have drawings and a bill of materials, it's more likely in the preliminary stage and hasn't been checked for compliance and industry standards. This may require revisions.
Our fix: We do it all. And we find out exactly what you need at the initial consult, saving you time. Our design experts can provide documentation and drawings with a quick turnaround or use yours, and also manufacture it.
4) Manufacture (Building the prototype)
Challenge: Not all engineering companies can consult, design, and assemble the prototype which leaves you shopping for another company or engineer.
Our fix: We do all three services. We will consult, design, and build the prototype.
5) Make sure your product is compliant
Challenge: You need to make sure your product is safe and works properly.
Our fix: Safety is our top priority. Recent news has proven that some of the large companies miss the mark when it comes to taking the right safety measures. We have a multi-step process to make sure your project meets Quality Assurance (QA) and is safe and functional.
6) Meet your deadline
Challenge: Other engineering companies get busy and can’t always confirm or prioritize your deadline. If they say they can, typically they are late with deliverables.
Our fix: We are a small company, able to give a personalized touch to your project and keep you informed every step of the way. We also provide expedited service so you meet your deadlines.
Challenge 2: Incomplete or No Documentation
Scenario 1:
Challenge:
As an engineer, you're asked to retrofit an obsolete unit and you realized the bill of materials is outdated with obsolete components.
Our fix: When we receive a bill of materials we review it immediately when we start the assembly process. Then we procure your parts and material to let you know if anything is missing . We even go a step above by sourcing the missing material and provide an alternate before we contact you so that we can create a complete and final bill of materials.
Scenario 2:
Challenge: You're asked to repair a unit by the mechanical manager with no documentation (drawings, schematics or bill of materials) and you don't know where to start.
Our fix: We have repaired a variety of electrical products, replacing the bad components and testing for functionality. Our team has years of experience in reverse engineering units with little to no documentation. We find the correct part and also create documentation for you to use for future repairs.
Request a quote
Challenge: You need a custom cable made to power a unit before testing and other companies are working on other projects and can't turn the cable around to meet your deadline.
Our fix: Our experts our thoroughly experienced in designing and assembling various cables. We will respond to you within 24 hours, expedite any order to meet your deadline and provide you a quote within days.
