Your Product
ComplianceWe can help with picking the path through the compliance development mine field:
  • Medical
  • Intrinsic Safety
  • Plant Control
Our norms for product development for these applications are comparable to our larger compeditors.
And we make the following assurance:
  • No promises made that simply cannot be met
  • We always tell you what you need to know so you can make the most imformed project management decisions
  • We always keep you informed
ManufacturingNever underestimate the power of automated testing.
The cost saving, even with an just automated functional test, can make the difference between project success and project failure.
  • opportunity cost
  • time delays
  • staff cost
  • customer perception
SupportThe product design may be finished when the first manufactured components are sold and commissioned, but the product life cycle certainly has not.

ExampleFurzy Norms Competitor / Client Norm
Industrial Isolator

Fit for Purpose /
Compliance with the LAW		Any reasonbale risk assessemnt shows our design fit for sale, and a significane improvement in compliance with the law and functional safety.

Common external wiring faults result in the plant remaining on a safe state.

Gas Sensor interface integrated into Isolator.
Isolator opens automatically on legislated gas levels.		Any reasonable pre emptive risk assessment shows the clients existing product was unfit for sale.


Common Wiring Fault (open cirucit) results in isolator "stuck ON".

Gas Sensor not integrated into isolator, only a warning to the operator.
General

Time to Manufacture - Manufacturing Test System		Depending on the requirements, we develop automatic/semi-automatic testing systems / jigs as we develop the product.

Any delay to manufacturing from acceptance / verification testing is normally very short, and mainly relates to improving the testing software so that lower cost / lower skilled persons may operate the testing.		Test System development starts after product development has completed initial acceptace / verification testing.

Depending on the complexity of the tests involved, and the records to be kept, that can add a significant delay before manufacturing can commence.

We have seen entire projects fail at this stage.
Product Design

Medical Instrument		1 year (3 days / week) to full 60601 and EMC compliance

We helped relook at the requirements specification in conjunction with implementation strategies.

We proposed a new implementation strategy quite different to the existing design culture used.
We addressed the clients perceived risks in the new strategy by providing cut down proof of concept models.

We provided a complete new hardware design and low level firmware ready for acceptance testing and design verfication.		over 2 years
no compliance
prototype still did not meet requirements specifications.
Product Design

Communications Signal Processing		4 months to inital hardware and firmware.
1 further month for installation and testing.

How?

Some DSP filter design and implementation on an ARM7 single chip controller.		our client commented that our viable competition had responded no bid, the technology was no longer manufactured, not possible to implement.
