Pergamon partners with companies worldwide to develop successful and sustainable electronics manufacturing solutions. By carefully orchestrating the overall product life cycle, we strive to streamline your path to market while developing quality-backed products, optimized in terms of both cost and performance.
An Overview of the Product Life Cycle at Pergamon:
Transforming your ideas into successful electronics devices or components requires expert planning at every step of the production life cycle, beginning with the initial product development.
By integrating product development into the manufacturing and testing phases to follow, Pergamon helps ensure your end products meet all quality, regulatory, and functional performance requirements.
Whatever stage of the process your idea is in, we work with you to refine it into a scalable and sustainable product – from initial design to end-of-life.
- Stage 1 – Invent: All great products begin as great concepts or ideas. You initiate the entire process by thinking up a marketable product that accomplishes something novel, performs better than others, lasts longer, or otherwise brings something new to the table.
- Stage 2 – Prototype: The next step is often where Pergamon steps in. We help customers bridge the gap between concept and real working products. The prototyping process is sometimes straightforward, but often requires the kind of innovation and engineering expertise that Pergamon has delivered for more than 30 years.
- Stage 3 – Evaluate: We perform thorough design verification testing and validation to confirm the prototype meets all functional requirements and quality standards. We likewise ensure the design is fully optimized for manufacturability before production even begins.
- Stage 4 – Automate: Our manufacturing facilities integrate cutting-edge automated technology for rapid-response manufacturing and assembly. Our state-of-the-art production capabilities help us minimize your costs while meeting all of your supply chain challenges.
- Stage 5 – Produce: We combine all of the knowledge we gained throughout the design, prototyping, and verification stages to develop the most efficient and effective full-scale production methods possible, fine-tuned for your unique product and application.
- Stage 6 – Sustain: Our post-production and engineering support achieves better total life-cycle returns by incorporating end-user feedback into design improvements, extending the life cycle through management of component obsolescence, as well as planning product end-of-life requirements.
- Stage 7 – Improve: Every product offers unique opportunities for improvements in functionality, cost, and/or end user satisfaction. With Pergamon’s comprehensive production support and planning, you can position yourself to take advantage of these opportunities as new electronics technologies and markets emerge.
Sustainability Considerations for Product End-of-Life
Of course, successful product life cycle management must consider the product’s end-of-life. That means developing and manufacturing your electronics in such a way that minimizes the environmental impact when products are retired, recycled, or simply disposed of at the end of their useful life.
It’s no secret that electronics are a major source of end-of-life waste globally. Exacerbating the issue, it’s not uncommon for electronics components to include environmentally hazardous metals, non-biodegradable plastics, and other pollutant materials.
Successfully engineering the product’s end-of-life starts with maximizing its useful lifespan while also choosing designs and materials that are easier to recycle or dispose of, thus minimizing the overall carbon footprint.
Quality Electronics Manufacturing and Life Cycle Management
Pergamon provides comprehensive electronics manufacturing services which take into account the entire product life cycle. Backed by more than three decades of innovation and experience, we help our customers develop the best products possible for their unique applications – in terms of cost, quality, and performance.
