At Celestica, we use the power of our engineering expertise to help our customers design innovative medical products that reduce product costs and accelerate time-to-market. Read more about our proven Celestica’s Value Analysis Value Engineering (VAVE) approach.
Celestica is focused on a number of key areas in the HealthTech sector. Our engineering teams understand the needs of our customers and end user patients. They draw on manufacturing experience and working for Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) companies
when it comes to initial product design. Our OEM customers come to us with an initial concept and we provide the detailed engineering development solutions required to get them to market as quickly as possible. Or in other cases, customers already
have a design at prototype stage and our engineers help make the design more manufacturable. This involves optimizing the design for usability, developing supply chain and manufacturing strategy for volume production as well as performance and quality
testing services.
Engage Engineering Teams Early
Skipping comprehensive design analysis early on can lead to costly delays, product malfunctions, or failures. By involving manufacturing engineers early in the design process, companies can identify potential issues like complex geometries or difficult
assembly steps, optimize material selection, and design for quality, ultimately reducing costs, accelerating time-to-market and meeting healthcare and FDA regulatory requirements.
Balance Speed to Market, Scalability, Cost, and Quality in Medical Device Production
The solutions that medical OEMs are developing today will play critical roles in combating the global crisis of chronic diseases like diabetes. Celestica supports a wide range of customers at various states of maturity, each working to bring new products
to an array of markets. We’re building surgical instruments and medical devices related to diabetes care, patient monitoring, diagnostic imaging, in vitro diagnostics, and robotics. The sheer breadth and variety of these demand innovative thinking
to bring new solutions to new problems. And the skills and capability we gain solving these problems today, can be applied to another new solution tomorrow. OEMs should consider the product design process as a key component in their overall risk mitigation
strategy. Prioritizing Design for Manufacturability, Design for Supply Chain, and Design for Quality will enable the manufacturer to strike the right balance of speed to market with scalability, cost and the highest level of quality that any product
designed to improve a person’s health must achieve.
