From technical challenge
to production reality.
Three examples of industrialization leadership, supplier collaboration and practical process development.
01 / Engineering software
Producibility Analysis Tool (PAT)
Early-stage producibility assessment and manufacturing risk analysis
PAT combines Design for Assembly principles with structured engineering assessments to estimate assembly time, identify manufacturing risks, evaluate operator requirements and assess automation opportunities before the first prototype build.
Challenge
To develop and implement a tool that can accurately estimate product assembly time, operator headcount, highlight potential bottlenecks and automation opportunities in early concept – All this before even a physical prototype is available.
Approach
Benchmark established Design for Assembly methodologies, simplify their application in the early concept phase, and calibrate estimated assembly times against measured assembly times. Refine the software through pilot projects and engineering feedback, adapting it to different product formats and components. Evaluate each assembly step against four criteria: material, assembly direction, guiding and fixation.
Application
Support earlier product-design feedback, production-line planning and requests for quotation through estimates of assembly resources, risks and equipment requirements.

Embedded battery industrialization
Project Lead for Industrialization
Challenge
Introduce an embedded-battery manufacturing process into high-volume production, with quality and repair considerations built in.
Approach
Established a cross-functional stakeholder team, facilitated PFMEA workshops, defined the target process and technical requirements, coordinated prototype testing and supported implementation.
Outcome
Assembly, test and repair processes were implemented at high-volume sites, alongside greater awareness of the quality risks associated with embedded batteries.

High-volume production automation
Project Lead for Industrialization
Challenge
Develop a fully automated high-volume manufacturing solution for the charging cradle of a key consumer product.
Approach
Collaborated early with R&D and four automation suppliers to develop and industrialize the production concept.
Outcome
A fully automated production line reduced direct manufacturing headcount by 20 operators and delivered a reported DKK 1.5 million cost saving over three years.
20
fewer direct production operators
DKK 1.5M
