APD recently undertook a cost reduction and design for manufacture project to improve the RTE8000 Travel Document Scanner.
Replacing expensive, screwed-together components with 2 injection moulded chassis enabled a reduced build time and helped to increase sales. PCB's are now clipped into the chassis which means big savings during assembly. The APD concept of building standard modules for stock and fitting customer options during final assembly is working well.
Chris Scorey of RTE said: "We are delighted. Our objectives have been fulfilled in excess of expectations. I would happily recommend APD."
During its first year the product was adopted by several governments, including the US Department of Homeland Security. Globally, it is one of the top three of its kind.
We work for all types of clients - from inventors to large multi-national corporations – and have designed products for various market sectors including telecoms, healthcare, consumer and industrial. Since 2002 our work has included award-winning new products, innovative patented solutions and projects to turn around the commercial viability of current products.
