Design Services
As well as having considerable engineering expertise in-house, with over 50 qualified engineers and production engineers, AWs also partners with a small number of design houses specialising in such fields as military, aerospace, scientific instruments. oil, gas & mining etc. Thus AWS can offer a comprehensive design service including:
- Functional and technical specification,
- Functional design,
- DfX, design for manufacturing, test, cost, maintenance
- PCA and unit layout,
- Enclosure design,
- Styling,
- Product integration
- PCB layout
AWS use concurrent engineering techniques including information sharing, document handling, configuration control, change management, release control, process control and team co-ordination.
Used within a proactive project management framework to coordinate the various advanced engineering services, these techniques and application tools ensure that difficulties are identified before they become problems and that success is by design not accident.
Using proven design tools and practices, combined with the services of specialist partners, AWS are able to fully support clients' design teams and have the capability to take manufacturing projects from concept to completion ensuring delivery to specification, on-time and to budget.
