We Often Work On These Kinds Of Products
We have a lot of experience in developing and manufacturing the following kinds of products:
Agilian Product Case Studies
Here is a selection of case studies of real projects where clients chose to work with us as their contract manufacturer.
Details about what the project was and the actions we took to support each client are included:
AHERA: IoT fitness tracking device
Ahera needed help on the mechanical and electronic design. The first prototype of the product & packaging was good enough to launch a crowdfunding campaign.
- Examples of design improvements we provided: customer came with an industrial design (aesthetic aspect), and we did all the detailed work (mechanical, electronic, firmware).
- Time from design to functional prototype: about 2 months
- Applicable certifications for selling in the EU & USA: Nil
- Tooling necessary for mass production: plastic casing; silicone seals
- Critical components: accelerometer chip, casing, Bluetooth chipset, battery
- Minimum order quantity in each color: No MOQ
- Number of assembly workstations: 10
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: PCBA testing
Alter RFS: Innovative filter system for cameras
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, this innovative product needed to be made by a capable and reliable manufacturer in China. We guided the founders of Alter RFS to set up a solid supply chain, and at the same time we worked on technical solutions to reduce production quality risks.
- Examples of design improvements we provided: Improve magnet assembly for lowering the loss rate as magnet insertion as magnet is brittle.
- Time from design to functional prototype: 3 months.
- Applicable certifications for selling in the USA: no
- Tooling necessary for mass production: Aluminum extrusion mold
- Critical components: CNC part with high precision
- Minimum order quantity in each color: 100pcs
- Number of assembly workstations: 10
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: magnet assembly, and hinge tuning for ideal torque force
NAOX: Integrated sports cap & sunglasses
NAOX needed help with design, engineering including material selection, prototyping and production.
- Key challenges: Working with a large number of suppliers covering different fields (textiles, PVC, plastic injection, silicon, packaging, logistics…), designing reliable and effective system to hold the glasses.
- Examples of design improvements we provided: The glass insertion system was developed and improved to meet comfort, cost, usability requested
- Time from design to functional prototype: 8 months
- Applicable certifications for selling in the EU & USA: FDA
- Tooling necessary for mass production: plastic injection
- Critical components: cap, sunglasses and insertion mechanism
- Minimum order quantity in each color: 200pcs
- Number of assembly workstations: 6
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: glueing process of the nose pad on the glasses.
High end electronic cigarettes and vapes
This company had already made several models with Chinese manufacturers and needed to develop a more unique and complex design. Timelines were very tight and the client wanted to minimize the risks of IP leakage.
Our in-house laboratory is equipped for e-cigarettes. We have various state of the art test equipment that’s helpful when producing and testing them, including, drop, vibration, shock, temperature and humidity ovens, package drop testers, but also e-cigarette automated suction test machine that would simulate an individual smoking an e-cigarette and capable of measuring the number of Hits, the amount of vapor (vapor density) and many other relevant parameters.
- Examples of design improvements we provided: quality improvements on plating (on aluminum casting), improved assembly process for fewer defects and higher efficiency.
- Time from design to functional prototype: 4 months
- Applicable certifications for selling in the USA: UL, FCC, FDA
- Tooling necessary for mass production: testing jigs (functional, dimensional, HASS…)
- Critical components: lithium polymer battery, cast metal alloy and PVD plating, PCBA and battery management system, borosilicate glass, heating ceramic
- Minimum order quantity in each color: between 50 and 10,000 pcs
- Number of assembly workstations: 35
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: what cannot easily be tested or verified (e.g. pinched wires when closing the casing)
Innovative pet cleaning products
- Examples of design improvements we provided: silent vacuum mechanism (500 watt motor) to avoid scaring pets, optimized airflow to cool the motor down
- Time from design to functional prototype: 7 months
- Applicable certifications for selling in the USA: UL, FCC
- Tooling necessary for mass production: some assembly jigs, airflow test, pressure test
- Critical components: motor, pump, PCBA
- Highest sources of risks on components: motor performance (heat, noise, flow)
- Minimum order quantity in each color: 1,000 pcs
- Number of assembly workstations: 15
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: airflow sealings
Sport massage accessories
- Examples of design improvements we provided: none (there was already a very mature design from the client)
- Time from design to functional prototype: 3 months
- Applicable certifications for selling in the USA: none
- Tooling necessary for mass production: assembly jigs
- Critical components: hinges (must make no noise), foam, metal surface treatments
- Minimum order quantity in each color: 1,000 pcs
- Number of assembly workstations: 10
- Highest sources of risks in assembly: ensuring hinge rotation remains within tolerances
