Case Studies

Philips - Senseo Quadrante

Client
Philips Consumer Lifestyle is focused on improving people’s lives through timely innovations. As a world leader in lifestyle, Philips integrates technologies and design into people-centric solutions, based on fundamental customer insights and the brand promise of “sense and simplicity”.
 
The Challenge
Philips Consumer Lifestyle having its concept and general design on the new product Quadrante coffeemaker – Senseo family had to develop 32 injection moulding tools of all plastics for the product, and at the same time adjust product design to make it as simple and practical as possible. Also some of plastic components were to be sub-assembled before they go onto final assembly line. In the final phase, mass production of components had to be secured.
 
Bianor Approach
On the basis of received documentation and introduction Bianor has proposed to develop all 32 tools together with engineering supervision over design improvements. Also a solution for components’ sub-assembly was developed in-house. Co-development department of Bianor took responsibility for manufacturing of the tools in Europe and Far East. In-house assembly line was developed specifically for the products required by Client. Finally Bianor secured Philips with mass production of all 32 plastic components followed by sub-assembly service.
 
Advantages

- cost effectiveness by using Bianor project development and engineering capabilities,

- excellent communication and project reporting simplicity when compared to Far East solution,

- on-time product launch on the market,

- maintaining highest quality standards,

- quick reaction time to all undesired variations.
