In an industrial world undergoing radical change, the challenges are major. They are first and foremost technological, as products and services have to be adapted to the challenges of lower pollutant emissions. But industry must also adapt to new constraints linked to high variability and uncertainty over product lifetimes and associated volumes, while keeping manufacturing costs under control.
From process engineering to product co-development
Drawing on over 35 years’ experience in the design of production facilities, OSE has decided to offer its customers support in the overall product development process, in order to integrate these new constraints. Integrating process constraints right from the upstream design phases, while bringing in industrial know-how and innovative technologies, is a guarantee of success.
Through an iterative approach based on agile methods, each sprint leads to a concrete deliverable, which ensures control of the overall development cycle. OSE has integrated a number of experts (electromagnetics, thermics, finite elements, power electronics, on-board computing, etc.) to dialogue more easily with its customers’ R&D units.
The latest example: a stator for the aerospace industry
By integrating specific technical skills in the forming of copper alloy flats and in the evaluation of assembly solutions, we co-developed with our customer a product whose performance exceeded by more than 25% the usual performance of the old motors it replaced.
Up to the production of representative samples
Our application laboratories serve overall project performance: we put our laboratory machines at the service of proofs of concept, prototypes or pre-production runs, producing the few head-of-series that enable us to evaluate or certify products on equipment close to series production.
