Power Tools

Home > Case Studies > Case Study

With less than 10% of the world's power tool market share, our client set its sights on improving quality and product development efficiency while increasing sales.

New Power Tool

ITI's System Engineering / Analysis Leads Design (SE/ALD™) was used to create a new cordless power tool.

With SE/ALD™ baseline simulation models are employed up-front in development to analyze and visualize design alternatives and optimize designs that correlate with actual test data.

SE/ALD™ impacts development time by eliminating the need to build multiple physical prototypes.

Results

The new, more robust tool was in the hands of customers in half the time of conventional product development methods. With Best-in-Class performance and low noise levels, consumers eagerly embraced the tool.

Capturing Numerous Awards:

• Technical Achievement Award
  Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association
• Design Award 2003
  German International Forum
• Japan's Good Design Award
• An almost perfect score in consumer tests Germany's Heimwerker Test Magazine

Building on Success

Having adopted SE/ALD™, the client is forecasting continued growth in the power tools market. At the same time, other businesses within organization are adopting SE/ALD™ for the development of new products.
