Alternative Energy
There has been a rapid acceleration of new alternative energy products driven by the rising cost of energy and related concerns of energy dependence. Successful manufacturers are facing the challenge of rapidly increasing their manufacturing capacity to meet immediate and growing demand. Segue is well positioned to support the migration of the end markets to China and is a critical partner to several of these manufacturers.
Segue offers:
- Ramp Readiness: Planning, documenting and increasing production using the latest techniques associated with DFM, DFT, JIT, Lean Principles and Vendor Managed Inventory. Managing a global supply chain and internal manufacturing resources to ramp production volume to respond to growing demand while reducing cost.
- Cost Competitiveness: Segue delivers full turnkey contract manufacturing solutions, utilizing our low cost engineering, electro-mechanical design expertise, global sourcing, cable and harness manufacturing and in house machining capabilities.
- Reducing Time to Market: Segue works collaboratively with several industry leaders and provides engineering services that reduce cost and speed time to market by:
- Documenting prototype and preproduction designs from concept sketches or detailed drawings.
- Producing key components from prototype through production as an integral member of the design
- Designing and building functional test equipment to insure that the product conforms to the specifications of the application and the highest possible quality product is delivered.
- Working collaboratively to respond to engineering changes as products are refined to reduce cost or implement reliability upgrades.
