This is an approach to product development that takes the development out of a designer or programmer silo. It is a way of developing a product from the start to make it easier and more cost-effective to manufacture. The product design team includes manufacturing experts who consider manufacturing processes, materials, and assembly methods during the…

There is no typical timeline. Timeline varies greatly depending on the complexity of the product, but it can range from a few months to several years. The risks and trade-offs of the development timeline is the great discussion of the Requirements Definition phase.

Development projects always need to balance design requirements with budget constraints. Technology decisions, including major component selections, are rife with risks that must be mitigated. These risks can impact the development process, timeliness and product cost and performance. The integration of hardware and software is needed to ensure seamless interaction between the physical product and…

Prototyping is crucial for validating the design’s form, fit, and function. Testing the product’s performance before the development is completed helps get ahead of any potential design issues before initiating pilot run and mass production. Prototypes can often be used for preliminary testing and qualifications for safety and regulatory compliance. In many cases, prototypes are…

The front end of any development is the most important to reduce development risks. Patton begins with a thorough, multi-step process of Concept Development and Requirements Definition around a Preliminary Design Concept (loaded with block diagrams, technology decisions, and so forth.) From there, the basic milestones are Project Plan, Specification Review, Design, Pilot, Validation and…

Patton adheres to the standards, regulations, guidelines, and specifications governing each product we develop. Planning, know-how, risk mitigations and quality control are key elements of bringing compliant products to market.

Patton tests components, subassemblies and products throughout the product development process. We want to discover problems early and apply a systematic approach to ensure the product meets its stated requirements.

Patton has worked with all kinds of OEMs in Electronics, Aerospace, Medical Devices, Industrial Equipment, Machinery, Vehicles, Security, Surveillance, Emergency Response and Media Broadcast/Pro AV. We work extensively with Defense & Aerospace Contractors (such as Northrop, Lockheed Martin, L3 Harris, Raytheon, General Dynamics etc.), DOD, IC and other Government Agencies, Energy, Water, Utilities, Transportation, Big…

Patton started in 1984 as an OEM designing, developing and manufacturing our own products as a vertically integrated organization. We gained a ton of experience over 40+ years accumulating dozens of technology specializations. Our expertise includes Electronics & Low-Voltage Electrical Design, Cyber Security, Datacom, Telecom, Networking, Multi-Media (Data, Video, Audio, Signals), Fiber/Copper/Wireless/RF transport, C4ISR, TEMPEST,…

Yes. Patton normally starts with prototype quantities and small pilot runs before performing low-rate initial production (LRIP) and volume manufacturing. If Patton is taking over a mature, well documented product, we can move to volume production quickly.
