Rittenhouse can help build your NPI case by offering technology awareness in the context of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) and Return on Investment (ROI) dynamics. We can help you build and fortify your marketing models with a versatile library of practical engineering technologies. Even a well-engineered product can miss the mark in the marketplace. Develop your product with Rittenhouse to hit your markets with the right features and the right cost point.

We can help build and cultivate your market by allowing you to advance your ability to put pro-grade hardware and software into your customers hands quickly. Your ability to realize your concept sooner with Rittenhouse is your edge to defeat possible vaporware and your competition. Perhaps you’re a startup with a novel concept and you need demonstration prototypes to secure funding, venture capital, or investment viability. Or perhaps a larger organization looking for product feature concept validation. Rittenhouse can help with a solution that is right-sized for your goals.

From brand-new concepts to mature products with obsolescence issues, Rittenhouse will design different engineering technologies and manufacturing models to improve yield, ROI, and profitability with you in control. While some contract manufacturers will profess to offer design services, not all contract manufacturers are the same. While these CMs uses their strengths to differentiate their services amongst each other, any one contract manufacturer may not have the optimal mix of design skills versus production technologies for your project. Rittenhouse will equip you with the design and give you the knowledge to be able to choose the right CM on your own. Or, Rittenhouse can manage that process for you to allow you to focus on your core functions.

Some product developers completely ignore product compliance in the marketplace, or inform you post-project completion that compliance is your responsibility. The reality is that most electronics products will need some form of FCC compliance testing to ensure, for example, good product citizenship given intentional or unintentional radio frequency (RF) emission. Rittenhouse will walk you through what you need ahead of time, and can help design your product to get through the necessary compliance testing the first time.

Frequently, simple redesigns of an existing product can solve yield issues and add features to a product that can either defend or improve your position in the market while minimizing cost basis. Rittenhouse can help re-evaluate manufacturing models considering the currently deployed expertise through the lens of other technologies and focusing on your critical product line metrics.

Products will generally reach maturity as competition begins to displace them on the basis of better technology; market forces emerging something that is smaller, faster, or less expensive. Is there an opportunity to apply a new technology to an existing product to prevent others from overtaking it in the market? Or is there an opportunity to sell the product line to allow redirection of your current company resources? Rittenhouse can help with the evaluation of the product, possible redesign, and valuation of the product line to empower your organization to move forward in the best direction.
