What is Luxient’s Design Philosophy?

The fundamental objective of any product design is to ensure that the final product addresses current and foreseeable market needs and is responsible for positively influencing revenue generation throughout the life of the product.  This mandates that the design requirements are comprehensive and fully vetted before the project is implemented.  Several key principles that we incorporate to guide a successful design include the following:

• Market Input: Input from the market is probably the most important consideration when designing a new product.  Creating additional market opportunities and ensuring that customer’s needs are fulfilled and ensure that positive revenue results are realized throughout the life of the product are paramount.
• Future Features:  A new design is the perfect opportunity to incorporate disruptive features into the product that may shake-up the market.  The design must have adequate performance headroom and ubiquitous interface capability to support these new known features and the flexibility to support future unknown features.
• Functionality:  Ensure that the requirements and use-case scenarios are all satisfied with a comprehensive design that supports the product’s long-term roadmap.
• Reliability:  Design inherent reliability into all components to strive for an expected life cycle of the product that will exceed ten years of service or an appropriate lifecycle as defined by the client.  Providing an ‘engineered’ product instead of a ‘piecemeal’ assembled product is key to meeting the reliability and future viability requirements.
• Compatibility:  Efforts to provide backward compatibility with existing products and support infrastructure will be considered and evaluated to provide a reasonable upgrade path for the client. 
• Manufacturing Economics:  Manufacturing costs will be considered in all phases of the design to provide the most economical cost-to-functionality ratio that meets the market’s and client’s cost expectations
• Maintainability:  Serviceability of any hardware will be considered in the design to reduce repair time, ensure that sub-components are designed to be serviceable, and reduce periodic maintenance.
• Sustainability:  Ensuring a consistent build quality and component availability that will prevail throughout the product’s manufacturing lifecycle.
• Safety:  Mechanical and electrical designs will include the necessary features to mitigate potential user and service personnel safety hazards.
• Certification:  All aspects of mechanical safety, electrical safety, and radiated emissions will be considered in the design criteria to satisfy appropriate certification requirements.
• Collaboration:  Luxient anticipates working very closely with our client’s technical and business resources to ensure that the design is fully compatible with their expectations and capabilities.
• Responsible Manufacturing:  The design effort of hardware will include consideration for low-impact environmental consequences during manufacturing and consideration to end-of-life recycling options.
• User Welfare:  The design will incorporate any considerations that might improve the health and welfare of the user and is capable of adapting to the ever-changing societal concerns of target markets
• Support Capabilities:  Ensuring that the design will consist of an architecture that can be supported long-term by the client with existing or planned support resources. This includes both development resources and field-deployed product support personnel.
• Roadmap Compatibility:  Make sure that the new product enhances the current product suite roadmap and provides continuity to the overall, long-term product philosophy.
