Are there such companies that specialize in making existing products reliable and safe. Thanks.
P.S. I have a patent that I need to improve.

As a solo inventor I don't have the resources and the expertise that professional system integrators have( but typically these companies use off the shelf products for manufacturing and such). Moreover, my patent is related to construction industry, but many of these products are very unique and not produced in large scale, so expertise as such is much less. But yes I am looking for a company for a modest cost to help me make my product more reliable, sometimes small changes in metal type can make a big difference.CWatters said:Lot depends on the product. These days there are a lot of international standards products have to meet. They are different for different fields. Eg those for tractors are very different to consumer electronics.
Unless you are very rich your best bet it to find a company that designs similar products and do some sort of licensing deal.

ftr said:I already hold the patent and I have a working system. You don't seem to have any idea about engineering, there is a difference between having a working prototype and making it reliable with reduced meantime failure.
ftr said:I cannot divulge the information now for legal reasons. But It is in the same class as this one( but mine is much more versatile)
Making an existing product robust means improving the quality, durability, and reliability of the product to better meet the needs and expectations of consumers.
It is important for companies to make their products robust because it leads to increased customer satisfaction, reduced product failure rates, and ultimately, higher profits.
Some strategies companies use to make their products robust include conducting thorough product testing, using high-quality materials, implementing efficient production processes, and continuously gathering and implementing customer feedback.
Companies determine if their product is robust enough by setting specific criteria and conducting various tests and simulations to ensure the product can withstand different conditions and usage scenarios.
Yes, making a product too robust can be a problem for companies as it can result in higher production costs and longer development times, potentially making the product less competitive in the market. Companies must find a balance between robustness and cost-effectiveness.
