MDI Case Study CUSTOMER: Hewlett Packard, Wilmington, DE REQUIREMENTS: Increase production throughput of a processing step that conditions a key component part for a high tech laboratory instrument. The equipment to be developed was required to precisely hold a multitude of components, pressurize selected ports on each, heat and cool them based on a programmed recipe.
MDI SOLUTION APPROACH: Our design team met with the client's project team to gather, discuss and analyze all their wants, needs, and constraints for this equipment. A preliminary requirements specification was developed. Equipment design concepts were created by MDI's design team. Refinement of both the requirements specification and design concepts took place during a review meeting with the client's team. A path forward was selected and the design work commenced. MDI created the equipment design and complete documentation package. After a final design review, the system's components were fabricated and assembled. RESULTS: The client's project team visited MDI for comprehensive testing of the system. The tests demonstrated and confirmed achievement of all required functions. The client put the system into use at their manufacturing facility. Mission accomplished.
