When the development of a mechatronic module or machine is still in its early stages, prototyping provides valuable insights. This also applies when the design has already been worked out in detail. Prototyping gives us a proof of concept. The manufacturability of the product and minimising its production costs are central to this process.

Prototyping avoids unnecessary costs

Using the knowledge gained during prototype construction, we rapidly adjust the basic design when necessary. This prevents surprises, interruptions and high costs during production. With an optimised prototype, you can be sure your mechatronic module or machine performs and delivers optimal returns. 

Prototyping at VDL Industrial Modules

With decades of experience developing and assembling mechatronic systems, we know how to optimise production processes. VDL Industrial Modules is therefore a valuable engineering partner from the module or machine’s design phase. By considering manufacturability at an early stage, we keep costs to a minimum. 

Together, we determine the requirements your mechatronic system must meet. We then build the prototype in our own factory. Our specialists also test and validate the prototype in-house.

Are we both 100% satisfied with the prototype’s outcome? We then optimise the design, ease of use and production methods in subsequent phases. This results in a complete, final product ready to bring to market. We then move on to series production.
