In our posts we have often referred to the concept of ergonomics. Indeed, in designing our products, we take into consideration all the features that influence a product's functionality, which are essential for facilitating both production and use. In this post we would like to explore this concept a little further.
For a company in Fano, Italy, specializing in onboard wiring and systems for yachting, we make membrane switches used for managing and adjusting lighting inside yachts. A collaboration that came about when the company sought a new supplier capable of guaranteeing higher quality and high flexibility in handling variants and graphic customizations of the product.
MCS is celebrating 40 years of business activity this year. For this reason, the protagonist of the first post of 2023 is Mr. Giorgio Vignaga, founder of the company, managed today by the children Alessandro and Valeria.
Innovation and investment in new equipment are the lifeblood for us as well as for any company. All investments are motivated and incentivized by several factors such as: curiosity and passion for news sector, production needs, implementation of complementary processes, and-last but not least-the desire to provide more and more value to our customers.
Ready and operational is the new 3D printing facility, which will enable us to provide significant added value to customers: on the one hand, greater levels of production flexibility and product customization, and on the other hand, a significant enrichment of product design and functionality.
We continue to get to know the professionals in the different areas that make up the company. In this interview we have a brief chat with Mrs. Valeria Vignaga, Administration and Finance Manager.
We solved an outdoor environment resistance problem on membrane switches for one of our customers, using high-performance materials tested in severe environments such as nautical or agricultural.
For about 16 years we have been working with a company that supplies electrical and electronic systems to almost all the top brands in the RV motorhome and caravan sector. We supply them with electronic control unit front panels for their medium to high-end fittings, and display frames for their "luxury sector," receiving excellent feedback for the quality of the achievements and our proactiveness.
For one of our client companies, we made front panels in plexiglass (or PMMA) for an IOT chronothermostat, helping it to find the most suitable functional and aesthetic solutions. The new product is unveiled for the first time at MCE in Milan exhibition.
A complex and in some respects "delicate" work has forced us to propose an alternative solution. In cases like this, creative techniques like the SCAMPER model are useful.
