Although we are just starting up Asperis, the founding team has the relevant experiences and competencies required to quickly set up and deliver on our commitments
Proven track record of product development for military applications
Proven track record of industrial production for industrial and military applications
Proven track record of delivering reliability and quality for demanding customers
Strong network of suppliers and partners
During our build-up phase we rely on equipment and some other resources from Lohmega AB and Yesway Sweden AB, both well equipped for the type of products we plan. We also have access to a fully equipped mechanic workshop.
As we grow we will build up our own lab and acquire the needed development equipment but initially we will focus on investing in manufacturing facilities and equipment.
The founders have an extensive network of people and partners that has been built up over many years. These are not formal partnerships but an informal network that we can draw on when needed. We have exceptionally good connections with some ECAD and Instrument vendors and good connections with most distributors. We also have a pool of subcontractors that we have worked with for many years and can rely on for fast reaction when needed.
We are flexible and aim to find long term partners and customers where we together create a win-win scenario. In general, our prefered approach would be:
We develop and maintain the designs we manufacture. This enables us to support better throughout the product life cycle.
We retain IP and rights to common buildingblocks and pre-developed solutions. This saves time and cost for our customers.
Customers have exclusive rights to their products and we offer design and ownership transfer in the event of default or significant delivery issues. This provides security and guarantees continuity for our customers.
We can charge full NRE and lower unit price or no NRE if there is a volume commitment. This provides flexibility to our customers.
We strive for long term relationships where we can reinvest significant resources into proactive and speculative development in collaboration. This helps us anticipate customer needs and makes us a true partner.
We develop products that are often planned to be in production for long periods of time, and where the product might also evolve over time. This is always complex and poses significant challenges, but there are things we can do to mitigate this:
Design in multiple solutions for key components where possible
Design with long product life cycle designated components where possible
Design with safety margin on component specs
Design with multiple suppliers in mind
Always in dialog with customer to balance any potential cost increases
There will still be a risk for changes and challenges. This is another reason why we prefer to manufacture what we develop and supply complete sub-assemblies. If something happens, we have the in-house expertise to manage product changes during the lifetime together with the customer, no matter if it is driven by component EOL, new product requirements, supplier issues or something else.
We design with safety margin to specifications and have access to test equipment and facilities during development. Experience and early informal testing is key to ensuring we meet requirements and will pass formal testing and verification at external laboratories on first try without the need for late modifications that drive cost and delay projects. We have contacts at and have used several different labs such as RISE, Intertek, Nemko, SGS, DNV, TÜV, EMPA and others.
Production is key to Asperis, and our customers. Great development is useless if we cannot deliver on quality, on cost and on time!
We balance cost, speed and control by managing final assembly and testing in-house but outsource PCBAs, mechanics, cabling etc to multiple suppliers for redundancy and risk reduction. In house assembly also allows us to effectively manage external assembly support should the need arise.
Supplier selection and management is key for long term stable production. We have a strong existing network of proven suppliers and partners and the experience to choose and develop new ones as our requirements evolve.
We will build up systems and processes with quality and traceability but formal ISO certification will come later.
