Blue Sky Labs offers a variety of services to help our clients achieve their objectives: addressing
new markets to increase revenues, reducing production costs, improving operating efficiency, and
increasing value to customers by achieving higher levels of service. We can work to complement
in house abilities or develop whole projects.
New Product Development
Blue Sky Labs has developed several new products for our clients. In the
Virtual Visit Video Conferencing project, we simply provided
a specific solution to complete a client's development efforts. In developing the
Netwave Interferential Stimulator, we
worked with the client through the entire process: developing a sense of the market opportunity, creating
the initial feature specifications, writing the specification documents, and deciding on trade-offs. We worked
closely with these clients to understand their customers' needs and their business goals. Our engineers
enabled fast development, intelligent decisions, and visibility in to the process.
The result was a solution that delivers value to end customers and renews profitability for our clients.
Key value that we provide our clients include: guidance on specification decisions, translation of engineering
options in to cost-benefit scenarios, and a Design Library to reduce time
to market.
Hardware Design: Reducing Cost of Production
In the NTS2 Cost Redesign, Blue Sky Labs successfully reduced the client's
cost of production by over 60%, enabling them to simultaneously
lower prices, grow sales and increase profitability. We achieved lower costs by finding less expensive vendors, re- designing products to avoid expensive components, and manufacturability. One key driver
in lowering costs was utilizing a general microprocessor that is powerful and manufactured in high volume. We
then provided custom software to meet the client's needs, without the need for expensive specialized components.
Using general hardware lowers cost, increases flexibility, and allows for low-cost feature upgrades.
Database and IT Design
Blue Sky Labs' IT consulting services can help you improve your fulfillment, inventory management, and information
storage and
distribution systems. We can help you reduce your order-completion time, free up capital locked in inventory,
reduce inventory carrying expenses, and protect your information from loss, and make sure your employees
have the information they need to make profitable decisions.
The proper IT systems can improve your responsiveness and flexibility in serving your customers. By making your
process more adaptable, our IT consultants can make sure your employees have information, options, and control
they need to close and fulfill their sales.
And as with DeviceData our systems can be used to enable low-cost
remote monitoring and administration of devices in the field. Clients can offer services that were previously
not feasible, while reducing the cost of supporting customers.
Turnkey Manufacturing
We also offer our clients full manufacturing management services. Working with
Velocitech, we handle all aspects
of production: parts procurement, assembly, testing, and validation. Our clients simply provide a purchase order, and
we take care of the rest. Combined with our design services, our clients get fully customized products,
with the simplicity of buying units off the shelf!
