  Smart Toothbrush

  Challenge: Beam Technologies was looking to revolutionize the dental industry by providing “smart” toothbrushes that can sense the users' brushing patterns and connect the data to the phone. Their first version of product was launched in the beginning of 2013 when it was the first smart toothbrush on the market. Beam came to the Velocity Group in 2014 with a new design to bring their product to the next level. They were looking for domestic manufacturing to have their products made fast without sacrificing the quality in anyway.
  
  Solution: The Velocity Group was able to accomplish this mission and conquer the challenges. While Beam initially contracted us to make molds and assemble the products, we were also able to execute our extensive design and engineering skills to propose design changes and do rapid prototyping. It went through 16 design changes in 3 weeks, resulting in a better product with a more efficient assembly process. One big technical challenge was the two shot process Beam wanted to use. The normal two shot process makes the plastic shell and then puts the rubber over the outer layer. They wanted to make the plastic shell and put the rubber inside. Through design changes we were able to achieve this. Beam and Velocity Group have thus grown from a typical contractor-customer relationship to strategic partnership.
  
  Toothbrushes are classified as Class I medical devices and need to be assembled in a controlled environment that is FDA certified. It was the first time the Velocity Group had to set up a controlled environment, but we were able to accomplish this within a short turnaround. We learnt a lot about setting up the proper procedures and establishing documentation to protect the room’s integrity. In the process we have also achieved the ISO 13485 certification for the production of medical devices. This certification demonstrates the commitment of the Velocity Group to continually improve our capabilities to meet and exceed our customers’ satisfaction.
  
  "Velocity’s speed, flexibility and commitment allowed us to hit our dates and stay on track without sacrificing product quality in any way," said Alex Curry, COO of Beam Technologies. "It would have been much harder, if not impossible, to have reached this point with any other manufacturer."

  SafeCharge

  Challenge: SafeCharge, a powerhouse of technology, is a Secure Cell Phone Charging Station that allows the customers to use a credit/debit card to open a secure locker to charge their phone and later use the same card to retrieve the phone. Safe, convenient and hassle-free, it is the most sophisticated product in the market with its latest charging technology.
  
  As the business grows, the initial stage of in-house manufacturing has at times become inadequate to keep up with the increasing orders. SafeCharge was thus looking for additional resources and external partnership to overcome this challenge.
  
  Solution: To fulfill the growing demand, SafeCharge came to the Velocity Group for speed and high-quality build of their products. With our assembly facility located in Byesville, Ohio, not far away from SafeCharge’s base in Chicago, the clients were able to come down to our facility to demonstrate the assembly process. On the Velocity Group side, we quickly established a team to learn the steps, take the instructions, cross-train other assemblers, and immediately put it into action. To the clients’ great satisfaction, we were able to build and deliver the finished units ahead of schedule. All was accomplished in a highly efficient and organized way.
  
  Throughout the course of the project, the Velocity Group demonstrated its confidence and ability to learn about a new product of any type, take the components and build them into quality tested products. “The overall experience with the Velocity Group was awesome,” said David Adams, COO of SafeCharge. “The team was patient, and the work was amazing. From start to finish, it was a great experience.”

  Rapid Solar Panel Mounting Bracket

  Challenge: The CEO of Ecolibrium Solar came to the Velocity Group after a disappointing experience using off-shore resources for manufacturing and production of their innovative solar panel brackets. The supply chain was difficult to manage. Quality problems lead to an unacceptable level of parts rejected upon bound inspection and late shipments from suppliers resulted in production scheduling nightmares and delayed shipments. Collectively, these issues were consuming way too much of Ecolibrium management‘s time.

  Solution: The Velocity Group was able to step in and take over not only the assembly of these brackets, but was also able to assess the situation in reverse- from the assembly and distribution all the way back to the manufacturing of the parts themselves. This effort gave the Velocity Group the advantage to pinpoint the source of the bottle-necking that was happening and increase production while eliminating issues and hindrances in the entire production and assembly process. Using Six Sigma methodology and ISO approved processes- in ISO certified facilities. The Velocity Group was able to take the Ecolibrium project from project inception to production is just 5 weeks. This project is one that displays the Velocity Group’s unique ability to take a finished product and make the entire process- from manufacturing to assembly- more efficient and affordable so that our client, Ecolibrium Solar, could get back to doing what they do best.
