Smart Toothbrush

  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."
