Prototype-Focused Production Under Budget Constraints
The project required high-quality prototypes within a tight ₹45 Lakhs budget, prioritizing aesthetics and speed over scalability.
Complex Multi-Material Assembly Integration
Integration of PDC parts, ABS plastics, transparent PC covers, and machined components required expert coordination across multiple suppliers.
Strict Timelines with QA Oversight
Completion was mandated within 3.5 months, with daily QA involvement, live updates, and zero tolerance for delays.
- Delivery Assurance
Customer Key Challenges
The challenge encompassed complex systems integration, accelerated development cycles, tolerance-driven fabrication, and robust operational oversight.
- Quality Transparency
Key Highlights
Frigate applied advanced engineering, precise process integration, rapid manufacturing, and transparent quality systems to deliver the prototype.
Key Highlights
The prototype featured a multi-component assembly involving PDC (Pressure Die Cast) components, ABS plastic bezels, transparent polycarbonate covers, and precision-machined parts. Each part required specific, high-precision manufacturing techniques for optimal integration.
The polycarbonate covers demanded high clarity and precise color matching for the bezels. The product also required integrated art printing with high resolution to ensure the lock met both functional and aesthetic standards.
Since the prototype was meant for international expo display, it had to endure repeated handling and demonstrations without compromising its finish, fit, or functionality. Material selection and assembly precision were critical to ensuring lasting presentation quality.
