Simplicity and Complexity

As many of you may know, we see some of the most interesting devices,testing equipment, AI bots, labeling tools and just cool gadgets you’ve ever seen. Still, every time we sit back and take a breath – another attention grabber lands in our laps.

We like to think that once an assembly reaches us for a quote or production run; it is complete and ready to go. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes just a few tweaks are needed. And sometimes the whole assembly needs to be re-thought in order to be cost effective and/or production ready.

This is where Paragon shines. We have the capability to make subtle (and not so subtle) adjustments to ultimately get your project in an economical and efficient place.

We recently sat in on an engineering meeting at a customer’s location to help iron out some anomalies with their unique build. It seemed that the customer supplied circuit board’s and custom labels’lead times were problematic.

We were able to alleviate the label issue by sourcing an alternate locally, but upon final review of the boards and their components with the customer for the final build, the overall design proved to be a much more complex issue.  As it turned out, the original components selected had gone obsolete and to build the design “As-Is”would have been a rather costly endeavor.  We utilized our internal Engineering Group to update the design of the board with new components that ultimately brought the cost of the completed board down by nearly 75%.  We provided the options for the build, and the rest is history!

So when is the best time to contact Paragon? Before you finalize your drawing! Our engineers specialize in the connectivity part of the devise you have worked so hard on. So let us help you avoid the pitfalls of troublesome sourcing and unnecessarily expensive components.
