A softer key feel without a new enclosure tool.
Constraint
A 42-key handset needed a quieter, shorter key travel, but the enclosure tool was still in good condition and the launch date did not allow a new tool.
Route
We re-cut the silicone keypad and conductive pads, kept the enclosure, and validated feel against a signed golden sample before the pilot run.

Sealed buttons for a wet-room control.
Constraint
A wall-mounted control needed backlit legends, a sealed keypad and a clean edge where the housing met the tile.
Route
Silicone moulding, enclosure sealing and the control board were developed as one assembly, then inspected as one finished part rather than three components.

Two suppliers replaced by one tool family.
Constraint
The enclosure, silicone keypad and control board had been sourced separately, and each supplier used a different inspection sheet.
Route
We consolidated the drawings, built the tools in one tool room, and set one inspection standard for the finished controller — including key travel and legend alignment.

A seal that keeps its compression set.
Constraint
An equipment enclosure needed a moulded seal that would hold its shape through repeated compression and cleaning cycles.
Route
Compound selection, compression moulding and a defined deflashing step, with batch records kept with the shipment so the material lot can be traced.
