The Product Engineering Services (PES) team at Mistral has significant expertise in DFM (Design for Manufacturability). The design process adopted at Mistral aims at optimizing end-user requirements with the lowest cost design, material and process combinations; thereby ensuring a smooth transition into production, for quick time-to-market.
At Mistral, the team typically plans for two prototype runs: the first spin focuses on feature testing, and the second addresses FCC and manufacturability. Mistral follows the following best practices for a high-quality product design: one that aims to minimize the number of parts, create multi-functionality of the part, minimize part variations and create ease of handling.

|
Design verifiability into the product and its components to provide a natural test or inspection of the item | ||||
|
Work closely with industrial designer to avoid tight tolerances beyond the capability of the manufacturing processes | ||||
|
Design robustness into products to compensate for uncertainty in the product's manufacturing, testing and use | ||||
|
Design modular products to facilitate assembly with building blocks | ||||
|
Design modular parts, for ease of fabrication and commonality with other designs | ||||

FCC, UL certification, CE Marking compliance testing |
Mistral has a well defined sourcing process in place, which ensures on-time availability of components during the design life-cycle. This is backed by a mature process cycle adhering to the quality norms of ISO 9001:2008; making the services highly reliable and cost-effective, thereby offering faster turnaround.
