Project Overview
Spike Electric partnered with Mayer – Mobile /RFT Project Services to develop and manufacture custom Bolted Pressure Switches designed to meet unique project requirements.
This project involved the development of a new switch design and required close collaboration between engineering and production teams to transform the concept into a functional, reliable product within an aggressive timeline.
Key Outcomes / Success Points
- Successfully developed and delivered a custom bolted pressure switch solution tailored to the customer's requirements.
- Demonstrated Spike Electric's engineering and manufacturing capabilities by bringing a new design from concept to production.
- Maintained project momentum despite tight deadlines and evolving design requirements.
- Fostered strong collaboration between mechanical engineering and production teams to ensure a successful outcome.
- Delivered a quality product that met project objectives while supporting the customer's schedule.
Notable Challenges Solved by Spike:
This project presented a significant challenge as it involved the development of a new design under a highly compressed schedule, making it more of a research and development effort than a standard production build.
To meet the customer's timeline, Spike Electric dedicated substantial resources beyond normal working hours, including evenings and weekends.
Mechanical engineering personnel worked side-by-side with the production team throughout the development process, rapidly evaluating design concepts, resolving manufacturing challenges, and refining the product as it progressed.
Through this collaborative approach and commitment to meeting customer expectations, Spike Electric successfully transformed an innovative concept into a completed product while maintaining the project's aggressive schedule.
