Medical Powered-Stair-Chair Development
Problem Statement
Our client partnered with 91³Ô¹Ï Engineering to help bring their new emergency evacuation chair from concept-to-reality through engineering development, prototyping, validation testing, and pre- and post-production manufacturing.
Ideate and Design
91³Ô¹Ï Engineering collaborated with our client’s electrical and mechanical engineering teams with onsite and offsite support throughout every phase of the new product development life cycle.
91³Ô¹Ï Engineering’s cross-functional engineering team integrated with our client’s team to solve several challenges together. Specifically, 91³Ô¹Ï Engineering worked on the folding and track-deploy kinematics, materials evaluation, powertrain assembly and housing design, casting design, structural FEA and simulation, prototype builds. We also worked with our client to determine the most efficient manufacturing and assembly-line processes. We continue to do value analysis work to reduce costs while maintaining quality.
Reactions and Final Product
Our customer was excited to launch its first powered stair chair with increased safety and comfort for patients and EMT workers. The product has been a great success in the marketplace; it is making our world a better place.
