We start by understanding the problem and researching available technology to create a solution. Next, we brainstorm and create several options to approach the problem. Finally, we choose the best design concept and roughly sketch it out. This initial high-level evaluation of a problem sets the direction for a solution and is thus one of the most critical steps in our design process.
With the concept as a base, we begin to flesh out the details of a project. This stage is iterative: we create, evaluate, and repeat until we arrive at a complete detailed design. All components/machinery/etc. are 3-D modeled in CAD software, all parts are specified, and a bill of materials is generated in this phase. We interact with the client to evaluate the design progress and assure that our solution is accurately and effectively meeting the need throughout this step as well.
Bryson works with its own and the client's fabrication resources as is appropriate to make all necessary parts and complete all pre-installation assembly. Because no process is perfect, this and the remaining stages often send Bryson back to the Iterative Design stage to make corrections and adjustments in design.
Bryson completes as much fabrication and assembly as is possible before proceeding to this stage. When that point is reached, we begin installation in the client's facility.
Often, the new project by Bryson must interact with old equipment or processes in our client's facility. In this stage, the new meets the old. This stage also involves necessary training for new equipment and any other necessary components that allow our client to smoothly adopt the completed project.
