It is a long way from an idea to a new product, which has been planned and controlled.
As an international active and well knowed manufacturer and supplier of measuring systems for the non-contact determination of various process parameters (e.g. density, moisture) mainly in bulk materials (e.g. coal, potassium salt) using different physical measuring principles, all devices and systems have been and have been our own since the company RGI GmbH was founded Specialists and employees developed.
We work closely with our customers in the design phase and later in the test phase before introducing them to series production, in order to recognize and implement the requirements of the market on the one hand, and to successfully launch the products on the other.
Studies show that a large part of the sales growth of companies is generated from new products.
Thus, it is usually very profitable for companies to develop and manufacture new products, even if a lot of money is initially invested in the development of new products, because you get a lot back afterwards.
This was recognized early at RGI.
With new products, RGI is pursuing the goal of generating new sales and profits in the future in order to secure long-term growth.
As a manufacturing company, we strive to have a good balance between old and new products.
Technology is developing at a rapid pace today. This also forces us to adapt our products to technical progress.
With new products, we also pursue the goal of opening up new industries and markets,
Product development and product design are elementary components of a successful product strategy.
In addition to technical and business issues, numerous legal regulations must be observed.
The following topics are relevant in the individual phases of product development:
● Market analysis (customers, competitors)
● State of the art
● Innovation management
● CE marking and standards
● Product safety and labeling
● Funding for research and development
● Industrial property rights
● Technology transfer
● Technical documents
● logistics
● packaging
● Disposal of electrical devices / WEEE
● Battery law
● REACH regulation
● Sales concept
● Market launch
● Export / internationalization
● from customer discussions, feedback and market observation
● Assessment of benefits, feasibility and market opportunities
● Assessment and definition of the requirements
● Creation of the specification
● Determination of profitability
● Determination of the technology

● Development of the individual components and modules
● Specification and refinement of the details
● First implementation in a laboratory sample
● Basis for the first functional model
● Development tools, resources
● Construction prototype
● Supplier explorations
● Development of precise production processes
● Planning quality management
● Development of test and inspection equipment
Development at RGI:
Due to the often harsh application conditions for our measuring technology, there are special requirements for the mechanical design.
Important part of all modern measurement technology because it´s the basis for the acquisition and evaluation of the process parameters.
User software and processor firmware enable communication with and internal processing of the process-controlled hardware
In the sample phase, the results of the tests under real conditions are important for the further development and adaptation of the product
The development does not end with the introduction to the serial production of new devices and systems.
A wide variety of customer requirements and wishes, but also market and competition analyzes, always lead to modifications to the design, electronics or software and firmware.
In the case of repeated requests and implementation, such adaptations are included in the standard versions of the technology, as long as this does not require a complete revision of the existing product or even a new development.
Our staff would be happy to help you and take care of your inquiries and orders.
You can get help and advice on the selection of the measuring system that best suits your application
from our experts in process measurement technology.
