What we do
APDI has a technical depth rarely matched in today’s world of quick diagnosis, module exchange, and test. Our technical team ensures that whilst many of our products are designed and manufactured for Change-&-Go, others have been developed to increase the performance and longevity of the original equipment.
During the intensive development processes, products are rigorously tested and FMEAs for both products and processes ensure that risks are assessed and nothing is left to chance. Specially trained staff follow validation and verification procedures so as to give customers confidence that the product will meet its intended performance and reliability criteria.
Our laboratory staff is available to the customer if required to help them during their own processes of development and manufacture. Additionally, if required at the design stage, we are able to advise to ensure that components, sub assemblies or modules will be engineered for re-use, remanufacture or simply ease of disposal.
Our Mission and Principles
of Remanufacturing
Our Mission is to be regarded as experts in the re-manufacture of electro-mechanical modules/ assemblies. Click a segment for more details.
Learn the module application and customer expectations. Understand the module design and component functionality.
Learn the failure modes- Critical to know the reman process will capture all failure causes. Develop re-use criteria for all components.
Ensure capability of new materials. OE materials/components preferred. Rigorous field trials. In-house testing to ensure functionality and life.
Understand assembly requirements and settings- dedicated tooling and fixtures to provide capability. Fully trained workforce participating in the development of the process and FMEA’s. Robust final inspection. 100% machine test often used. Continual improvement as process matures. Build team involvement.
Work closely with customers’ & supply chain from design through manufacture to field support specialists.
The Circular Economy
APD have been at the forefront of the re-use/recycling industry, saving over 100,000 tonnes of landfill in the past 10 years.
