How Product Development Engineering Consultants Benefit the Waste and Refuse Equipment Industry

Your waste and refuse business relies on heavy equipment and machinery for day-to-day processes that benefit us all. Like all equipment-dependent industries, the parts you build or depend on every day will eventually require engineering support. 

Four problems often stand in the way of getting engineering help for your products:

• Problem #1: You want to build a product for your business, but you don’t have a dedicated engineering team to help you with the design.
• Problem #2: You have an engineering team, but they’re working on other projects and priorities, and you can’t afford to take them off those jobs. 
• Problem #3: You don’t have an engineering team with the experience or knowledge to assist you with equipment failure.
• Problem #4: Your engineering team doesn’t have the technology or software to complete projects like reverse engineering or finite element analysis (FEA).

Although these problems are common, all of them are solvable. When your waste and refuse business recognizes the value of an engineering consultant, goals suddenly become achievable, and hurdles are easier to overcome. A product development engineering team can step in to find a fast, efficient resolution so you can carry on.



Product Development Engineering Consultants Are Flexible and Efficient

An experienced product development engineering consultant is uniquely positioned to step in at a moment’s notice. Your problems may seem overwhelming for your business, but they’re the bread and butter of a superior engineering team.

Successful OEMs and businesses in the waste and refuse industry often have a consulting engineer on call. This partner can take over your projects, such as new product development services or component analysis. 

Product Development Engineering Consultants Can Help You At Scale

You can come to an engineering consulting team with any type of project. A strong product development engineering consultant is typically versatile enough to help you with holistic projects and individual services. They specialize in projects that are large and small in scope.

• Comprehensive help: Engineering consultants can help you with the new product development lifecycle by leading you through concept, design, drawing, modeling, analysis, documentation, layout plans, and equipment placing.
• Specialized, niche services: The same team can offer individual services, such as failure analysis, rotational motion studies, facilities scanning and documentation, vibration testing, and equipment optimization.

Superior engineering consultants have the software, technology, and capability to handle the complete new product development process or niche services you aren’t able to find elsewhere. 

Product Development Engineering Consultants Are Deeply Experienced

Whether your OEM or business specifically deals with landfills, recycling, processing, material handling, storage, or any other aspect of the larger waste and refuse industry, the best product development engineering teams likely have experience in your industry. 

These teams often specialize in heavy equipment and machinery across a wide range of industries, so they’re typically familiar with products as diverse as conveyors, compactors, excavators, and storage tanks. A team with decades of experience quickly recognizes your products and can find a solution quickly. 

Product Development Engineers Also Provide Relief

When you have the ability to put your problems in the hands of a trusted engineering team, you have a priceless resource. Your business gets to focus on other pressing issues, while your on-call engineering team takes over the bottlenecks that no one else has been able to handle. 

With the help of an engineering consultant, your equipment will soon be up and running, your failing components will be operating safely, your in-house engineers can keep additional projects off their plate, and you’ll be able to take your business to the next level.
