2. NIM Medical’s Approach
Our usual approach is to start with a proven base platform and customize only the parts that need to match the device, accessories or workflow.
This approach is designed to provide:
· More controllable development and procurement cost
· More predictable lead times
· Better fit with the target medical device and accessory configuration
3. Value for Medical Device Manufacturers and Distributors
· Faster integration of a complete equipment solution
· Easier expansion of product portfolios
· Improved flexibility when responding to project-specific requirements
For an OEM or distributor, this makes it easier to add a cart to an equipment package without developing every mechanical part from zero.
