EQUIPMENT R&D FOR TOMORROW New ideas are generated and products developed in close partnership with our customers. Customers are an inseparable part of all stages of development projects to create safe, easy to operate and productive equipment. Normet's R&D network consists of partners in: Fundamental research Automation development Industrial design and engineering Development projects start with idea creation and filtering, collecting good ideas and establishing a new product development (NPD) project. The NPD project then follows a systematic Stage-Gate process: Standardised and modular platforms with the state of the art control system answer every need, from basic transporters to fully automated self-propelled rock support machines. The platform themselves are continuously being developed. Throughout our standardised development and engineering processes, we use state-of-the-art software for: Full 3D mechanical design Electrical and hydraulics design Stability and strength calculations All product structure and lifetime data are collected globally and managed with a PDM / PLM (Product Data Management / Product Lifetime Management) system. Modern simulation tools are used in developing new technologies, ergonomics, energy efficiency, equipment communication and monitoring. Our main equipment manufacturing facility and R&D centre is located in Iisalmi, Finland.
