The problem

Catalia Health developed a robotic system that was initially hand-assembled in small quantities at their workshop to support early customer pilots and testing. As the company grew, it needed to develop a reliable and robust manufacturing process and supply chain to support larger customer orders while maintaining quality and optimizing costs.

The Q Design solution

We worked closely with Catalia Health to source a high-quality contract manufacturer in China that could meet their requirements of cost, quality and capacity. Q Design then led the program to fabricate new tooling, setup the production line and implement quality control processes to create a reliable and robust production line. With our local team in China, we provided on-site and on-going manufacturing and quality support and removed the worries of overseas manufacturing so that Catalia Health could focus on its core business.

The icing on the cake

Q Design eventually referred Catalia Health to Q Capital, which made an early-stage investment into the company. We also continued to collaborate on the engineering and manufacturing of the next generation robot in a follow-up project.
