Conducting usability testing can heavily influence the shell redesign and lead to positining of USB port.
Merge process similar suppliers which reduces BOM cost while partnering with with OEM
Reduced product volume & mass and moving parts can streamline mechanics and assembly process.
Design sequence of events in a moduler format to enable scaling.
Calibration and quality testing can be leveraged through suppliers and part inspection protocal.
Small batch development can enable faster iteration, this should drive line operations and assembly
