Product development
We offer simulation-based technology and product development, including consulting, that takes into account the demands of the circular economy. We focus on creating innovative products and technologies that meet the ever-increasing sustainability requirements.
We help companies develop competitive and sustainable products. We serve at different stages of the product development process, from developing new products, improving existing products, optimizing use, and managing the product lifecycle. Our special area of expertise is in developing ideas and concepts and applying technologies across the board to ensure the best development results.
Our services cover the entire product development process. We help to define product requirements, develop and evaluate ideas, and implement all design phases up to the finished product. Our systematic product development process enables us to manage effectively quality, schedule and costs.
We utilize simulation methods in our design work, allowing us to test the properties of the product being developed at a very early stage. We also help with commercialization, production development, and quality assurance and in addition, we offer ongoing support throughout the product lifecycle.
Our services:
Simulation-based product development
Simulations enable the testing and optimization of products and entire systems even before physical prototypes are manufactured.
Simulations help us identify potential problems early, speed up your development process, reduce costs, and improve the quality of the final product. By simulating entire systems, complex solutions and their interactions can be tested rapidly and safely in a virtual environment.
Digital models allow us to analyze structural durability, aerodynamics, thermal management and other critical properties, as well as system performance – such as the interaction of mechanics, electronics and software.
When physical tests are needed, they can be more precisely targeted and therefore more efficient. The final result is smarter, faster and more cost-effective product development.
Computational fluid dynamics services for machinery and manufacturing
Computational fluid dynamics services for machinery and manufacturing. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) helps to, for example, optimize machinery, improve performance, reduce energy consumption and ensure the operability of equipment, without forgetting the environmental aspects.
Structural analysis in the machinery and equipment manufacturing
Our structural analysis helps you to ensure your product’s competitiveness. Expert structural analysis ensures the safety of the structure without expensive oversizing.
Circular economy and product development
Circular economy-based design involves a holistic approach to developing new products, services and business models that supports both strengthening competitiveness and the transition towards a more sustainable future.
Design plays a key role in shaping business operations in line with the principles of the circular economy, as most decisions that impact the environment are made early in the product design process.
When looking at the lifecycle of a product, the most important decisions – such as what raw materials the product is made from, whether it is reusable, whether the manufacturing process is energy-efficient, and how much energy is needed to transport and use the product or service – are largely determined by the choices made during the design phase.
We help customers exploit the opportunities of the circular economy and develop sustainable solutions. Our multidisciplinary competencies combine business, technical expertise, and customer-oriented design. With our design methods, we support customers in developing innovative and resource-efficient products and services.
We design production machinery and equipment that enable manufacturing new circular economy solutions on an industrial scale. The picture shows an example of a new bio-based foldable packaging material that we were involved in developing. In the project, we designed a production line and pilot equipment for manufacturing this innovative foldable material.
Product lifecycle management
Systematic lifecycle management improves the performance of your products, reduces maintenance costs and supports sustainable development.
Product lifecycle management is an essential part of successful product development. Systematically implemented lifecycle development, management and maintenance ensure that your product remains in top condition and meets your customers’ expectations in the long term.
Lifecycle management planning takes into account all the stages from ideation, design and manufacturing to product deployment, maintenance and ultimately decommissioning in accordance with requirements.
Production development
When you need the competencies and tools to develop your production, we help you find solutions to your challenges.
Production conceptualization and development are key stages in the product development process. Production planning ensures that the product is manufactured in a functional and cost-effective manner.
Production planning includes defining manufacturing processes and techniques, selecting suitable materials, testing prototypes, designing efficient production processes, and optimizing costs. This improves quality and reduces operational risks.
These stages are crucial to the success of the product, as they ensure cost-effective product manufacturing and a smooth commercial launch.

Elomatic designed advanced technical solutions for Škoda Transtech’s trams
Škoda Transtech needed an experienced partner to carry out mechanical design and structural analysis for 80 modern trams. The partner selected for this demanding design task was Elomatic, with whom cooperation has been seamless. The end result was a modular, manufacturing-efficient design and an advanced coupling solution between the bogie and body structure.
Elomatic developed production line for VTT’s bio-based film
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a transparent cellulose film that offers a more climate-friendly solution as a packaging material than plastic. The bio-based film helps solve many of the challenges related to plastic. Developing the solution would not have been possible without Elomatic’s expertise: we implemented the pilot production line necessary for manufacturing the renewable film.
