JOINS’ Journey of Li-ion Power Tools Development
To provide SME partners with a wider array of superior options, JOINS embarked on an independent journey of innovation and developed a range of lithium-ion products. The following sections tell the details of JOINS' product development process.
Market research before developing new products
Market research is essential before launching new Li-ion products. Beginning by identifying the target market, we aim to focus on DIY enthusiasts with high expectations for power tools. We engage in competitor analysis to understand the landscape, directly engage with potential customers to know their pain points, preferences, and expectations. Furthermore, stay abreast of current industry trends.
Factory visits to select high-quality products
Factory visits are instrumental in selecting high-quality factories and products. When it comes to choosing top-notch factories, we meticulously compare over 20 similar facilities, conducting comprehensive performance tests to make informed comparisons. To ensure the selection of superior products, we rigorously test the machinery within these factories, meticulously choosing products that align with our estimated performance criteria.
Testing and validation
After selecting top-notch factories and products, conducting performance tests to estimate product capabilities is essential, enabling comparisons to determine project feasibility. The QC team tests various products from different factories. Brushless lithium drills and lithium wrenches have to meet the basic requirements of 10 cycles without problems. And specific operational criteria are regulated for every product. Strengths and weaknesses are recorded for each product. This process helps define specific requirements for products and prepare for prototype development.
Design Style
The design of products emphasizes functionality and ergonomics, focusing on efficiency, durability, and user comfort. At the same time, the products maintain a concise aesthetic with consistent detailing throughout their design.
Prototype Developing and Testing
Based on the market research, test results and insights gathered, the prototype was developed and tested extensively. It ensures that they meet user needs and address the identified market gaps. And based on the feedback, the features and designs of products are iterated. It’s important to remain adaptable throughout the development process.
Introduce into market
This new series of Li-ion battery products is officially introduced into the market with the opening of the new product launch meeting on Oct. 13th in Canton. These products are introduced to our Argentina partners in detail and are displayed on-site.
As these Li-ion battery power tools make their debut in the market, our commitment to excellence stands unwavering. The efforts and time have resulted in a series of products that not only meet but exceed user expectations. The recognition of these products signal a promising journey ahead. With continuous user feedback and a dedication to adaptability, we stride forward, ensuring that these products will give better choices for our SME partners.
