Vario­sys­tems acce­le­rates time to market for elec­tronic solutions

Suc­cessful start for VARIO­in­cu­bator and Rapid Prototyping

Steinach, October 24, 2023 – Fast, effi­cient, and reliable: the VARIO­in­cu­bator from Swiss elec­tro­nics ser­vice partner Vario­sys­tems con­so­li­dates all of the acti­vi­ties that take the cus­tomer from the initial idea to mass pro­duc­tion, and then ensures long-term avai­la­bi­lity via life-cycle manage­ment. By inte­gra­ting the com­pany Kubeg into the group, Vario­sys­tems is now able to pro­duce func­tional pro­to­types in just one week, mas­si­vely shor­tening time to market. The com­pany plans to fur­ther expand the new site in Zizers for rapid pro­to­ty­ping and small batch pro­duc­tion in the coming years and to already grow by roughly 20 per­cent in 2024.

Rapid pro­duc­tion of elec­tronic solu­tions – Vario­sys­tems expands its exper­tise as a global ser­vice partner and enhances its port­folio with rapid pro­to­ty­ping. Through the intro­duc­tion of the VARIO­in­cu­bator, the inter­na­tio­nally active Swiss tech­no­logy com­pany with head­quar­ters in Steinach covers all acti­vi­ties involved in the deve­lo­p­ment, pro­cu­re­ment, and pro­duc­tion of elec­tronic pro­ducts. By inte­gra­ting the rapid pro­to­ty­ping spe­cia­list Kubeg from Zizers into the group, Vario­sys­tems is able to pro­duce func­tional samples for rapid vali­da­tion of deve­lo­p­ment results after just one week.

By joi­ning pro­jects from the deve­lo­p­ment stage, pro­vi­ding sup­port during the pro­to­ty­ping phase, and offe­ring coor­di­nated work­flows, shorter lines of com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and fewer ite­ra­tions, we signi­fi­cantly reduce time to market and the­r­e­fore cut costs. Depen­ding on the pro­ject, we can shorten the dura­tion by several weeks to months,” empha­sizes Julian Spe­cker, Head of VARIO­in­cu­bator. The VARIO­in­cu­bator partner net­work con­sists of more than 100 engi­neers. Vario­sys­tems also offers its own deve­lo­p­ment ser­vices via Solve Engi­nee­ring. While deve­lo­p­ment and indus­tria­liza­tion are underway, the elec­tro­nics ser­vice partner ensures the avai­la­bi­lity of all com­pon­ents early on via life-cycle manage­ment, iden­ti­fies alter­na­tives, and thus gua­ran­tees long-term mass production.

Invest­ments in the Zizers Site
The site for pro­to­ty­ping and small batch pro­duc­tion in Zizers (in the Swiss canton of Gri­sons) plays a cen­tral role in the company’s stra­tegic ori­en­ta­tion as a partner for inno­va­tors. The Zizers site curr­ently has around 50 employees. The team, struc­ture, and cont­acts remained unch­anged after the take­over. “The high level of trust has paid off for ever­yone. We con­tri­bute our exper­tise to the VARIO­in­cu­bator and com­bine our strengths with the global com­pe­tence of Vario­sys­tems. In this way, we sup­port inno­va­tors in redu­cing deve­lo­p­ment times and enable com­pa­nies to make a seam­less tran­si­tion from small batch to mass pro­duc­tion during the sca­ling phase,” says Silvan Wüth­rich, site manager in Zizers.

Through its inte­gra­tion into the group and the launch of the VARIO­in­cu­bator, Vario­sys­tems plans to increase sales in the pro­to­type and small batch seg­ment by roughly 20 per­cent in 2024. “The model has proven to be a win-win for all sides in just a few months and can also become a suc­cess story in our other global cus­tomer orga­niza­tions in the future. We are already noti­cing that pro­cesses are spee­ding up signi­fi­cantly and we are bene­fiting from early invol­vement in pro­jects. This is also reflected in the wealth of posi­tive feed­back we have received from cus­to­mers, poten­tial cus­to­mers, and market experts,” reports Julian Specker.
