Maximize your products’ success and profitability
Applying PLM best practices—including cross-functional collaboration and change management processes—improves every stage of a product lifecycle. An environment of continuous improvement yields far-reaching benefits, from time and resource savings to faster time to market.
Product Design and Development
Our expert engineers consider the deployment and renewal phases of a product’s life — whether for standard products under the Octagon brand or custom solutions — early in the design process. So, design-for-manufacturing, sparing, obsolescence, product renewal, and many other factors go into our component selection and design process. To learn more about our hardware systems that are designed, built, and tested for long-term in-field deployments, check out our product families.
Design Services
PLM applies to the design phase of product development as much as it does to any other lifecycle stage. Issues such as obsolescence, downtime, and maintenance must be considered as part of the design process, as it affects everything from product life to reliability. A holistic approach and process-driven PLM workflow guide product requirements, projected usage estimations, and complete lifecycle considerations.
Testing
It is critical to put products through physical testing that accurately simulates the deployment environment. Testing is a core component of the PLM process. Testing provides invaluable insight during the design process by providing information for design to improve execution, data management, traceability, documentation and ultimately product survivability. It also provides reassurance ahead of bringing a product to market that it will be reliable during its operational lifespan, which is vital for mission-critical applications. J-Squared’s ESL Labs, a division of J-Squared Technologies, has a long history of high-quality testing services delivered in state-of-the-art facilities.

Distribution
The PLM principles are integral to J-Squared’s electronics component distribution capability, enabling efficient management of inventory, demand forecasting, supplier collaboration, obsolescence management, quality assurance, and service and support throughout the product lifecycle.
MRO and ISS
Product Lifecycle Management doesn’t end once a product is deployed in the field. A core component of PLM is managing a product through its deployed lifespan and into its eventual renewal/replacement. J-Squared has MRO and ISS capabilities for effective asset lifecycle tracking, maintenance planning and scheduling, spare parts management, documentation and compliance, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, supplier collaboration, asset retirement and disposal, and continuous improvement. Our MRO and ISS experts can optimize asset performance, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements throughout the asset lifecycle.
