2024 Design-Driven Manufacturing Innovation Partner Selection

PINO, a Medical Device Design Specialist, Selected as a Service Provider for the 2024 Design-Driven Manufacturing Innovation Project

PINO, a design firm specializing in medical devices, has been officially selected as a service provider for the 2024 Design-Driven Manufacturing Innovation Project.

The Design-Driven Manufacturing Innovation Project is a government-led initiative aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. It supports innovation across products, processes, and branding with design at its core. Rather than focusing solely on aesthetic improvements, this project evaluates substantive manufacturing innovation outcomes, linking everything from the initial planning stage to manufacturing, mass production, and market entry.

Participating as a specialized service provider for medical device design, PINO will spearhead design-based manufacturing innovation. Our key roles include:

1. Establishing product planning and design strategies for medical devices.
2. Designing structures and forms optimized for User Experience (UX).
3. Improving designs with a focus on manufacturing processes and mass production efficiency.
4. Defining design identities to enhance overall product competitiveness.

PINO‘s practice-oriented design process which comprehensively considers safety, usability, regulatory environments, and production efficiency required specifically by the medical device industry from the initial design phase was evaluated as a key factor in its selection as a service provider for this project.

Through numerous projects in the medical and aesthetic device sectors, PINO has accumulated an integrated design experience connecting design, technology, and manufacturing. By participating in the 2024 Design-Driven Manufacturing Innovation Project, we plan to contribute to elevating both the design competitiveness and manufacturing quality of the overall medical device industry to the next level.

Moving forward, PINO will continue its role as a specialized design partner, treating design as a core element of manufacturing innovation to support the sustainable growth and market competitiveness of medical device companies.
