Elevating industrial design: A look at Onceb's process

At Onceb, an industrial design and product development company in Valencia, each industrial design project is approached with a solid methodology and passion for innovation. Our approach is user-centered and excellence-oriented, based on five anchors that guarantee successful and high-impact products.
1. Empathy and research
User knowledge:
We observe, interview and analyze the behavior of the end user to immerse ourselves in their world. This knowledge allows us to identify your needs, desires and motivations to place them at the center of the design process.
Definition of needs and added value:
We analyze the functional requirements that the product must meet and how it will be used in real situations. We identify the advantages and added value that it will offer to users, since they are key elements to generate interest and guarantee success in the market.
Market research:
We carry out an in-depth study of the market, from trends and competition to the cultural context, sales channels and purchasing power. This strategic information is transferred to decision-making and constitutes the basis for the success of a product launch.
2. Conceptualization and ideation
Ideation:
We combine creativity with the information collected. We allow ourselves to explore an extreme variety of solutions that satisfy the needs of users, providing them with both perceptual and functional impact, using varied means: sketches, mood boards and other techniques.
Selection of the best concept:
We go back, critically reviewing each concept in light of its viability, innovation and response to user needs, selecting those that have the most potential to become outstanding products.
Validation with mockups:
We create physical and digital models to visualize and test concepts in three dimensions. The prototypes made of various materials allow the aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality of the design to be practically tested.
3. Development
3D design:
We use cutting-edge tools to define the shape of the product, optimizing aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality. Materials, manufacturing processes and cost constraints are taken into account to balance quality, durability and affordability.
Human interface:
We focus on detailed analysis of how the user interacts with the product, taking into account all possible scenarios, including misuse. We ensure that the user experience is intuitive, secure and experiential.
Definition:
From the choice of materials and technical solutions to surface finishes and details, we pay great attention to all aspects of the design in detail. Our goal is to create products that work perfectly and evoke emotions and sensations.
Sustainability:
We take into account the environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle. With ethical-industrial design rules, we use recycled or biodegradable materials, optimize energy efficiency and facilitate maintenance, repair and future recycling.
4. Prototyping
Models:
We develop prototypes representative of the shape, quality, functionality and appearance of the final design. With these models it is possible to test the product in real situations and do a thorough check of the new design.
User testing:
We observed test users interacting with the prototype, evaluating ergonomics, aesthetics, interaction, and any potential manufacturing issues. This feedback is very important to detect the need to make certain adjustments and improvements.
Improvements and optimization:
We incorporate design modifications based on test results to ensure the product will meet user expectations and manufacturing requirements.
5. Production
Technical documentation:
We provide detailed and accurate technical documentation, including drawings, specifications and all the details necessary for large-scale manufacturing.
Supplier selection:
We work with world-class suppliers selected based on their competence, quality and commitment to excellence.
Serial production:
We ensure that the design is perfectly prepared for series production, verifying the feasibility of the process and adjusting the necessary aspects before starting large-scale manufacturing.
By combining creativity, innovation and experience, Onceb provides solutions for industrial design products that are unique and of great value to our clients. We believe in excellence in every part of the process, so we will be able to offer the best results.
