We are pioneering: MK’s values
We value a pioneering spirit in our team, and recognise that giving our colleagues the freedom to experiment and suggest new ways of doing things often has positive results.
Using a pioneering value to support our projects
For our latest project we needed to simulate the use of our new BLTU-4C product over many cycles. Each test takes around 2.5 seconds but to do this 100,000 times would have taken nearly 70 hours to complete.
This would have resulted in a very grumpy technician, not to mention some very tired arms!
Introducing the Probocop
To save time on a hugely repetitive task, the NPD team have created an automated tester tester; nicknamed the Probocop. Using custom 3D printed parts, some simple electronics components and their engineering expertise, the team have automated the task and continued to ensure that our products meet the rigorous quality standards expected of ourselves and our customers.
About our values
We have a lot of values! Their focus ebbs and flows, but they underpin everything we do. We are pioneering, ambitious, strategic, and professional; and we embody quality & excellence, safety, teamwork, customer focus, and environment & sustainability.
