MARL’s technical design support services extend from concept development to end certification. This allows us to guide even the most complex LED indication and illumination projects with confidence. Our experience working with rail and defence clients affords us specialist insight, meaning we’re well-acquainted with MILSPEC, DefStan and STANAG standards.
Design services
Feasibility studies
How likely is your project to succeed? How much will it cost and how much time will it take? We use conceptual design to explore manufacturing methods, evaluating their cost-effectiveness, execution time and economic potential. Through an innovative design process, we can advise on the most appropriate approach for your project. This short-term investment helps our clients to save time and money in the long term.
Technical documentation
Support with testing and reporting on lighting product safety, lifespan and warranty. We test products according to relevant industry standards, securing third-party input and validation where required. Following our testing process, we draft detailed technical reports that can be used to demonstrate your product’s quality, safety and technical specifications, giving the relevant stakeholders confidence in your approach.
Research & development
Research breeds innovation. Our in-house research and development programme identifies opportunities within ruggedised products, mechatronics, optical engineering and software control. Using the latest LED industry insight, the programme aims to help clients enhance existing products and find new routes to market. Our well-established methods have helped several clients to improve offerings in line with their strategic objectives.
Surface mount technology (SMT)
MARL’s suite of specialist machinery allows us to quickly manufacture SMT products while maintaining quality. Our clients can select from a range of design and manufacturing services including build to print, complete PCB design, prototyping, design verification and volume manufacture. Our well-equipped facility makes fast turnaround possible. Discuss your intended timeline with our team and we’ll do all that we can to meet it.
Additional support
Have a technical design requirement that you don’t see listed here? We can probably help. Simply speak to our team about your objective and we’ll let you know whether we’re the right people to support you. If we’re not, we’re often happy to guide you in the right direction.
