Tecan: Lessons learned from scaling the world’s most complex builds
As medical and life sciences systems increasingly integrate optics, fluidics, electronics, robotics, and software, moving from prototype to reliable production has become one of the hardest challenges engineering teams face. Design transfer, subsystem integration, and scaling manufacturing often expose hidden complexity that can threaten yield, reliability, and launch timelines.
In this session, we share practical lessons from real programs that successfully transitioned complex platforms into production. Attendees will learn how to identify hidden risks early, avoid common design transfer pitfalls, and build manufacturability into systems from the start. The session will also highlight the operational discipline required to protect quality, traceability, and yield as volumes grow.
