The future of product development rests on a robust product architecture.

But what kind of product architecture should one go for?

Traditional product architecture has its cons. It caters to only a specific customer or a market segment and has components that are hugely interdependent.

So if a different market need arises, for eg. a different price requirement or technology upgradation or new customer requirements, it becomes a complex process.

This is where modular product architecture comes in. It redefines the concept of product design.

Modular design has self-contained and independent modules. Each of these independent modules in a product can be easily upgraded, fixed or replaced without dismantling the whole product.

Also a defect can be treated in isolation. The damage in one part of the system won’t affect the entire product.

Since several modules are produced side by side at once, it reduces cost and development time.

These are also interchangeable i.e the modules can be taken from different product lines, mixed and matched together leading to wonderful innovative configurations.

Modular systems are built in a hierarchical fashion. A lot of the time smaller modules are incorporated within larger modules. This system thus reduces complexity.

Want to satisfy your customers?

Different customers have their own unique demands when it comes to a product.

Modular architecture helps in coming up with several variants of a product that suit these diverse needs of the population.

At Swanhans, we help organizations design modular, scalable, and future-ready products.

We believe that modular design isn’t just an engineering concept, it’s the foundation for sustainable innovation and long-term competitiveness.
