As an
electronics manufacturer, you are bombarded with many great electronics,
printed circuit board assembly, and service partners. With the different types
of processes, systems, and technologies available in the market, there so many
ways that production can go wrong. This is why it is never enough to have a
great idea to market, but the right technology and a trustworthy partner who can
take care of every stage of your electronic board circuit assembly with great
attention to detail and quality. The wrong choice of PCB assembler can very
easily undo all the hard work you have put into the conception of your product.
Here are important things you should consider when looking for an ECB partner:
- Standards. Finding the right PCB assembly service requires a great deal of patience especially in doing research. The sheer number of service providers in the industry may send you off-track, which is why it is critical to set your criteria when seeking out potential companies. Don't simply choose the cheapest vendor you can find. Instead, look for an experienced firm that is compliant with international standards and has a proven track record when it comes to partnering with and supporting the requirements and aggressive schedules of their clients.
- Facilities. Choose a company with robust manufacturing facilities. When contracting an ECB firm, never take anything on faith and make it a point to ask about the manufacturer's equipment. Don't settle for companies with antiquated machines and technologies. Instead, choose one that has a specialized, standard-compliant facility equipped with all the modern production facilities your project will need. Apart from the latest production equipment, choose a company that maintains an ideal environment for sensitive electronics components, ranging from humidification systems to ESD flooring, and automated stockrooms, which enable extensive quality management.
