This proactive approach minimizes unexpected issues and delays, keeping your launch on track and within budget. With our expertise, you can ensure that your product transitions seamlessly from concept to final product, paving the way for successful market entry and long-term success.
Our Electronics Design For Manufacturing Process:
- Design Optimization – selecting standardized components, simplifying the design to reduce complexity, and creating modular designs to streamline assembly and testing, as well as creating sub-assemblies or modules for easier manufacturing, testing, and maintenance.
- PCB Design Optimization – optimizing layout for component placement, following design rules for traces and clearances, designing for efficient panelization, and ensuring proper pad sizes for reliable soldering.
- Design Rule Checks (DRC) And Electrical Rule Checks (ERC) – checking for potential issues affecting its functionality and manufacturing, ensuring it adheres to safety and function rules and meets standards like IPC-2221 for PCBs.
- Prototype Build And Design Validation – validating quality through First Article Inspection (FAI) and ensuring circuit functionality.
- Design For Test (DFT) – focusing on making testing easier by ensuring key signals are accessible, adding self-test features, and using boundary scan for complex boards.
- Final DFM Review And Optimization – reviewing BOM availability, panelization, soldering profiles, component derating, and conduct final cost analysis and yield estimation.
