Case Studies
To demonstrate the quality and reliability of our SMT assembly services, here are a few case studies of successful projects we have completed for our clients:
Case Study 1: Automotive Electronics
Client: A leading automotive electronics manufacturer
Project: SMT assembly of a complex PCB for a vehicle infotainment system
Challenge: The PCB had a high component density and required precise placement and soldering of fine-pitch components
Solution: We used our advanced pick-and-place machines and reflow ovens to achieve the required placement accuracy and soldering quality. We also implemented a comprehensive inspection and testing process to ensure that the PCBs met the client’s stringent quality and reliability requirements.
Result: We delivered 10,000 units of the PCB on time and within budget, with a defect rate of less than 100 ppm. The client was very satisfied with the quality and performance of the PCBs and has since placed several repeat orders with us.
Case Study 2: Medical Devices
Client: A startup company developing a wearable medical device
Project: SMT assembly of a small and lightweight PCB for the device
Challenge: The PCB had to be very small and thin to fit inside the device, and had to be assembled using specialized materials and processes
Solution: We worked closely with the client’s engineering team to optimize the PCB design and layout for manufacturability. We also used our expertise in assembling miniaturized PCBs to select the appropriate components and materials, and to develop a customized assembly process that met the client’s requirements.
Result: We successfully assembled 1,000 units of the PCB in a short timeframe, enabling the client to launch their product on schedule. The PCBs performed reliably in the field and helped the client establish a strong reputation in the market.
