Manufacturing & Test

In-house DVT builds to volume production

In-House PCBA Manufacturing

  • Stencil printer, automated pick & place, reflow oven — capable of ~50 boards/week
  • DVT and PVT builds done in-house to maximise iteration speed in early development stages
  • Full inspection suite — AOI, microscope, hot-air rework and precision soldering stations
  • In-house programming — JTAG, SWD, USB and UART-based production flash tools

PCBA Scale-Up Partners

  • Pennsylvania — preferred partner for sensitive and regulated product lines requiring US-based assembly
  • Allen Integrated Assemblies (PA) — trusted partner for quality-sensitive and higher-complexity assemblies
  • Guadalajara, Mexico (GDL) — ARG satellite office manages larger volume PCBA production runs
  • Seamless hand-off from in-house PVT to volume production without re-qualification

In-House Mechanical Fabrication

  • Carbide CNC mill — aluminium, plastics and composite machining
  • FDM and SLA 3D printing — rapid prototype iterations in hours not days
  • Laser cutting — sheet metal, acrylic and composite panels
  • Drill press, sheet metal brake, forming and finishing tools
  • Low-volume injection moulding with aluminium tooling for short-run plastic parts

Mechanical Scale-Up Partners

  • Pennsylvania — sheet metal shops and precision machining for mid-volume runs
  • Guadalajara, Mexico (GDL) — cost-effective high-volume mechanical fabrication managed from our GDL satellite office
  • Consistent quality across in-house and partner sites through shared drawings and inspection criteria
  • Supply chain managed end-to-end — BOM, sourcing, lead time and cost optimisation

End-of-Line Testing & Calibration

  • Custom-designed EOL test fixtures — functional, parametric and boundary-scan testing
  • Bed-of-nails gang programmers for high-throughput production flashing
  • Sensor calibration routines with traceable reference standards
  • Automated pass/fail logging with serial number traceability
  • Test coverage defined at DVT stage — no surprises at PVT or volume ramp

Fulfilment & Logistics

  • Finished goods receiving, inspection, labelling and kitting
  • Drop-ship direct to your end customer — branded packaging available
  • Inventory management and reorder point tracking
  • GDL satellite office handles export documentation and cross-border logistics for Mexico-manufactured product
  • GDL office address — coming soon

Production Ramp Strategy

  • DVT — in-house build, rapid iteration, engineer-on-the-floor oversight
  • PVT — in-house or PA partner depending on volume and complexity
  • Volume production — GDL for cost efficiency at scale, PA for US-mandated or sensitive lines
  • Single point of accountability throughout — no hand-off gaps between design and manufacturing

Quality & Compliance

  • IPC-A-610 workmanship standards applied across all assembly sites
  • First Article Inspection (FAI) at each new production site and revision change
  • Component traceability — lot codes, date codes and approved vendor list (AVL) management
  • NCR and corrective action process for any production non-conformances
