Comprehensive Inspection & Quality Control

Even if we didn’t assemble your initial run, we can accept your bare or populated PCBs and execute the rigorous first tests required to validate your build. Our engineering team collaborates closely with yours during the critical scale-up process, identifying potential electronic vulnerabilities before high-volume production begins.

By utilizing advanced 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), we conduct a meticulous first-pass test during manufacturing to verify SMT placement and perform crucial polarity checks. This proactive approach catches surface-level anomalies instantly, preventing costly downstream delays and safeguarding your brand’s reputation for reliability in the field.

Specialised Test Development & Validation

Our purchasing strategy is designed to keep your manufacturing resilient, agile, and cost-effective, no matter the market conditions.

Custom Test Rigs

We design and build bespoke test rigs capable of testing up to 12 boards simultaneously to drastically increase throughput and assembly flow.

Test Development

From functional validation to boundary scans, we engineer custom testing protocols tailored to your unique electronic architecture and commercial requirements.

First Article Inspection

Comprehensive manual tests and detailed FAI checklists ensure the first board off the line matches your exact specifications before scaling.

Collaborative Scale-Up

We work directly with your design teams to refine testing parameters, transitioning smoothly from prototype validation to mass manufacturing.

Our Assembly & Testing Process

A streamlined, rigorous approach to guaranteeing board functionality and eliminating commercial field failures.

Initial Assessment & FAI
We conduct a thorough First Article Inspection using strict manual checklists to verify baseline design compliance and component accuracy.
3D AOI & SMT Verification
Boards run through 3D Automated Optical Inspection for rapid first-pass SMT validation, checking for bridging, tombstoning, and component polarity errors.
Custom Rig Development
Our engineers design multi-board test rigs capable of testing up to 12 units simultaneously. Optimising high-volume flow without sacrificing precision.
Rigorous Functional Testing
Every unit undergoes comprehensive functional testing protocols developed by our engineers to guarantee it operates perfectly in real-world conditions before shipping.

Testing FAQs

Common queries about our testing services.

How do you protect our Intellectual Property (IP) during the design phase?
We operate under strict NDAs and manage all data securely within our local UK facility. Your commercial IP is closely guarded at every stage, and you retain full ownership of all final design files, gerbers, and schematics.
Can you help if we already have a preliminary hardware design?
Absolutely. We frequently step in to perform Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Test (DfT) audits on existing files, optimising your preliminary work to ensure it is actually viable for cost-effective, scalable commercial production.
What standards do your PCB design services adhere to?
Our engineering team works to strict commercial IPC standards (such as IPC-A-610), ensuring that every design meets rigorous quality, reliability, and safety requirements before ever moving to the manufacturing floor.
Do you handle the procurement of components for the prototype build?
Yes. We leverage our established global supply chain networks to source high-quality, traceable components. By integrating procurement analysis into the initial planning phase, we actively mitigate risks related to component obsolescence and long lead times.
How quickly can you move from design to a manufactured board?
Because our design team and assembly technicians operate under the same roof, we bypass the usual cross-vendor communication bottlenecks. This agile setup allows us to transition from final approved design to physical prototyping significantly faster than fragmented outsourced operations.
