The previous "PCB Assembly Service" simply refers to SMT and DIP processing services. To complete a PCBA project, the customer needs to purchase PCB boards from the PCB manufacturer, complete BOM purchase from the component supplier, and finally deliver PCB and components to the SMT factory for SMT and DIP processing. This process can be painful for customers, especially small and micro-businesses. With competition in the industry, One-Stop PCB Assembly services have emerged. All the customer has to do is send the Geber file, BOM, and pick & place file to a One-stop electronics service manufacturer who can help you with PCB production, BOM procurement, SMT assembly, and product testing.
Why are more and more customers choosing the One-Stop PCB Assembly service?
1. Improve r&d efficiencyThe whole PCB Assembly project involves PCB production, procurement and management of components and SMT. Completing a PBCA project can be very complex for non-professionals, even for developers. It takes a lot of effort if the enterprise does all these steps itself. And when a business hands it all over to a one-stop PCB Assembly company, it can focus on its speciality areas, such as design, research and development, marketing, and after-sales service. Especially for start-ups, who do not have a perfect procurement management system, one-stop PCB Assembly services can greatly improve the efficiency of their product development.
2.Better product quality
The unity of the production supply chain is the premise of quality assurance. One-stop PCBA service can avoid PCB factory, component supplier and SMT factory passing the buck to each other. And the high-quality PCBA service team is more experienced in the quality control of components, SMT processing technology and panel selection than customers, especially in the procurement of components, usually, customers do not have the ability to detect the authenticity of components.
3．Lower prices
One-stop PCBA service providers have more advantages in the channel of material procurement
One-stop PCBA service in PCB production, components procurement, SMT processing and other processes are seamless, which reduces the overall cost of labor, storage, logistics.
One-stop PCBA service manufacturers can carry out small batch and proofing projects of different companies at the same time, reducing material consumption and engineering costs.
How to Choose the Best Electronic Assembly Service
Capable of manufacturing complex circuit boards.
The ability to produce complex circuit boards is the most direct indication of the strength of a PCB supply chain for a PCB Assembly service provider. A great EMS focus on not only 1-6 layers standard FR4 PCB boards, but also specialize on the high-end advanced PCB, such as HDI boards, 6-40 layers complex boards and flex, rigid-flex, Metal core boards. Capable of providing customers with suitable PCB for different projects from proofing to mass production, ensuring the continuity of customers' r&d and production.
Strong BOM supply chain.
Whether an EMS can deliver cheaper BOM depends on whether it works with multiple component suppliers and whether it stays with reputable suppliers. This also ensures the efficiency of BOM procurement.
Efficient management system
The efficiency of the management system determines the delivery time of the whole project. PCB production cycle and component arrival time can be perfectly coordinated to achieve fast delivery. To do this requires not only high production efficiency but also the ability to deal with emergencies in the production process. In the face of temporary changes of customer projects or the need to replace the part number of components in shortage, the ability to quickly provide solutions for customers is the embodiment of an efficient management system. Especially under the background of the shortage of electronic components in the past two years, it is common for components to be replaced.
Advanced SMT equipment
Good equipment is the basis of high-quality SMT processing. General SMT processing equipment includes solder paste printing machine, placement machine, reflow welding machine, wave soldering machine. Take Surface Mounting Equipment, for example, famous brands include Siemens, Fuji, Panasonic, EUROPALCER, Samsung and so on. The detection equipment includes SPI solder paste detection equipment, AOI, X-ray, ICT. Take Surface Mounting Equipment, for example, famous brands include Siemens, Fuji, Panasonic, EUROPALCER, Samsung and so on. In addition to the production equipment, it is also important to note whether the PCB Assembly service manufacturer has the inspection equipment such as SPI, AOI, X-ray and ICT.You may ask that many EMS companies have these capabilities and conditions, why choose AiPCBA? What is the difference between the PCB assembly of AiPCBA and others?
AiPCBA's PCB Assembly Service has many other advantages besides the above capabilities and conditions.
Online PCB quotation services are nothing new, but AiPCBA's online pricing platform is one of flew that can accurately price the whole PCBA including BOM online. If you use other online quotation platforms, they either require very standard BOM formats or have very few Part numbers that can be matched. AiPCBA's accurate PCBA quotation tool brings great convenience to developers, who can quickly get the cost after each project adjustment.
Risk management based on big data of components
AiPCBA, based on the data of 60 million components from the independently developed big data search engine for electronic components, can quickly analyze the life cycle of components, whether production is suspended, whether there is shortage, and price fluctuations, and provide alternative solutions for components in shortage. As long as you upload BOM to AiPCBA, it can accurately check the risk of components consumption, Footprint error, parameter conflict, type selection error, etc.
AiPCBA set up different SMT production lines according to prototype and mass production. Common SMT production lines will incur high engineering costs when doing PCBA proofing projects. AiPCBA adopts EUROPLACER high-precision SMT production equipment to create flexible SMT line for prototype and small batch production, which can complete PCBA prototype or small batch production of customer products with high quality without paying high engineering costs.
In addition to the above unique advantages, AiPCBA will have sales specialists to provide one-to-one service for you, whether before or after-sales. Our experienced professional sales and service team will answer any production and after-sales questions for you, and take the initiative to update the project process for you in the production process. By choosing AiPCA's PCB Assembly services, you can not only be cheaper than others but also get your products to market faster than your peers.
