Turnkey Product Build / Manufacturing

Too often money and time are lost in the development and manufacture of electronic products and printed circuit boards because of disjointed relationships between phases of the process. By using Advantage you are joining up with a team-mate that understands the flow of electronic product development projects and will ensure smooth progression and manufacturing success. Ultimately this means better control of your budget and schedule.

• Simplify your design / build cycle
• Reduce product cycle times through seamless interface of production segments
• Reduce cost
• Increase reliability
• Capitalize on our experience

Component Kitting

• RoHS conversions
• COTS - commercial off-the-shelf components
• Mil spec components
• Prototype or production quantities

Printed Circuit Board Fabrication

• Rapid prototyping: 24 hour, three-day and ten-day turn
• Multi-layer, SMT, through hole

Box Build & Test

Complete system assembly consists of sub-assemblies such as printed circuit boards, flex circuits, cables, hardware, power supply and external interfaces assembled into an enclosure.

Advantage can implement customer provided test specifications or develop them for you based on the product requirements

• Test stations and fixtures for specific testing requirements.
• Manufacturing support test development for support during manufacturing such as functional testing and ICT (In-Circuit-Test).
• Test Fixtures, with programming code, for use on Hewlett Packard or IET (GenRad) equipment.
• Environmental tests - drop/shock, altitude, extreme temperature, water-salt.

Also available; Forensics study — we will perform forensics on your existing product problems with assistance in circuit, component, manufacturing or tests recommendations to improve yields and quality.
