Summary

Our solution provides automatic in-house production of electronic prototypes to speed up testing and to introduce agile hardware development. With our multifunctional machine, we combine the necessary manufacturing steps into an all-in-one production cell, optimized for low setup time and high automation.

Overview

Building a testable prototpye in electronic development requires several production steps and is very time-consuming and cost intensive. Thus, these processes are often outsourced to external service providers, which causes delays in the development and therefore increases time-to-market. Existing automated electronic assembly lines are optimized for high quantities and require a major effort for setup and monitoring. Therefore, they are not suitable for the little quantities needed during prototyping.

Our solution.

With our machine we have shrinked those assembly lines into one single machine, a electronic assembly and prototyping cell. We optimize it for very short setup time, high automation and little monitoring requirements rather than for high troughput. For this reason, automated in-house prototyping and assembly of PCBs is possible without further overhead for development teams. What the 3D-printer is for mechanical engineering, our machine is supposed to be for electrical hardware development. Operators simply need to load the manufacturing data, insert the components & PCB and the machine will automatically manufacture the prototype.

Your benefits.

Agile project management has proven its strengthes in software development. With our solution we bring agile methods into electronics development teams as well, by enabling fast and frequent testing with our automated in-house prototype production cell. This leads to faster development cycles, faster failing, more frequent testing and shorter time-to-market by improving product market fit.
