We can refer customers that need product design and complex functional test design to independent Engineering Groups – we do not provide these services at Ascentron.

Over the years we’ve noticed customers that use an Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) company for product and test design often suffer from the lack of specialized expertise by in-house designers, leading to a final unit price that is not competitive.  In many cases, the best long term value for customers is to separate product design from manufacturing services.  We can introduce customers to independent engineering design and test business that can provide the focus and expertise needed for project success.

We so provide design for manufacturability reviews to our customers during the design phase at no cost.  Anything we can do to help promote an easier, simpler, faster, more reliable and repeatable assembly process helps both our customers and us to be more successful.
