System Integration - Box Build
Box build assembly is the final stage of electronics manufacturing where all components, including PCBs, wiring, and mechanical parts, are integrated into a finished, ready-to-use product housed in an enclosure.
Step by Step Box Build Assembly Process
Talking of box build assembly services, let’s see what actually goes behind the scenes, so you can understand how important having these teams can be for your company:
Component Procurement
As the name suggests, this is the process where sourcing teams are on their toes. They have to source all the parts from PCBs to screws, and make sure that they meet the required specs. This step may or may not include managing multiple suppliers and ensuring that there is compliance with standards like ISO 9001 or IPC.Assembly
Now, once the team has procured all the components, it’s time for mechanical assembly, integration, and installation. So here, installing the PCB into the enclosure, adding standoffs, and fitting any mechanical parts like fans or switches is done. Besides, for the electric one, the wires are connected, the power cables are secured, and basically, it is ensured that everything is routed cleanly and safely. Now, once everything is in its place, and the product online runs on a firmware, then it goes through initial boot tests.
Testing and Quality Checks
Finally, it’s time for the QC time to come into action! This is where the products are powered on and put through functional tests, which can be hard to clear. Especially in industries like medical or aerospace, testing becomes extremely rigorous!
Packaging and Final Prep
Once everything is approved, the best quality products are cleaned, labeled, and packed with manuals and accessories, which makes them ready for shipment.- Altest focuses on providing a solution to every manufacturing challenge.
