Manufacturing Assistance
When a product is production-ready, we transfer design files and provide Risk Management input to the Contract Manufacturer.
We participate with the Contract Manufacturer in DFx and provide input to the contract manufacturer's process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (pFMEA).

Our Areas of Expertise
| Contract manufacturer selection process | Map manufacturing requirements to company and product needs, establishment of ranked selection criteria, objective assessment of manufacturer’s abilities, facility tour, recommendations and client executive level presentation. |
| Development collaboration | Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Test (DFT), Design for Reliability (DFR), design of fixtures and methods - including in-process QC, PCBA test (flying probe, ICT, functional), IQ/OQ/PQ, risk management and pFMEA input. |
| Design transfer and New Product Introduction (NPI) | Device Master Record (DMR) – Specifications, instructions and Bill of Materials (BOM), controlled items, engineering change notifications (ECR, ECN, ECO), fixtures, Manufacturing Process Instructions (MPI), pilot builds and scale-up. |
| Product safety certification | Work directly with certification agencies like UL, Intertek, critical components list, specifications, risk management, filling and filing forms, factory inspection. |
| Product support | Support client’s manufacturing for either/both Aproio or client designs, design updates, failure and root cause analysis, engineering changes, and monitor for End-of-life (EOL) components. |
