Device Integration Beyond PCBAs
Simplify your supply chain while improving your manufacturing workflow, reducing costs, and increasing quality by working with Promex to integrate your microelectronics beyond the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) level. We can accommodate a wide variety of skills and metrology equipment to help you take your assembly as far as you need to go—from prototype, through New Product Introduction (NPI), to production quantities, including:
- Complex mechanical assembly
- Integration of consigned assembly and test fixtures and equipment
- Part, lot, and sub-supplier serialization and tracking, per your requirements
- Assembly to a level ready for your proprietary value-add processes
- Cleanroom mechanical assembly (Class 100 and Class 1000 spaces available)
- Turnkey bill-of-materials management, including material planning
Promex specializes in quickly developing viable Manufacturing Process Instructions (MPIs) for complex processes that incorporate multiple assembly technologies and executing these processes to make your design real.
We can help you:
- Augment your design team with NPI resources
- Create new, from-scratch MPIs with proven processes
- Promex engages in collaborative, hands-on engineering support to appropriately understand your design intent by identifying Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) and Critical-to-Function (CTF) assembly stepsPromex captures your design intent in actionable MPIs with corresponding CTQ/CTF in-process controls. MPIs are then available for customer review and acceptance
- Control all documents in our internal Arena system
- Retranslate existing your MPIs to fit our workflow and documentation practices
- Characterize your process variation using automated in-process metrology
- MicroVu Vertex 320 optical measurement system
- Keyence VR5200 non-contact 3D profiler
- Keyence WI-010 laser measurement system
- Nikon iNEXIV optical measurement system (available within Class 100 and Class 1000 Cleanrooms)
- Develop and refine appropriate specifications throughout your assembly process
- Track “as built” characteristics and provide a linkage to higher-level device performance
- Use this information to match process wants with process needs
- Improve CTQ/CTF processes to increase design margin for better cost and manufacturing efficiency
- Identify processes suitable for continuous improvement
- Track and improve yieldBuild a database of CTQ/CTF measurements and test outputs throughout your entire build process
- Turn your data into actionable yield dashboards
- Maximize transparency with secure, web-viewable dashboard access
- Engineering support to identify failure modes driving yield loss
- Understand failure root cause
- Develop and employ effective countermeasures to improve your manufacturing process
- Monitor yield to sustain success
