Designing electronic devices is not just about manufacturing a functional product, it also involves producing a reliable, manufacturable, and cost-effective design. This design evaluation technique is called manufacturability design or DFM. This is the first step in the electronic manufacturing process. If DFM is not executed properly, serious rejection due to design defects is likely to occur.

DFM inspection involves reviewing the design and appropriate materials according to applicable design rules, and conducting robustness assessments in consultation with the manufacturing team. DFM involves key areas such as PCB pad design, routing width, and component positioning. DFM also aims to achieve economically efficient design, which can be achieved by using standard components and simplifying the design as much as possible. Other considerations include appropriate thermal management, mechanical or dimensional constraints, and testing regulations. This is an active approach, rather than correcting problems in the later stages of production, as there have been a large number of rejections due to design defects in the later stages. Evaluating design errors and correcting them will help shorten the product delivery cycle.

Haibo relies on DFM as an objective analysis and optimization design method. Profitability, quality, and manufacturability are the main motivations for companies in the electronic manufacturing and design process. With years of experience, Haibo has developed guidelines and best practices to achieve economically efficient and robust electronic manufacturing through DFM tools.

The Bill of Materials (BOM) is the primary reference for procurement teams in searching for potential suppliers. BOM indicates carefully selected materials based on electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties compatible with the assembly process. Evaluating suppliers and weighing each performance indicator is based on each company's business strategy. When determining the priority of supplier characteristics, it is expected that there will be trade-offs. The weighted standard analysis method is the most practical approach in supplier evaluation.

Cost remains the main factor in finding electronic components and electronic manufacturing suppliers. The supplier who can provide the lowest quotation will gain the greatest advantage. The quotation must be carefully reviewed, taking into account all key terms and conditions such as delivery time, price, and minimum order quantity (MOQ).

The strategic solution to reduce supply chain risks is to seek alternative suppliers or components. This is to ensure the continuity of raw material supply in the event of unexpected shortages and problems. However, please note that obtaining qualifications for additional components or suppliers will incur some costs related to qualification certification and maintaining multiple suppliers to avoid issues in electronic product manufacturing due to supplier restrictions.

PCB assembly is a crucial step in the electronic manufacturing process. During the PCB assembly process, all electronic components will be soldered onto the PCB board. Usually, there are two types of component soldering methods: reflow soldering for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) components and wave soldering for PTH (Through Hole Plating) components. In addition, manual welding is also required in some cases.

In the PCB design stage, PCB designers first need to determine the layout of SMD (mount) and DIP (insert) on both sides of the PCB. Different assembly methods correspond to other processes and have additional requirements for the production line, which must be carefully considered.

After the PCB design file is completed, the PCB assembly plant will thoroughly inspect the BOM (Bill of Materials) and pick and place files, and then design appropriate production instructions, including electronic board manufacturing processes, methods, parameters, and basic issues to consider for any specified type of PCB.

In functional testing, simulate the operating environment of the product while applying power to understand its output and behavior. It involves specially designed specialized testing fixtures used to determine the characteristic performance of the product. Compare the response of the product with the design specifications to determine if it is functioning properly. Functional testing is an important step in ensuring the quality of electronic products during the electronic manufacturing process. The test yield percentage is calculated based on the number of passed parts and the total number of tested parts. Functional testing is an important step in ensuring the quality of electronic products during the electronic manufacturing process.

Haibo's testing expert team will assist you in meeting your functional testing requirements. Haibo collaborates with clients to review testing specifications and determine and validate testing procedures. We understand the importance of functional testing as a prerequisite for delivering parts that meet standards.

Whole machine assembly is an electronic manufacturing service in which different sub components are integrated into an electronic casing, ultimately forming a functional unit. The sub components to be assembled include printed circuit boards, wiring harnesses, and other electromechanical components. The casing or shell should have structural and mechanical properties to protect the internal system from external pressures such as temperature, humidity, and vibration.

This type of assembly can be customized, ranging from simple to more complex sub assemblies. Firstly, select and purchase the complete set of materials and parts required for assembling the product. Parts can be ready-made or customized according to your design requirements. The whole machine assembly service provider can also be the same supplier that manufactures and assembles printed circuit boards (PCBA). The next step is to assemble the components inside the casing, which can be done manually or through automation. Test the final product to verify its compliance with performance requirements. Other sub processes include welding, wiring, and wiring harnesses.

Haibo is a trustworthy supplier of complete machine assembly, with skilled facilities and excellent team support. At Haibo, we highly value the quality of the electronic product manufacturing process until the product is fully delivered to the customer. From simple assembly design to complex whole machine assembly, flexibility is our strength.

Aging testing is another quality screening process that accelerates potential defects in products by applying voltage and temperature. According to customer requirements, control voltage values, temperature, and aging time to detect faulty products. The aging furnace includes slots or mesh drives for loading aging boards.

The aging board is composed of sockets, and the units are installed or inserted into the sockets. Circuit boards and sockets have specific tool lifetimes, typically measured by the number of insertions or loads, and must be monitored and maintained to ensure proper testing of the unit. The circuit board and socket materials should also be able to withstand high temperatures and repeated bias cycles. Units that fail the aging test will be screened out, and further fault analysis will be conducted on severely rejected units.

The oven should also be regularly calibrated and undergo preventive maintenance to maintain consistent and accurate temperature and testing capabilities. During preventive maintenance, the active and passive components of the aging board will be inspected and replaced as necessary. The productivity of the aging testing process depends on the oven capacity, aging time, and board capacity.

When designing customized packaging, it is necessary to carefully inspect the physical properties, functions, and sensitivity of electronic products. The main purpose of customized packaging includes preventing mechanical stress, shielding against environmental factors such as heat, pressure, and moisture during transportation and handling, as well as ESD protection caused by material charging and discharging. Improper packaging may ruin successful electronic product manufacturing. The packaging should also include other product information, such as batch or lot number and quantity, and display the company logo.

For humidity sensitive electronic products, moisture-proof bags, desiccants, and humidity cards can be used for dry packaging. Different packaging configurations can be discussed with customers and should be consistent with current industry trends and requirements. In customized packaging, environmental and government regulations should be considered to avoid non-compliance.

Haibo provides customized packaging that has undergone engineering evaluation and rigorous assessment. The packaging has undergone a series of verifications and tests to ensure that it can protect the parts during transportation.

Delivery is the final step in the electronic product manufacturing process. It is the process of transporting products from electronic factories to customer stores or warehouses. It must be done in such a way as to protect the product from external forces and prevent damaged goods from reaching the customer's hands. The risk of deformation and damage caused by excessive heat and humidity must be minimized. A successful delivery process means that the product arrives at its intended destination at the right time and is in good condition.

The latest technology is being used to enhance the delivery process, such as automatically tracking the status of shipments. This automatic tracking allows customers to virtually understand the actual location of their orders. Any issues will be immediately notified to customers and suppliers for effective resolution of delay problems. Through automated invoicing, system based transactions, and intelligent applications, seamless delivery processes have also become possible, which is highly beneficial for electronic manufacturing.
