Advantages of one-stop PCBA processing

In some start-ups, solution companies, or small companies, it is common to choose PCBA processing (generally speaking, PCBA contracting labor and materials). For the above-mentioned enterprises, there is no perfect supply chain system, no matching engineer team and procurement team, so they need a manufacturer that can provide PCB, components, SMT patches, assembly testing, qualification certification and other services. What are the obvious advantages of one-stop service?

1、 Accurate PCB cost accounting

If small companies or start-ups want to become bigger and stronger, they must have a skill, that is, accurate financial planning. Often due to the imperfect system, suppliers need to provide complete quotation details, which is the basic service of one-stop PCBA processing plants. In fact, the early cost evaluation of the project is very helpful to the control of manufacturing risks. Usually, for a new product, it is impossible to carry out mass production at the beginning. Then PCBA suppliers can also provide SMT processing and proofing services to carry out large order function verification and evaluation, so as to help from the design scheme to the finished product test stage. If you are simply looking for SMT chip processing plants, you generally cannot obtain this service.

2、 Find problems at the source

One of the main advantages of one-stop processing is that any problem can be found early. In fact, once you share the BOM list and Gerber information with the PCBA manufacturer, he will be able to point out the existing problems (if any). Then we can improve some small mistakes in the design stage before production, rather than costly changes and repairs after the whole production, or the scrapping of the whole batch of products.

3、 Data traceability

The remarkable advantage of one-stop PCBA assembly is that in addition to saving time, it can also manage the data of all links in a unified way. Reduce the communication, negotiation and identification with various suppliers. At the same time, each process is under a large system, which makes the process seamless. It avoids costly repair consequences caused by communication errors between suppliers. In addition, if there is abnormal quality, it is also convenient to clarify the responsibility, eliminating the complex links of investigation and evidence collection. As long as there is a problem, the full responsibility lies with the one-stop service provider.

4、 5. Save time, effort, trouble and money

The one-stop PCBA manufacturer is responsible for the whole processing process. The obvious advantage of this is that the professional engineering and procurement team can save valuable time for customers and give customers time to focus on the marketing and promotion of products and the research and development of new products. At the same time, there is no need to spend time and energy to find a cost-effective quotation for a single link, and there is no need to go through a separate procurement and then find an SMT processing plant for efficient assembly. From the perspective of cost, time will be saved and the corresponding cost will be reduced.

Another one-stop service provider usually provides inventory and transportation services. For small businesses and start-ups, the importance of these services cannot be overemphasized. If these insignificant expenses are multiplied by time, they are not small expenses. Without spending time, energy and manpower in these aspects, and the advantages of cost control will be transformed into the comprehensive competitiveness of products.
