Choosing the right electronic manufacturing services (EMS) partner demands careful consideration to ensure the success of your project.
Of course, the first step in the selection process is understanding your specific needs – namely, your product specifications along with your budget and regulatory requirements. You must clearly define the scope of your project – e.g. whether it involves prototyping, small batches or mass production – and ensure the EMS provider can reliably deliver the results you expect.
It’s also important to look for specific experience in your industry, especially in highly regulated markets such as medical devices or industrial electronics. A detailed understanding of your requirements will help you align with a partner capable of delivering tailored solutions.
By carefully orchestrating the overall product life cycle, Pergamon streamlines your path to market while developing quality-backed products, optimized in terms of both cost and performance.
Engineering and Manufacturing Capabilities
Naturally, a manufacturer’s technical capabilities are the cornerstone of any effective EMS partnership. You have to ensure the provider’s product development process and manufacturing technologies meet your requirements. At Pergamon, that includes comprehensive PCB assembly with surface mount technology (SMT) and plated through-hole assembly, along with a full suite of manufacturing processes to tackle custom box builds or virtually any electronics components that go into them.
Quality Control and Testing
Ultimately, the success of your project hinges on the quality of your products. You have to ensure your quality targets are continually met – not just for the initial product run, but for every subsequent delivery. That means choosing an electronics manufacturer that is certified to deliver high quality and consistency. At Pergamon, our quality control process is backed by multiple certifications and industry standards:
- ISO 9001:2015
- 21CFR820
- IPC-A-610 Class 2,3 Workmanship
- IPC 7711/7721 Rework/Repair
- J-STD-001 Class 2&3 Certified Trainers
Beyond standard quality control procedures, extensive testing capabilities are also integrated into our process:
- Automated optical inspection
- Customized functional testing
- Standard modular test systems
- RF test capability
- Environmental testing
- Burn-in
- Failure analysis
- Process and product qualification
- Test records management with direct database integration
Location Can Also Be Crucial
Location is often key to establishing a successful, long-term manufacturing partnership. Domestic companies typically benefit from working with American manufacturers simply due to better, more effective communication and collaboration. Especially when it comes to developing new products or modifying existing designs, responsive communication is crucial.
Furthermore, Pergamon’s robust vendor network gives our customers peace of mind: we ensure a reliable source for all critical components, effectively working around supply chain disruptions whenever possible.
