Among other things, we offer ● Data preparation & data checking (Gerber, Drill, BOM) ● Electrical testing of PCBs ● Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) ● X-ray inspection to check concealed solder joints (e.g. BGA)
What happens if components cannot be procured?
If certain components are still not available after the BOM has been validated, we will suggest equivalent alternatives. The decision on spare parts is always yours - we will not procure alternatives without your approval.
Which suppliers does RedBridge EMS work with?
We prefer to source components via Mouser and Digikey, as they offer broad availability and a high level of transparency. Alternatively, we also work with local suppliers in Shenzhen - always directly from the source and with clear quality assurance.
What happens if positions are unclear?
If a specification in the BOM is not clear, the process will not be released for the next step. Alternatively, we will contact you directly. In this way, we avoid incorrect assemblies and ensure that only the components you have approved are used. Furthermore, this guarantees efficient and cost-effective processing
What technical requirements does RedBridge EMS fulfil?
We work together with one of the renowned PCA assembly companies in Shenzhen. Our process fulfils international standards including AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), X-ray inspection, electrical testing and needle test applications.
