Prototyping of electronic devices using SMT assembly in the Comarch IoT Plant
Prototype building is an important yet problematic business area for electronics manufacturers. Fierce competition and increasing customer demands are forcing us to act faster and work even more efficiently. The time available for the design phase is shrinking significantly, and the preparation of a prototype in short-run production requires a reorganisation of processes not only in the factory but also throughout the company. This is why more and more companies are looking to collaborate in this area. This kind of support is offered by Comarch IoT Plant, providing rapid prototyping and electronic device assembly services (EMS, Electronic Manufacturing Services).

Electronics quality control using X-ray in Comarch IoT Plant
Quality control is a key aspect of electronics manufacturing. However, due to the increasing complexity combined with miniaturization of electronic components, the challenge is to detect defects that can affect the performance of products. This forces the development of more and more accurate inspection methods and accompanying technologies to support the analysis of results. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is helpful, which allows you to conduct an inspection using X-ray radiation (X-ray) and computed tomography (CT) in a precise way. Both methods are successfully used in Comarch IoT Plant.
