Companies offering Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), help OEMs with designing, assembling, producing and testing electronic components, and printed circuit boards (PCB). Nevertheless, not all companies require each of these services. Some companies pick a single or a combination of one of more services based on their requirement, and the type of company they are. For instance, some companies prior to the product development stage only require a design file from the customer, procure the components from a trusted distributor, and later on assemble and send it for testing purpose. Besides, EMS companies also offer onsite services such as PCB etching, or else, facilitate them through a contractor. inYantra, one of the best electronics manufacturing companies in Mumbai, and one of the leading electronics manufacturing companies in Gujarat throw some light on the various services offered by Electronics Manufacturing Services Companies.

Services of EMS Companies

Electronics Manufacturing Services companies typically offer the following services. Let us take a look at every service offered in a chronological manner starting from the first one.

• Designing: Designing services aren’t just about designing, but entail several other actions that form the course after figuring out the product needs or the client specifications, and yes, most importantly, before the manufacturing process or the assembly development begins. The EMS Company you choose, at the outset, may facilitate a product concept comprised of the important objectives of the project, and the initial specifications. Later on, the company might go researching with users, experts, and exploring similar or related products that already exist. Once all of this is done, the product is developed, visualized, tested, and a prototype is shared with the client for a final review.
•  
• Testing: The EMS Company may offer more than one or any of the following testing methods. These testing services include functional testing, analytical laboratory testing, in-circuit testing, automated optical inspection, agency compliance testing, x-ray testing, environmental testing, etc. Each of these test types has its own significance based on the factors that they test the product on.
•  
• Manufacturing: Leading electronics manufacturing companies in Mumbai specialize in one or more manufacturing technique and production volume. These companies manufacturing various types of products such as Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). PCBs are flat boards that hold electronic equipment. PCBs can be manufactured through two different techniques including through-hole (THT) and surface mount (SMT).

Through-hole technology, as the name suggests, is comprised of mounting components by inserting their leads through holes drilled in the board. Further, the leads are soldered into place on the opposite side of the board. Generally, THT components are hand-soldered or wave soldered to a PCB. Surface mount technology, on the other hand, involves soldering components to the top of the board. These components are generally less expensive and compact as compared to the THT counterparts. From the viewpoint of expediting the manufacturing process, modern pick-and-place machines can mount SMT components in a quicker and accurate manner.

Production: Production, obviously, is an important aspect in which a lot of Electronic Manufacturing Services companies specialize, based on the equipment availability and the company’s capabilities. Going by the volume, EMS companies are classified in three categories – low volume (1-100 products), medium volume (100- 10,000), and high volume (10,000) annually. Besides, some electronic manufacturers specialize in specialty production such as quick turn production and cabling services. Manufacturers specializing in this technique can assemble PCBs within 48 hours.
