Lessons in Resilience: How ECMs are Bouncing Back from Supply Chain Uncertainty
December 15, 2025
Not long ago, many manufacturers faced an unwelcome reality: parts that had always been readily available were suddenly unavailable. Lead times stretched from weeks to months, and in some cases, even years. Project timelines slipped, costs spiked, and once-reliable schedules became unpredictable. For companies depending on electronic contract manufacturers (ECMs) to build and deliver, it […]
Leveraging COTS for Speed and Cost-Efficiency in Defense Electronic Manufacturing
December 12, 2025
Defense projects face a constant balancing act. On one hand, they demand advanced technology built to perform reliably under harsh conditions. On the other hand, budgets are tightening and development timelines are shorter than ever. Traditional custom-designed components often drive up costs and extend production cycles, leaving program managers searching for alternatives that deliver the […]
ECMs Support Secure Electronic Development for the Aerospace and Defense Sectors
December 1, 2025
In the aerospace and defense sectors, protecting the security of electronic manufacturing is non-negotiable. High-quality, domestic, turnkey electronic contract manufacturers (ECMs) provide the most reliable solution for this critical need. By keeping production in the United States, manufacturers and developers maintain greater oversight and control of sensitive designs, source code, and technical data. Domestic ECMs […]
How to Avoid Common Pitfalls When Outsourcing PCB Assembly
November 28, 2025
Outsourcing printed circuit board (PCB) assembly can provide original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with the flexibility to scale production, leverage specialized processes, and bring products to market more quickly. But it can also come with challenges. Many OEMs discover too late that working with the wrong contract manufacturer introduces problems instead of solving them. A design […]
Supporting Medical Teams in Developing Safe, Ready-for-Market Devices
November 21, 2025
Experienced, high-quality ECMs play an important role in working with teams through the complexities of bringing new medical devices to market. By supporting every stage of design, testing, and production, innovation goes hand in hand with safety and reliability. Dedicated engineering teams with expertise in working with medical regulations can help streamline development, optimize production, […]
Innovative Technologies and Trends in Electronic Manufacturing
September 19, 2025
Electronic manufacturing has never been a static industry, where the status quo is the norm. Technology is designed to push the boundaries to see what else we can do, how far we can reach, and what we can tweak to make the good even better. In electronic contract manufacturing, technology isn’t just advancing. Technology is […]
Advancing Healthcare Through Electronic Manufacturing
September 15, 2025
Electronic devices play a critical role in advancing healthcare. The development of medical systems that rely on electronic components have allowed for devices that are more effective, efficient, and accurate than what was considered possible even as little as a decade ago. From imaging equipment to diagnostics, from patient monitoring to therapeutic devices, advancements in […]
Innovations in Medical Device Design: Improving Patient Outcomes
September 8, 2025
For patients facing surgery, chronic illness, or even routine monitoring, the tools used to diagnose and treat them can shape every part of their experience — and often their recovery. Poorly designed devices can make procedures more painful, healing slower, and outcomes less predictable. Smart, patient-focused innovation is changing that story every day. Today’s medical […]
Meeting Military Specifications with Rugged Electronic Assemblies
September 5, 2025
The battlefield isn’t a forgiving place. The electronic devices accompanying soldiers into combat zones, high-altitude airspace, and remote installations must perform flawlessly no matter the circumstances. Whether it’s the punishing heat of a desert deployment, the deep freeze of Arctic operations, or the relentless vibrations inside an armored vehicle, failure is simply not an option. […]
Considerations in Designing and Manufacturing Electronic Warfare Systems
September 1, 2025
In today’s battlespace, dominance no longer belongs solely to those with the most powerful weapons but to those who can control the electromagnetic spectrum. Electronic warfare (EW) systems have become essential tools for disrupting enemy operations, protecting assets, and gathering intelligence. Yet, designing and manufacturing these complex systems isn’t straightforward. Success demands a deep understanding […]
