Texcel improves manufacturer's delivery response
Texcel Technology has enabled HV manufacturer Start-Spellman to improve its delivery flexibility as part of a strategic outsourcing agreement for low-volume, high-variety PCBs and subassemblies.
Both designs were extensions of existing products to tackle new markets, and Texcel took the customer's unproven outline designs through debug and development cycles to deliver working models to meet early prototype programmes.
"Time was the key issue for us", says Delphi's Nigel Baker.
"We did not have several man-weeks of effort available to produce the exhaustive information pack needed by our larger suppliers.
Texcel were very responsive, taking over the responsibility of iterating from our raw product development ideas, and delivering working systems".
The first unit was an engine management unit for use with a new industrial engine type, and therefore needed to be designed to deliver system integrity within extremely inhospitable environments, while the second project covered special-to-type break-out boxes for use in system debug during development and on the production line.
Commenting on the projects, Peter Shawyer, MD Texcel Technology, said, "Design adoption, and quick turn-round development represents an increasing proportion of Texcel's EMS activity, especially for small to medium volumes, where our batch-optimised production lines are able to deliver to tight schedules, and within budget".
