Opting for the replacement of faulty or damaged circuit boards is often the most cost-effective method for prolonging the life of industrial and commercial electronics. An advanced electronics manufacturing company can cater to a wide range of your business requirements, including:
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are sensitive to the point where it seems risky to breathe near one. While that’s not true, a single resistor failure can cause an entire product to fail.
Often, businesses assume they have to buy a new board to get their machine up and running again -- but this may not be the case. You can probably find PCB repair services near you that fix the board for a fraction of the replacement cost.
Electronics remanufacturing companies typically work with OEMs in industries like:
We know that repairs are cheaper than replacement orders. Let’s go a little deeper than that to see what powers remanufacturing services:
There are a lot of circuits to take to get around a problem with electronics. Sometimes the contractor recommends a combination of services.
A supplier’s cable, wire, and PCB repair techniques can include:
Industrial machines cost millions of dollars and have a limited amount of electronics. When those electronics fail, PCB refurbishment and/or system rebuilds make the most sense.
You can rebuild the whole machine for less than it would cost you to replace it. The right aftermarket services provider can improve quality and cut turnaround times, too.
Electronic board repair services can be used to fix damaged:
A good repair company can take your broken PCBs and return them good as new. This repair process not only saves you from the expense of replacing the entire circuit board, but also promotes sustainability by reducing electronic waste and the need for new resources.
Encountering issues with a product can be puzzling, making it difficult to identify and address the problem. Luckily, an aftermarket electronics repair company can effortlessly diagnose the issue at hand, even when you lack the Gerber files or have previously attempted unsuccessful repairs. These specialists are well-equipped to handle such challenging situations.
By pinpointing and replacing the failing component, the repair company helps you avoid the need to purchase entirely new circuit boards, saving both time and resources in the process.
Many electronics need periodic updates -- that necessary evil isn’t changing anytime soon. It could be a software update, a product recall, or some other situation where you must ensure your product is optimized.
An electronics remanufacturing company should be able to identify required or recommended upgrades and to make sure those upgrades are completed correctly.
Companies that manufacture and repair aftermarket electronics generally can test your electronic components. There are many PCB testing methods, and the scope of those services varies by contractor.
If you need testing done -- especially if you’re a regular customer -- you can easily get your remanufacturer to:
Sometimes products that have been out in the field for a while no longer adhere to their required tolerances. These products need to be recalibrated to make sure the intended output of the product is within the right specs.
Electronic recalibration services ensure that equipment:
Aftermarket electronics services are a case of spreading out painful expenses vs. taking one huge lump all at once. For most industries, that’s a more cost-sensible way of operating.
