HDI design-for-manufacture support
Stack-up review, impedance and thermal guidance, and fabrication feedback from prototype to volume.
Delivered as an engineering service.
Capabilities
Capability, recorded and evidenced
A capability is not a claim. It is a record. Each record states the customer problem, the outcome, the technical scope, how we deliver it, the skills needed and its evidence status.
What a capability record contains
The structure behind every capability
We complete each record before we publish the capability.
- Capability name and platform
- Customer problem and outcome
- Industries it applies to
- Inputs and outputs
- How we deliver it
- People and skills needed
- Technology used
- Security level
- Evidence status
Capability examples
Example capabilities
Digital twin and process simulation
Process modelling, capacity simulation and scenario testing before major decisions.
Delivered as a programme. Evidence: illustrative model.
Line analytics and yield insight
Data capture from production lines, downtime analysis and yield improvement targets.
Delivered as a managed service.
Knowledge search with sources
Search across approved technical records, with the source and version shown for each answer.
Version-controlled.
AI-assisted proposal drafting
Structured technical proposals built from approved records, with a person approving every one.
Human approval required.
Technical support and field service
Commissioning, preventive maintenance, spares and remote diagnostics for production equipment, under agreed service levels.
How we scope a request
Scope first, commercial terms later
We scope every capability request by the problem, the outcome, the technical limits and the evidence you need. Commercial terms come later, through our commercial desk.
Seven classes of evidence
Every claim in a capability record carries one evidence class. Internal tests are kept apart from accredited certification.
- Supplier claim
- Supplier certificate
- Independently verified
- AMS lab test
- External lab test
- Authorised decision
- Formal certification
Qualification outcomes
Six qualification outcomes
A qualification record ends in one of six outcomes, with the date and the responsible person recorded.
| Outcome | What it means |
|---|---|
| Qualified | Meets the requirement, with evidence |
| Conditionally qualified | Meets it with stated limits |
| Pending | Evidence not yet complete |
| Not qualified | Does not meet the requirement |
| Suspended | On hold after an issue |
| Expired | Evidence is out of date |
How a process step is controlled
Every step has a control, a check and a record
On the planned campus line, each of the 17 process steps will have a written procedure. It will say what the step does, what is controlled while it runs, what is checked before work moves on, and what is recorded against the panel.
| Step | Controlled while running | Checked before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| Inner imaging | Exposure dose and registration to fiducials | Line width and space on the test coupon |
| Lamination | Heat, pressure and vacuum by recipe | Thickness and layer registration by X-ray |
| Laser drilling | Laser energy per material and pad alignment | Via diameter, taper and a clean via bottom |
| Copper plating and via fill | Current density and bath chemistry | Copper thickness and via-fill dimple by cross-section |
| Surface finish | Nickel and gold thickness and bath chemistry | Thickness by X-ray fluorescence and a solderability sample |
| Electrical test | Netlist from the customer's own data | Every board tested; failures checked and kept apart |
Records will link to the panel's identity, so any board can be traced back through every step.
Fair and open pricing
When a technical inquiry turns into paid work, the price follows the same open rules as the engineering.
Fair prices
Work is priced for what it involves. We do not add a premium because a request is urgent or you have few other options.
The same rules for everyone
Every customer and partner is quoted on the same basis.
A clear written quote
It shows what is included and what is not, with no hidden charges.
Explained first, changed only in writing
We explain each price before you commit, and any change is agreed in writing through this website.
Quotes for boards and components follow these same rules.
