Our light manufacturing services provide clients with a “one-stop shop” for the complete range of assembly and product configuration activities. We don’t operate as an EMS or contract manufacturer. Rather, we manage the complexity of configuring a manufactured device or product for end-market consumption.

In addition to managing the final assembly of components and parts into finished goods—including customization to meet specific customer configured orders—our light manufacturing capabilities involve a number of value-add manufacturing activities, including:

• Product testing
• Direct media load
• Multi-channel packaging (Retail, B2B, B2C, end user)
• Retail POS
• RFID tagging
• Product/service activation (including automated wireless activation for hardware vendors)
• Firmware load and testing
• Product flashing
• Language settings
• Personalization and engraving

A key value driver of our light manufacturing capabilities is our clients’ ability to leverage our extensive global footprint for optimal product configuration.  Our Optimized Configuration capabilities enable us to execute assembly and configuration of products in the optimal location or locations, including low-cost regions, and at the best time in the supply chain, based on your operating objectives.  For more information on our comprehensive Optimized Configuration capabilities, please select your appropriate vertical market on the Market Solutions Overview page and review our market-specific, Optimized Configuration Solution.

Additionally, our light manufacturing/configuration solutions are fully controlled through our ERP system with full integration of bills of material, revision control, serialization handling and lot batch controls. We have extended this flexibility by bringing in-house processes such as on-demand print, CD-R, DVD-R.
