In electronics manufacturing, Turnkey or Turn-Key, is a type of outsourcing method that turns over to the subcontractor all aspects of manufacturing including material acquisition, assembly and testing. Its opposite is consignment, where the outsourcing company provides all materials required for the products and the subcontractor provides only assembly equipment and labor.
Benefits of Turnkey PCB Assembly Services:
- Single vendor – Relying on a turnkey assembly supplier, you have a single point of contact to work with. You don’t have to worry about delays and miscommunications between vendors, and any changes that need to be addressed can be handled with one phone call or an email. Managing multiple vendors can be overwhelming, particularly if they are scattered around the world. With China-based MADPCB, you can get fast responses to your demands.
- Flexible assembly – Whether you need a small batch of board assemblies or a full production run, an experienced turnkey PCB assembly is equipped to meet your needs. They can match whatever assembly method you require (through-hole, surface mount, mixed) and even provide secondary services such as box build assembly.
- Prototypes – Traditionally, fabricating a PCB prototype or PCBA prototype has been an expensive, slow, and daunting process. Juggling slow lead-times, multiple vendors around the world, and out-of-stock components can become an overwhelming task. With full turnkey assembly, you can build and refine your prototypes faster and more efficiently. Getting a product to market quickly and affordably has never been easier.
- Quick Launching to market – The ease and affordability of turnkey electronics assembly means that anyone can bring their ideas to life, including startups who don’t know if they’ll need a few boards or hundreds. In today’s cut-throat electronics market, having a cool new product is only the first step. Being able to keep up with demand is necessary to stay ahead of the competition. Experienced turnkey electronics services can help you get reliable products to market quickly, every time.
- Cost savings – With end-to-end solutions from a single provider, you eliminate the costs of shipping between vendors for various stages of development. Established turnkey assembly services, such as MADPCB, also have verified supply chains. This ensures you get high-quality parts at prices you could not negotiate yourself.
