Problems we’ve solved
Customers bring us their toughest manufacturing problems. Here’s how we solved a few of them.
Real challenges. Real solutions.
01Automating a manual process
One PCB replaced hand-soldered parts
Less complexity, labor, and cost, built together with the customer.
The challenge
The customer’s process relied on hand soldering multiple parts. It was slow and labor-intensive.
What we did
We reviewed every product spec and designed a single PCB to replace the hand-soldered parts.
02Increasing profit through smart engineering
Higher margin, no price increase
A trusted partner for 20+ years, even through the customer’s acquisition.
The challenge
The customer’s main manufacturing partner went out of business. They needed a partner who shared their values and could help them keep growing.
What we did
We recommended re-engineering that lowered total manufacturing cost. Profit went up without raising prices, freeing budget for R&D.
03Moving quickly to scale
Zero line-downs through COVID-19
The customer became a market leader, and Amtech became their partner across the whole organization.
The challenge
Respirator protective equipment became critical during COVID-19, but supply chain disruptions and staffing made production nearly impossible.
What we did
We stood up production in weeks. When supply chains failed, we re-engineered and sourced alternates. When shutdowns hit, we adapted our operation to keep people safe and lines running.
04Faster speed to market
Faster idea-to-production, every product line
We keep growing together and keep shortening the path from idea to prototype to production.
The challenge
A growing electronics testing company was taking too long to get from idea to market.
What we did
We ran a full process audit, studied their business model, and used AmtechOS and an agile line to compress the development cycle.
