No hardware plan survives a factory, unless you're ready.

The gap between a working prototype and a production run is where most hardware companies stall. We've been through it ourselves. We help you cross it without the usual 18-month ordeal.

first-pass yield is our production benchmark

From 10 units to 10,000, with data at every step.

We manage the full production ramp: DFM review, line qualification, test fixture integration, AOI inspection, and batch-level quality tracking. Every run produces a data trail you can actually use, not a paper report filed in a drawer.

Our Insyght Console dashboard gives you real-time visibility into yield rates, test results, and inspection logs, from your desk in Amsterdam, not just from a factory floor in Shenzhen.

DFM Review

Design for manufacturability check before committing to tooling. Catch problems that cost €60K to fix later.

Line qualification

First article inspection and pilot run. Sign-off before volume production begins.

Test & traceability

Custom test fixtures connected to Insyght Console. Every unit tracked from board to box.

Batch delivery

Logistics, customs, and delivery to your warehouse or direct to customers.

Four tests between solder and shipping

Every unit passes four checks on its way from bare board to sealed box. Each stage catches what the previous one can't, and each catch on the line is a return you never see.

AOI

Optical inspection

A camera photographs every freshly soldered board and compares it against a known-good reference: parts present, correctly placed, joints formed.

ICT

In-circuit test

A bed-of-nails fixture electrically probes each component before first power-up. Thirty boards failing on one part points at the process, not the parts.

FCT

Functional test

The board powers up and has to perform: firmware boots, sensors respond, radio transmits. We also measure sleep current and RF performance, per unit, with limits.

EOL

End-of-line test

The assembled product's final check: scan the QR code, verify buttons and Bluetooth, set shipping mode so the battery survives the warehouse, seal the box.

Live yield dashboards

Insyght Console shows real-time test pass rates, AOI results, and defect trends. No waiting for end-of-batch reports.

Fast NPI cycle

We target production readiness in weeks, not months. DFM, tooling, and first articles run in parallel where possible.

Named accountability

One person owns your production ramp end-to-end. You're not lost in a CM's ticket queue.

Quality at scale

Functional test fixtures, automated inspection, and field return tracking. Fewer warranty returns, cleaner data.

How we manage the factory floor

We built PogoBot, our own cloud-connected test fixture platform, to monitor pass rates, retest flags, and yield in real time without being on site. Every unit traced. Every result logged.

See how it works

Every unit leaves a data trail

Insyght Console logs test results, AOI scores, and production metadata per serial number. When a field return lands on your desk, you know exactly what happened on the line.
