Rigorous Testing & Traceability
- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI): Detects solder defects and component misplacements early.
- X-Ray Inspection: Verifies hidden solder joints in BGA and fine-pitch components.
- In-Circuit Testing (ICT): Confirms electrical connectivity and function at board level.
- Functional Testing: Simulates UAV operating conditions to ensure real-world reliability.
- Material Traceability: Full batch tracking from raw PCB substrate to finished assembly for accountability.
Why Certifications Matter in UAV Manufacturing
- Ensures consistent performance under vibration, temperature, and environmental stress.
- Minimizes risk of field failures that can jeopardize expensive UAV missions.
- Facilitates regulatory approval for commercial and defense drone markets worldwide.
- Builds trust with OEM customers and end-users through proven quality commitment.
Our Commitment to Quality
- Dedicated quality control team monitoring every production stage.
- Continuous staff training aligned with the latest IPC and UL standards.
- ISO-certified cleanroom environments for sensitive PCB assembly.
- Rapid corrective action for any non-conformance with full documentation.
