What to Look for in an Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) Provider

Demand for consumer electronics, clean energy technologies, and specialized healthcare devices is surging. As a result, companies developing products in these industries need a dependable electronics manufacturing partner to bring their products to life.

What Are Electronic Manufacturing Services?

An electronics manufacturer partners with companies to help turn their designs into high-quality, market-ready devices. Electronics manufacturing is a broad term that can apply to multiple industries, such as:

• Consumer electronics
• Aerospace
• Defense
• Robotics
• Electronic components
• Healthcare devices

EMS providers work with diverse clients to produce the complex devices and high-quality components they require. In addition, working with a digital manufacturing partner allows companies to focus on other aspects of the business without needing to build out their manufacturing plants.

For example, a company working on a new laptop design would expend massive capital to operate its own manufacturing plant. Instead, it would be more cost effective for them to explore computer hardware manufacturer companies to handle producing their designs.

What to Look for When Partnering with an EMS Provider

Selecting the right partner is vital to the success of a company’s product. So how can you evaluate a specific company offering manufacturing electronics services? Use the following questions as a starting point to thoroughly examine their offering:

• Do they have experience in your industry? You should first consider if they have a track record of working with similar companies and have high-quality results to show. An EMS provider that has served your industry for years or even decades has survived because it keeps its clients happy. 
• Will they add value to your product during the design phase? A top-tier EMS provider will have input into the design process if desired. In addition, providers can bring their experience to the table and help through Design for Manufacturing (DFM) processes. For example, a computer hardware manufacturer can lend their expertise to the design process to create optimized hardware for manufacturing.
• Has the provider invested in advanced manufacturing technologies? You should expect an electronic components factory to use the latest technological advancements in manufacturing. These advancements include machine learning, industrial internet of things, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.Selecting the right partner is vital to the success of a company’s product.
