Manufacturing complex components and products requires precision, trust and clear communication between customers and suppliers (manufacturers).
Build to print manufacturing offers a specialist solution, with manufacturers using their skills, technical expertise and industry experience to produce parts to customer specification, utilising the customer's technical data pack.
This approach creates a strong partnership where the customer controls the design, and the manufacturer focuses on delivering quality components that meet the exacting requirements on time, every time.
What Is Build To Print Manufacturing?
Build to print manufacturing is the production of a sub-assembly, product or system based on existing drawings and specifications, without changing the design or adding extra features. The manufacturer builds the product exactly as detailed in the design.
On-Systems offers a build to print service designed to simplify manufacturing methods. Our service includes taking detailed drawings and designs and turning them into high quality, robust products that comply with the regulations needed for harsh environments. Using established manufacturing techniques to international standards, such as IPC-J-STD and fully traceable materials, On-Systems ensures that there is precision and reliability in every build, for both prototype and production services.
Specialist build to print manufacturing uses technical drawings and bills of materials (BOM) supplied by clients to create fully compliant products and assemblies. Our engineering team will ensure that products are productionised and that manufacturing is undertaken in an efficient, repeatable and controlled method, through the use of Standard Operating Procedures, skilled staff and robust inspection points.
Why Outsource Manufacturing?
This manufacturing approach offers several advantages:
- Design authority (customer) retains complete control over the product design. This is important when intellectual property or specific performance criteria are involved.
- Since the manufacturer follows exact specifications, customers can expect consistent results that meet their standards.
- Production can start quickly, providing the technical data is well documented.
- Where documentation lacks clarity, On-Systems can provide a reverse engineering approach and PFMEA to create a robust technical data pack.
- Customer can focus on their core objectives and allow the specialist manufacturers to provide compliant products.
In house manufacture in larger organisations has become more complicated and expensive, and the agility and reduced overhead constraints of an SME like On-Systems yields measurable benefits to our existing customers and will continue to do so for new customers. We work together with our customers to help advance efficiency and quality when they outsource their build to print process to us. On-Systems are highly experienced in manufacturing electrical and electro-mechanical assemblies for clients in land defence, air and marine sectors. From there we have built a base of loyal, returning clients, becoming an extension of their internal team.
