Circuit Playground

Ahhh, production time. The sweet smell of your final BOM in the air, you’re ready to start making some serious decisions. First, you’ll want to decide what demand might be—how much should you order? You’ll also need to think about the manufacturing supply chain, which will involve making decisions about board houses, manufacturers, and assembly houses.

OK – the fun time! Now that the PCB is done we panelize it for production and place orders for components. You will have to decide what amount of money you’re willing to silk into parts cost, keeping in mind you have to buy full reels to get good savings. We also order a stencil and schedule the first production run. The board is programmed into the pick and place and we run it through the machinery. Each board must then be functionally tested, and reworked if it doesn’t pass.
