With an ever-changing product demand and more machines becoming ‘smarter’ through Industry 4.0 and the ‘Internet of Things’, PP C&A has seen an increase in electronics assembly demand.
To support demand, PP C&A has invested heavily in its own facility and specifically, in a dedicated environment adhering to the stringent demands of ESD (electro-static discharge). This allows PP C&A to offer a new service that would have commonly been associated with Contract Electronic Manufacturers. The difference here is that PP C&A can add value by utilising its disciplines in strategic outsourcing and product build.
With significant added value and lead-time reductions, this dedicated service allows PP C&A to satisfy very specific and stringent electronics assembly work and subsequently explore and support new markets and applications.
This dedicated and controlled environment has capacity for more complex and delicate builds, encompassing high-end PCB assemblies and box builds.
The environment meet the specific needs of customer projects and the legal compliance to the recognised standards which includes investment in special flooring, benches and test equipment – all grounded to earth to ensure that life of the electronics is protected from potential electrostatic discharge.
