FAQ - Frequently asked questions about ACTIA’s EMS services
ACTIA’s Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) service plays a critical role in accelerating electronic systems development, by integrating engineering expertise at the earliest stages of a project. ACTIA supports its customers by making key architectural and technological choices that align with both product performance and manufacturability requirements.
This early involvement ensures optimal component placement, efficient routing and compatibility with downstream production constraints. Design decisions align with IPC standards, for high quality and reliability. ACTIA’s engineers collaborate closely with customers to design components that are functionally sound and optimized for assembly, testing and lifecycle support.
As an electronic manufacturing services provider, ACTIA applies comprehensive DFx methodologies:
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
- Design for Test (DFT)
- Design for Assembly (DFA)
These processes align product design with industrial constraints, guaranteeing reliable, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing.
ACTIA’s extensive feedback loop as an electronic manufacturing services company allows for upstream optimization of processes. Design files are systematically analyzed using advanced software to identify potential risks related to manufacturability, solderability, thermal behavior and test coverage.
By securing manufacturability and quality from the design stage, ACTIA not only improves production efficiency but also enhances product reliability and compliance with sector-specific standards. This rigorous industrialization phase is a fundamental part of ACTIA’s EMS services.
High-performance Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) requires precision and process control. ACTIA integrates X-ray inspection for hidden joints, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) for defect detection and robotized or manual conformal coating for protection against harsh environments.
ACTIA’s capacity to tailor assembly flows offers significant agility, especially in the context of complex or evolving products portfolio. This approach enhances responsiveness and reduces lead time to manufacture high-quality products.
By leveraging adaptable integration platforms, ACTIA supports both standard and customized assembly of sub-systems, housings and complete electronic units. This flexibility allows for rapid switching between product variants and accommodates engineering changes without disrupting the overall production flow.
Integration is tightly linked to testing and final validation processes, ensuring that functional, environmental and regulatory compliance requirements are addressed before delivery.
This scalable and configurable production model shortens time-to-market, limits non-recurring costs and improves responsiveness across product lifecycles.
Test planning is informed by Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to target the most critical failure risks and establish robust detection coverage. ACTIA deploys a full range of test technologies, including Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), In-Circuit Test (ICT) and functional testers, mobile probe testers and VRT thermal chamber (Vibration Response Test ). Burn-in testing is performed to identify early-life failures and verify long-term operational stability under stress conditions.
ACTIA ensures that every assembled electronic system meets its reliability targets by combining preventive methods and advanced test coverage
Dedicated teams manage all flows between industrial sites, suppliers and customers, ensuring real-time coordination and adaptability. ACTIA supports both regular and ad hoc flows, including vendor managed inventory.
ACTIA’s status as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) since 2011 reflects a mature and compliant international logistics process. This certification facilitates smoother customs procedures, enhances reliability in cross-border operations and contributes to better risk management throughout the supply chain.
By integrating supply chain management into its EMS offer, ACTIA reinforces its ability to deliver on time, mitigate disruption and maintain service levels across the entire product lifecycle.
In the context of electronic manufacturing services, where supply constraints and obsolescence risks are common, ACTIA applies a proactive, multi-sourced procurement model. Alternative references are identified early and technical equivalence is assessed in collaboration with engineering teams to ensure continuity without compromising design integrity or compliance.
ACTIA’s teams continuously monitor market conditions, lead times and potential shortages and relies on proactive sourcing strategies to find alternative sources when needed.
This comprehensive approach to sourcing allows ACTIA to control costs, availability and long-term supply in an increasingly volatile component market.
