Challenge: Small order printed circuit board (PCB) runs are in higher demand as smaller growing physical computing experiment (labs), and individuals, seek to test market creative electronic projects. The MOQ standards of most affordable PCB manufacturing companies (mainly operating out of China), inflate the opportunity cost and make it hard for smaller electronics researchers and developers to test market their products.
Solutions: Development of an online, 360 solution for the manufacturing of small order run fully populated printed circuit boards with a tracking system to monitor the entire production process.
Results: A new streamlined physical computing production line system was designed.
Skills Needed: PCB manufacturing, smart website design, logistics and direct to consumer business model design.
