As national interest in healthcare costs climbed to an all-time high, Accuro Medical Products had a prime window of opportunity to introduce a new product to the healthcare market that would reduce the healing time of wound treatments. As a start-up company, Accuro needed to find a manufacturer who was capable of quickly moving product through the prototype stage, and then immediately support their production needs.
They needed a full-service electronics assembly company that could react quickly to rapidly increasing orders, but at the same time had the ability to handle design changes as the product matured. OSDA met both criteria and partnered with Accuro Medical to bring their new Negative Pressure Wound Therapy product to the healthcare industry.
OSDA reduced Accuro Medical’s time to market from thirteen weeks to five, even in a difficult environment of ever-increasing lead times from semiconductor manufacturers.
Like the quality of a plasma screen TV? OSDA helped bring it to market for Plasmaco, the company that built the first commercially viable plasma screen TV for the high-definition market. Company founder Larry Weber had a great idea, but needed to partner with someone who had state of the art equipment and a thorough knowledge of SMD manufacturing.
Because of the sophistication of the board, poor documentation and design changes as the product evolved, Plasmaco had difficulty finding a supplier who could build it consistently. This is where OSDA came into the picture. Providing the technical expertise, flexibility and the ability to build prototypes quickly, OSDA became Plasmaco’s EMS provider. We kept pace with Plasmaco’s changes as their product evolved. Starting at a 14” TV and finally moving into a 60” model, OSDA was able to supply all electronic modules along the way.
Plasmaco’s initial customers included the Wall Street executive crowd, because they had the money and needed superior clarity, and yacht owners, because they had the money and needed the space advantage of a thin screen that could hang on a wall. The original units sold in the range of $20,000 to $30,000.
After its successful introduction, Plasmaco was purchased by Panasonic.
OSDA in an authentic just in time provider. Although the phrase is bantered about a bit, most people do not adhere to the doctrine of setting up for one piece. OSDA does!
If you requirement is for one piece, that is what OSDA will build, and not by hand. OSDA builds one piece the same as it does a 1000 pieces. On a machine and using the same process’ as any production order would see.
The benefits are quality, but also this method highlights any issues that may adversely affect the manufacturing of the product, one it goes to production. A hand assembler can make most things fit, even if something like a pad geometry is NOT correct or the package size is incorrect. Unless specifically noticed, when the product goes to production, machines are not as friendly.
Understanding the importance of finding manufacturing issues at an early stage, OSDA also supplies a manufacturability report with the shipment of each new assembly. This report reflects issues such as non-compliance with Bill of Materials, IPC standards and anything that would prevent an automated assembly line from properly working.
Want one piece for a production job….that is also OK!
ABISEE is the inventor of a product that quickly reads text and converts it to audio or Braille. Their product allows the blind to “read” novels, newspapers, monthly bills or anything where text is available
When ABISEE, needed someone to help them grow their business, without sacrificing quality, ii picked OSDA. At this critical point of its growth, ABISEE needed a contractor that could keep up with a rapidly growing business, and meet ever-demanding schedules.
Partnering with OSDA has allowed them to concentrate on helping their customers, without worrying about whether the product would be available when it is needed.
OSDA is proud to supply all the electronics for this exceptional device.
Brookhaven Laboratories needed help to build a series of Printed Circuit Board Assemblies, that would be used to “straighten” atoms. The problem was, the atoms, after being released from the accelerator, were not colliding head on. This meant they could not simulate the moment of the Big Bang. Brookhaven designed boards that when placed around the accelerator, would continually correct their alignment. They looked to OSDA to supply the experience and knowledge in building some of the most complex printed circuit board assemblies in the world.
From this small start; OSDA began working with Yale, Columbia and Berkley Universities to provide manufacturing assistance to CERN, and the global consortium building the largest Accelerator in the world.
If we can help some of the greatest physicists in the world, maybe we can help you too.
OSDA now provides Kanban integration for its partners, stocking carefully calculated minimum quantities of inventory and using a pull system to drive the replenishment of these products. On longer term orders, OSDA will place a small amount of your product into our Kanban system. This enables you to access finished goods instantly, reducing inventories and increasing cash flow.
OSDA can also arrange to package your product and ship it directly to the customer.
Customers have found this system especially efficient for obsolete spare parts programs.
OSDA has manufactured thousands of printed circuit boards used in products that lift workers high into the air - aerial lifts, cranes, scissor platforms and other applications that require tight controls and ultimate safety. Putting people inches away from 60,000 volts means quality cannot be compromised!
OSDA customers can rest assured that assemblies we manufacture never waiver from their specifications.
Leveraging our state of the art equipment and technical expertise, we work with integrated circuit manufacturers, including Intel®, to give them the ability to provide their customers with the most technically advanced products in the world and enable them to showcase their newest designs.
These assemblies have provided engineers worldwide with the ability to test the most advanced integrated circuits in the world and incorporate them into their latest products.
OSDA provides a full array of electronic assembly test methods.
We can provide in-circuit testing. It is achieved quickly and cost effectively through our flying probe test fixture. Automated optical inspection (AOI) ensures that the placement of components meets the rigorous standards of your specification. And for clients who need a range of final tests, OSDA can provide functional testing of final assemblies using custom test fixtures.
With OSDA's focus on continuous quality improvement, coupled with a concentrated effort to eliminate problems at the source, OSDA's acceptance rate is the best in the industry, even without test. Many customers feel that with such high yields, they can save money and forgo testing altogether.
Let us discuss your needs and design a process that provides YOU with the lowest cost, most effective solution.
