PCB News - The feasibility of PCB outsourcing in pcb design

The feasibility of PCB board outsourcing, what are the benefits of PCB outsourcing?
When it comes to outsourcing, the first thing everyone thinks of is to send products or parts that they can't produce or don't want to produce to other factories. In fact, driven by the increasingly fine-grained division of labor, modern outsourcing is not only the outsourcing of products, but also outsourcing in the initial design stage of products. When there is demand, there will be corresponding supply.

At present, many companies still let hardware engineers do PCB design, and hardware engineers also need to do hardware solutions/chip selection/single board debugging, etc. This will inevitably extend the time to market for products. And now with the development of high-speed digital electronic technology, the higher the requirements for high-speed PCB design: signal integrity simulation analysis, timing analysis, signal return, crosstalk processing, single board EMC/EMI, power ground plane integrity, power ground bounce Effect; And the design density of single board is getting bigger and bigger, also need to master EDA software tools. The serialization of these tasks greatly extends the time to market for product development and does not meet the increasingly detailed requirements for specialized division of labor. In addition, it is difficult to find high-level PCB design engineers in the current market; and even if they are recruited, they need to invest a lot of manpower and energy in personnel training. Generally, it takes at least one year to cultivate high-level PCB design talents. Time; and there is no guarantee that there will be no loss of relevant personnel.

In fact, what your company needs is to be able to collaborate with your hardware engineers to quickly develop the company's products. For these tasks, why not let a professional PCB design service company help your company to solve it? At present, there are more well-known PCB outsourcing companies in China such as Bo, Hamp, Nein and other companies. The benefits of outsourcing design can be applied to the industry's most advanced PCB simulation analysis and design technology, especially high-speed and high-density PCB design technology to reduce comprehensive product development costs: in terms of staffing, there is no need to allocate the most people required during the design peak. Thereby greatly reducing labor costs; customers do not need to invest in human resources training, software and hardware environment, etc.; faster time to market for products, shorten development cycle; shorten the company's temporary exploration and learning of high-speed PCB design technology time; shorten the aforementioned As hardware engineers need to do too much work, they spend more development time; they are more focused on their core competitiveness-product hardware function development, software, etc.; hardware engineers can concentrate more on completing hardware functions, For the design of logic, you don't have to invest a lot of energy into the PCB design field that you are not familiar with.

Generally speaking, in the face of increasingly fierce market competition, the key to a company’s success is to seize its core competitiveness, concentrate on the parts that it does best, and take away some parts that have little to do with its core competitiveness. Outsource to partners. As a result, as most communication equipment companies in the industry have discovered, their expenditures on capital costs, labor costs, product development costs, etc. are reduced, that is, overall costs are reduced, while at the same time, they can ensure higher quality and higher efficiency of their products. And operational flexibility.
