Engineering and NPI Support
REGULUS provides engineering and design solutions and new product introduction (NPI) support to help box build assembly projects move from early engineering review to prototype or sample build, pilot production, and repeatable manufacturing readiness. We review product design, technical documents, assembly requirements, prototype or sample build needs, and production inputs to identify practical risks that may affect manufacturing readiness.
Design Review and DFM Feedback
We review the product design from a box build manufacturing perspective and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback when design details may affect assembly feasibility, repeatability, or inspection access. This may include PCBA placement, cable routing, connector orientation, enclosure tolerance, screw access, bracket design, module placement, and test point accessibility.
BOM and Technical Document Review
We review BOM files and technical documents to confirm whether the available data is sufficient for quotation, sourcing, assembly planning, inspection, and production control. This may include assembly drawings, mechanical drawings, cable drawings, wiring diagrams, firmware information, test instructions, labeling requirements, packaging specifications, and project-supplied items.
Prototype-to-Production and Readiness Review
We perform prototype or sample build evaluation to verify mechanical fit, assembly sequence, cable routing, module placement, test access, and packaging requirements before pilot production. During pilot production, we validate whether the assembly workflow, inspection checkpoints, test procedures, material readiness, documentation status, and packaging process can support a repeatable box build manufacturing process.
Turnkey PCB Manufacturing and Assembly
REGULUS provides PCB manufacturing and assembly as the board-level foundation for complete box build assembly services. This capability integrates the entire production sequence, from PCB fabrication and component preparation to PCB assembly, inspection, and functional testing, before the project moves into product-level integration.
This continuity between board-level production and box build manufacturing allows your engineering teams to optimize connector placement, board revision, programming status, test access, coating requirements, and mounting features before a PCBA is installed into the final product structure.
PCB Fabrication and Component Sourcing
We provide bare PCB fabrication and component sourcing as part of our turnkey PCB assembly services for box build projects. Our team manages board production requirements, sources approved components based on the BOM, verifies availability, confirms part specifications, and identifies material constraints before PCB assembly begins. This process helps reduce material mismatches, sourcing gaps, and specification conflicts that could affect later box build integration.
PCB Assembly, Conformal Coating, and Programming
We deliver high-precision PCB assembly based on project requirements, including lead-free PCBA, leaded PCBA, conformal coating, and programming. PCB assembly utilizes automated Surface Mount Technology (SMT), Through-Hole Technology (THT), or mixed assembly, while conformal coating and programming are integrated when the product design, operating environment, or functional requirements call for these steps. For box build projects, these services are cross-referenced with downstream integration needs. Component height, connector placement, coating keep-out areas, programming status, and test access directly dictate how the completed PCBA will be installed, connected, inspected, and verified inside the final product.
PCBA Inspection and Functional Testing
We perform structured PCBA inspection and functional testing to check board-level condition and functional readiness before the boards move into box build integration. Inspection and testing items can be defined based on project requirements, product design, test strategy, and acceptance criteria. Depending on the project, this may include SPI, AOI, visual inspection, programming verification, or other board-level functional checks. These checks help identify board-level issues before the PCBA is installed, connected, or verified as part of the final product.
PCBA Readiness for Box Build Integration
We verify each completed PCBA before box build integration to confirm whether it is ready for product-level assembly. This readiness check covers board revision status, connector orientation, mounting hole alignment, programming status, test access, mechanical interface requirements, and documentation readiness.
Cable, Harness, and Interconnect Assembly
REGULUS delivers complete cable, harness, and interconnect assembly services for products where internal wiring affects reliability, serviceability, and production repeatability. Our process extends beyond plugging in wires; it includes engineered routing, secure fastening, labeling, and electrical verification.
Wire Harness Installation and Cable Routing
We install wire harnesses and route internal cables based on project drawings, connector requirements, and product structure. This ensures internal wiring connects PCBAs, modules, switches, displays, power inputs, and external interfaces consistently while reducing cable strain, electromagnetic interference (EMI), bending issues, or access problems during assembly and inspection.
Connector Mating, Fastening, and Labeling
We perform connector mating and fastening to ensure connectors are fully seated, locked, fastened, and positioned according to project requirements. We also provide precise cable labeling to help operators identify wire paths, connector locations, harness assembly sequence, and routing requirements during production, inspection, troubleshooting, and service.
Wiring Continuity and Pinout Verification
We execute unpowered wiring continuity and pinout verification to confirm that our cable and wire harness assemblies follow the required electrical paths before final testing. This step serves as a dedicated interconnect-level gate that prevents incorrect wiring, reversed pinouts, or mismatched interconnects from causing electrical hazards or component damage during subsequent system-level testing.
Electro-Mechanical Assembly and Integration
REGULUS performs electro-mechanical assembly and integration when completed PCBAs, electronic subassemblies, connectors, enclosures, panels, brackets, fasteners, and internal structures must work together inside one product-level build. Our engineering capabilities secure the critical connection between electrical function and mechanical fit, alignment, access, and assembly consistency. At this stage, completed PCBAs, prepared cables, fabricated parts, enclosures, panels, brackets, and internal structures are assembled and aligned so the product can move toward system-level verification and final readiness.
PCBA and Electronic Subassembly Integration
We integrate PCBAs and electronic subassemblies when a product includes main boards, daughter boards, interface boards, control boards, or functional electronic subassemblies that must be arranged and connected within one product structure. Key execution points include precise board arrangement, subassembly placement, interface access, internal clearance, and connection readiness.
Module-to-PCBA and Electrical Interface Integration
We manage the underlying electrical architecture by resolving signal routing, protocol alignment, and power distribution interfaces between functional modules and the main PCBA. This process involves connecting modules, configuring protocol data paths (such as I2C, SPI, or USB), managing cable clearance, and verifying that the electrical interface follows the project-defined design before system-level testing.
Housing, Panel, and Internal Structure Assembly
We mount and position PCBAs inside the product housing, align them with enclosure openings, and assemble front, rear, or interface panels when external access areas must fit correctly with the product structure. We also install brackets, fasteners, frames, spacers, partitions, screws, and internal supports to secure electronic components, guide assembly sequence, reduce variation, and protect components from movement or stress.
Custom Parts Manufacturing and Finishing
REGULUS supplies custom parts manufacturing and finishing services for box build projects that require mechanical parts, housings, rubber or silicone components, metal structures, molded parts, or surface treatment.
