Design for Procurement (DFP)

Design for Procurement (DFP) is a key strategy at SMT Intelligence to ensure a robust and optimized supply chain. We perform an in-depth analysis of your Bill of Materials (BOM) and implement intelligent supply chain management. This includes identifying alternative sources and proactively anticipating obsolescence. Our approach guarantees shorter production lead times and cost optimization without compromising quality, all supported by transparent communication and detailed reporting via our ERP software, which centralizes data and operations.

Design for Testability (DFT)

Design for Testability (DFT) is fundamental to ensuring the quality and reliability of every electronic product. Our extensive expertise in test engineering, built over 25 years of experience, aims to make your products inherently easy to test and diagnose. We maximize test coverage while minimizing implementation lead times and costs. We develop customized test benches, including our innovative Smartest Station solution, for fast and efficient testing. Our comprehensive range of tests includes In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Functional Testing (FCT), high-power system and robotic testing, environmental testing (vibration, thermal cycling), thermal shock testing, optical testing, spot testing, and X-ray testing. We also use advanced protocols such as JTAG for fault diagnosis and fault tolerance.
