Prodrive chooses Assembléon to deliver high-end tailored products at off-the-shelf prices
The secret of Prodrive’s success is its time-saving, low-labor-content philosophy and passion for quality – and a flexible and efficient production line that is powered by Assembléon.
Introducing Prodrive
Prodrive is a Dutch supplier of design, manufacturing and services. It offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) tailored products and services at off-the-shelf prices and conditions.
Flexibility and quality paramount
In the highly competitive semiconductor, medical, traffic & transport and consumer electronics markets that Prodrive serves, flexibility, low-labor content and quality production are crucial. The key to success lies in Prodrive’s design and production expertise.
AX-501 and AX-201 meet the challenge
Powered by Assembléon’s AX-501 and AX-201 production lines featuring PPS software, Prodrive is well placed to deliver optimum price-performance, quality and flexibility. The Assembléon lines enable Prodrive to achieve impressive productivity rates on job runs usually ranging from 1 to 10,000 PCBs, with changeovers under ten minutes. Extremely low defect placements assured by the A-Series line allow extremely high first-pass yields, with a finished-product reject ratio below 1:1000. With returned PCBs being almost negligible, Prodrive maintains profitability in hugely challenging conditions.
Incremental change
Above all, Prodrive chooses Assembléon as a supplier because of our incremental and modular design approach to all our products. This allows seamless equipment upgrades to meet new business and production demands, ensuring stability and continuity through compatibility. Prodrive is prepared for all eventualities, including emergency situations. Its ‘copy exact’ philosophy guarantees continuity in case of calamities, and allows for flexibility in operator and production-capacity allocation.
According to Prodrive, Assembléon delivers top quality support. “This company sells more than just products and services,” reports Arno van der Heijden, product manager. “It sells an organization which understands our business and reacts to our operational needs. That is why we work closely with Assembléon. Prodrive is also impressed with Assembléon’s excellent response times and smooth spare-part ordering and delivery process. “In short, Assembléon fulfills our expectations,” concludes Van der Heijden.
