Technology & Products
Key Products
The Grid (automated factory module); Full turnkey PCB fabrication and assembly; Online platform with instant quoting from EDA files (Altium, EAGLE, KiCAD); Shared parts inventory (35K+ common parts); Virtual Build board viewer for design verification
Technological Advantage
Factory-scale robotics platform ("The Grid") with computer vision and AI-driven quality control; software platform that automates BOM reconciliation, parts sourcing, and production scheduling; shared parts inventory reducing procurement friction.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Software-defined automated factory delivering full turnkey PCB assembly in as fast as 3 days, with instant online quoting, transparent real-time metrics, and economical pricing for low-volume and prototype production.
How They Differentiate
Proprietary "Grid" factory module (5,000 sq ft) using robotics, computer vision, and AI quality control; publishes real-time KPIs publicly (first in industry); instant online quoting from native CAD files; 81% of full turnkey orders ship within 3 days; economical at low volumes (1-10,000 units) where traditional CM pricing breaks.
