  Design through to concept

  

  Our PCB design services provide electronic solutions to save you money and improve your products capability and reliability, by including the latest electronic technology within our PCB design. Let us supply the technology for you to be the market leader within your business sector.
  
  We make integrating electronics into your product easy. From concept through PCB layout design and prototyping to full manufacture and test. Discuss your product concept with our team in confidence, and under NDA if required, to explore its feasibility. We will then produce a development proposal outlining the concept of operation, agreeable project milestones with all associated costs and time scales.

  Customers wishing to explore the viability of a potential product can take advantage of our ability to quickly and cost effectively explore a basic concept complete with prototype PCB design. This will enable us to provide an estimated product cost should the development go ahead.

  First, your product will require a full schematic PCB design, including a number of different features:
  
  The power supply may be AC mains or DC low voltage. The product may be low cost or high performance. We have already designed hundreds of different types of power supply and have the PCB layout design for whatever is required, which takes into consideration all environmental, legislative, power and budget requirements.
  
  Product functionally may be controlled by simple logic gates or a Microprocessor, it may even require an integrated processor in an FPGA. Our engineers have many years experience of digital design using microprocessors from all leading manufacturers including ARM, Atmel, Cypress, Microchip and NXP. We also specialise in FPGA / CPLD development using VHDL with Altera and Xilinx. Whatever is the right product to do the job, we will incorporate it into our PCB design layout.

  Even working with minimal specifications such as PCB dimensions and what inputs and outputs you require, we can produce full schematics and PCB layouts for you. Once the schematic design is complete using industry standard EDA tools, it moves seamlessly into the integrated PCB layout design software. Your products physical restrictions and interconnections along with manufacturability are all taken into account by the PCB designer during this design phase.

  Now we are ready to produce a prototype or pre- production batch of your product. These assembled boards are used to validate the hardware design and to start developing the necessary firmware.

  

  Our firmware development experience encompasses numerous languages and environments including Assembler, C, C++, and JAVA. The language used depends on the processor and application. Usually a low cost processor having a simple repetitive task could be developed in assembler and a more complex system with large data storage would use C++ on a higher end processor.
  
  You may also require a PC or Android application to communicate with your product and display information. Our software development team will produce your software using C#, C++ or JAVA depending on the platform

  Electronic Manufacturing Services

  

  We provide full electronics manufacturing services and can support you to re-engineer your product as it evolves through its life cycle, with the flexibility to handle one- off prototypes through to full production volumes.
  
  Unlike some other electronics companies, we provide a full range of electronics manufacturing services from rapid prototyping, obsolescence engineering support, product re-engineering, capability upgrades, design re-work, failure analysis or batch manufacturing. We pride ourselves on being one of the most competitive electronic manufacturing companies for electronic manufacturing services in the UK.

  Genlab have the tools, knowledge and expertise to produce your products, to your specifications, to the highest quality and on time. We will gladly accept free issue components for your project, or if required, work with our approved supply chain to compile BOMs ready, offering our customers the best solution that works for them.

  We use the latest in fully automated surface mount assembly equipment, facilitating fast accurate placement of components down to 1005 and uBGA, coupled with intelligent feeders for rapid setup and flexibility, allowing us to complete relatively small batches economically.

  The additional advantage of this technology is the ability to react quickly to our customers requirements on short lead-time deliveries. This technology coupled with a team of experienced assembly technicians carrying out through hole conventional assembly enable Genlab to deal with whatever challenges are thrown our way.

  Our highly trained staff can build complex surface mount technology PCB's by hand to provide a low cost solution for prototyping and small-scale production runs. Once your product is proven, or your production quantities increase, we can move seamlessly to our automated pick and place machine to reduce build time and costs.
  
  Our electronics manufacturing services range from the supply of assembled boards using your free-issue components through to full sourcing and supply of parts, coupled with board build, final product assembly and wiring including all programming and functional test.
   
  Over the years, we have built an established network of component suppliers from reputable electronics companies and can leverage our purchasing power to reduce the material cost of your products. We also work closely with a number of printed circuit board manufacturers, enabling us to source from the best possible supplier to meet your products complexity or quality standards.

  Our test department is staffed by conscientious people, who take pride in ensuring your products leave us at the highest standard possible.
  
  Whether it is purely visual inspection or full programming and functional test specified, they have a range of tools and equipment available to provide you with a trouble free product.
  
  Everything from receipt of order to supply of finished goods is recorded on our computer systems providing us with full traceability of parts, assembly operations and test results. This process helps us to identify any possible weaknesses in products or parts and enables us to recommend any enhancements we may see in your product.

  We create all manufacturing documentation necessary to provide us with the means to provide you with a quality product time after time all backed by a twelve month guarantee on everything produced. At the end of the development we pass over full Intellectual Property rights to you. However, this is often not the end of the development. Product upgrades and on going continued support are all part of the solution we offer in our partnership. We share the philosophy that the better your product is, the more products sales we all benefit from so ongoing support is key.

  

  Our Bespoke Control Solutions division is also complimented with mechanical design, precision laser cutting, and graphical design services for overlay facias, and, a wealth of experience in supporting EMC testing.
