From Prototype to Serial Production
A functional prototype is not always ready for stable manufacturing.
Electrolomas assists in reviewing documentation, materials, assembly, and testing to convert the client’s design into a clear and repeatable production process.
Our expertise in circuits, wiring, and electromechanical equipment allows us to identify supply risks, assembly challenges, documentation ambiguities, and tooling requirements before scaling up production.
Industrialization Engineering and Design for Manufacturing
What the project may include
<p style=”text-align: center;”>• Review of BOMs, drawings, files, and versions.
• Analysis of assembly, accessibility, and maintainability.
• Identification of critical components and alternatives.
• Definition of instructions, tooling, and control points.
• Preparation of prototypes and pre-production runs.
• Testing strategy and acceptance criteria.</p>
A Process Ready for Continuous Manufacturing
Industrialization reduces issues, rework, and variability.
The goal is to ensure that procurement, assembly, inspection, and testing are fully defined before increasing volume, thereby safeguarding quality, costs, and lead times.
Production Documentation
Organizing bills of materials (BOMs), drawings, versions, instructions, and criteria to ensure the manufacturing team has access to consistent information.
Supply and Alternatives
Reviewing availability, obsolescence, lead times, and potential equivalents to mitigate risks related to critical components.
Process and Testing
Defining the assembly sequence, tooling, verification steps, functional testing, and the records required for repeatable production.
How We Work
1. Review of the prototype and available documentation.
2. Analysis of manufacturability and supply risks.
3. Proposal for the production process, tooling, and quality controls.
4. Manufacturing of initial units or a pre-production run.
5. Documentation adjustments following validation.
6. Full-scale production launch and continuous improvement.
Common Applications
• Startups with a functional prototype.
• Manufacturers that handle design in-house but outsource production.
• Products requiring a change of supplier.
• Products experiencing assembly or repeatability issues.
• Redesigns due to component obsolescence.
• Products transitioning from small-batch runs to recurring production.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is it the right time to industrialize a product?
When the prototype demonstrates the intended function, but the documentation, processes, quality controls, procurement strategy, or testing protocols required for repeatable manufacturing are not yet in place.
Can you work with the client’s engineering team?
Yes. We collaborate with your team to transition the design into production, while fully respecting your intellectual property and technical decisions.
Does industrialization include a pre-production run?
It can.
A pre-production run allows for the validation of materials, production times, assembly procedures, tooling, and testing criteria before starting full-scale, recurring production.
Can you assist with obsolete or hard-to-source components?
We can analyze availability and propose alternatives for the client to evaluate and approve before they are incorporated into the official documentation.
Do you want to prepare your electronic product for mass production?
We analyze your documentation and propose a manufacturing process tailored to prototypes, pre-production runs, or recurring production runs.
