[Column] How to Choose a Manufacturer for Printed Circuit Board Production and Assembly

Introducing how to choose a printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly company! ~What are the differences between EMS, OEM, and ODM?~ \ Leave ODM board development to Nippo! /

In recent years, the electric industry has been demanding harsh conditions from the market, such as "high quality, high functionality, and short delivery times," making it necessary to choose manufacturing and assembly manufacturers that fit the company’s needs. Therefore, it is important to find manufacturing and assembly manufacturers that meet the conditions of "high quality, high functionality, and short delivery times." The differences between the production forms of circuit board development—EMS, OEM, and ODM—are as follows: ◆ EMS The contracted company handles everything from design to logistics on behalf of the commissioning company. ◆ OEM The commissioning company conducts product design, while the contracted company only handles manufacturing. ◆ ODM The contracted company conducts product design and manufacturing in consultation with the commissioning company. Even if the concept and design are not finalized, ODM development and manufacturing is recommended because it allows for production and sales with the cooperation of the contracted manufacturer. Nippo offers ODM development (proposal-type ODM) that covers everything from product design to product development.
