Outsourcing product design to electronic manufacturing services (EMS)

In an effort to save time and fixed costs, many OEMs are transitioning the product design and development duties from in-house design teams to outsourced electronic component manufacturers. VCC has extensive in-house design capabilities, and can often take a product from concept through to prototyping, testing and even producing smaller runs of indication solutions onsite. 

We individually modify our standard components in accordance with our customers’ needs. Depending on the environmental requirements, regulations, configuration, or design specifications, we customize our standard components in close collaboration with our customers. Customization of the front design, acoustics, haptics, and marking is all included. The same is true with technical customization.

For example, we created a custom assembly for innovative movie theater seats that empower customers to order food and drink without missing a minute of the action. VCC’s sub-assemblies and in-house design services can streamline the process, adding connectors directly to the assemblies during our production to save on shipping, timelines and overall costs.

Looking Back And Moving Ahead

These are just a few of the trends that will shape 2019 and beyond. As we look ahead, we must take a moment to look back at how we helped our customers thrive in 2018. Of course, we didn’t do it alone. 

EDS was the perfect platform for our team to network with other leaders in the space, but also thank the partners who helped us thrive in the previous year. In doing so, we recognized our top performers of 2018:

As VCC continues to provide products on pace with — or ahead of — trends in electronic components, we’ll maintain relationships with partners that share our vision, passion and commitment to customers.
