HFA LAB

Our cleanroom laboratory has been designed to provide a controlled and highly innovative environment, ensuring maximum precision and safety in every process. Equipped to meet our customers' needs, our lab is prepared for specialized productions, such as developing PCBA prototypes, with suitable conditions, including ISO 6/8 cleanrooms and a UV room.

At HFA we offer a comprehensive range of services, from simple to complex projects, with automated printing and assembly of series production quality. We also provide reflow technology using a Vapour Phase oven, PCB prototyping, and 3D object/tool fabrication. Our laboratory is also equipped with dedicated inspection, testing, and analysis equipment, ensuring an ideal space for innovation and excellence in every project.

We support our customers from the beginning of their product’s conception, development, and industrialization. We also provide expertise in technical and environmental feasibility assessments, expert recommendations, and guidance on construction rules to minimize process risks. We are also recognized for our assistance during the implementation and routing phases, including printed circuit board routing, ensuring a smooth and optimized workflow. We also offer our expertise in manufacturing customers’ products, including electronic boards, cables, and assemblies.

From PCB routing to prototype production, our specialized team uses methods and tools to control the quality and development timelines of customers’ products, and ultimately their series cost.

Design for Manufacturability (DMF)

At HFA, we have integrated the concept of Design for Manufacturability (DMF) as a fundamental stage in the development of electronic solutions. This approach allows us to ensure that each product is designed with manufacturability in mind, optimising production processes early on, reducing lead times, and preventing potential failures.

Our focus is on making each product more efficient, reliable, and competitive, while always maintaining the highest standards of precision and innovation:

• Analysis of customer documentation, according to customer requirements

• Framing within legal and regulatory requirements, in the Standards, we are Certified 

• Manufacturing process design

Production Ramp-Up Support

We assist our customers in industrialization volumes efficiently, coordinating your supply chain, and optimizing production line setup. Our expertise ensures a smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing while maintaining quality and efficiency.

Samples Production

We manufacture production samples for customer evaluation and approval, allowing us to validate the design and manufacturing process before high-volume production.

Process Development & Validation

We establish robust and repeatable manufacturing processes tailored to your specific product requirements. This includes conducting process capability studies, validating procedures, and documenting every step to ensure consistency and quality.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

We collaborate closely with our customers, throughout the product development journey. Our expertise in Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis, prototyping, and pilot production runs optimizes the products for manufacturability and reduces time to market.

Rigorous Testing & Quality Assurance

1. Comprehensive Testing

   At HFA we develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including in-circuit testing (ICT), functional testing, and environmental testing, to guarantee product reliability and performance.

2. Advanced Inspection & Quality Control

   We utilize advanced inspection techniques, such as X-ray inspection for internal component analysis, cross-section, micrography, and optical inspection for detailed solder joint evaluation, to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

3. Detailed Reporting

   We generate detailed test reports and certifications, providing customers with documentation of product quality and compliance.
