In the age of digitisation and automation, the ability to provide integrated and complete solutions has become a fundamental requirement for companies operating in the electronics and mechatronics industry. Elemaster, thanks to its experience and innovation, stands out for its advanced integration (Integration) and production capabilities of complete turnkey systems (Box Build Capabilities). These skills enable it to guarantee quality, efficiency and sustainability, covering the entire production process, from the circuit board to the finished device.
Integration Capability
The unique integration capability allows us to respond effectively to the most complex Customer requirements. By completely managing a project from start to finish, including design, prototyping, production, testing and distribution, Elemaster stands out for its flexibility and expertise. Thanks to the collaboration of highly qualified engineers with multiple competences, it is possible to take over projects developed by third parties that require either the production part or the realisation of the entire design, guaranteeing optimal solutions, reducing development time and improving the overall quality of the product.
Two main types of approach are adopted:
- “Bill to Print”: the Customer provides all the necessary documentation and exactly what has already been designed is replicated, ideal for established projects that require precision and fidelity to the original design.
- “Bill to spec”: the Customer provides only the general assembly specifications and the entire design is developed. This methodology allows the electronics to be integrated into enclosures of various sizes and shapes, adapting to different design requirements, offering a high degree of customisation and innovation, including product certification at its own in-house laboratory
These services are managed through all the Group’s locations, with a focus on proximity to the railway customer. Integration capabilities are developed at strategic sites such as Romania, China and the United States, ensuring efficient global coverage and improving logistical efficiency.
Box Build Capabilities
Elemaster stands out in the industrial landscape due to its advanced complete systems manufacturing capability, known as Box Build Capabilities. This expertise allows Elemaster to offer not only the production of electronic boards, but also finished, ready-to-use products. Operations include assembling all components, integrating complex systems (hw/sw), performing rigorous functional testing and delivering the finished product to the customer, providing turnkey solutions of the highest quality. The thorough functional testing cycle includes checks for functionality, reliability and endurance, ensuring that the final products are ready to face real operational challenges.
By managing complex projects that require a wide range of technical expertise, the integration of different technologies and components into a single system enables tailor-made solutions that meet each Customer’s specific needs. This approach is crucial in sectors with high technological complexity, such as rail, medical, industrial and telecommunications, where precision and reliability are essential.
Component Storage, Obsolescence Management and Future Supply
The after-sales service is designed to provide all-round support, offering maintenance and replacement solutions ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the systems. Procurement management is supported by an efficient system that constantly monitors stock levels and coordinates component orders to avoid disruptions in availability, allowing Elemaster to respond quickly to Customer needs.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Significant effort is put into obsolescence management, a crucial aspect for sustainability, as in Italy the percentage of e-waste is 32.1% of the total waste produced in a year. Through careful and proactive component management, devices can be kept active and operational for long periods, thus minimising the need for frequent replacements and reducing e-waste.
The in-house production management of complete systems (Box Build Capabilities) enables an unparalleled level of material and processing optimisation. By integrating all stages of the production process, from initial assembly to final product delivery, Elemaster exercises strict control over the resources used, saving materials and reusing parts and components more effectively.
These methods not only optimise the use of resources, but also reduce the ecological footprint of the products, thus demonstrating a real commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, actively contributing to a more sustainable future for the technology sector.
Vision for the Future of the Electronics Industry
The combination of integration and complete systems manufacturing capabilities, combined with an unwavering commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, is a model for the future of the electronics industry. With a focus on innovation and Customer satisfaction, Elemaster will continue to develop advanced solutions that meet the growing needs of the global marketplace, contributing to a more sustainable and technologically advanced world.
