Celebrating a Major Achievement: Shipping One Million Units and What's Next

PCI is proud to announce the shipment of one million units, a major milestone that underscores our commitment to excellence in electronics manufacturing. This achievement represents years of dedication to quality, reliability, and the trust we have built with our customers across industries.

Behind each unit lies the strength of PCI's electronics manufacturing services (EMS), from PCBA manufacturing to rapid prototyping and full-scale production. Reaching one million units demonstrates our ability to scale operations while maintaining the highest standards of performance and compliance.

More importantly, this achievement is a testament to our long-term collaborations with clients who value precision, consistency, and innovation. It is a celebration of shared success, as well as a signal of PCI's continued commitment to driving the future of electronics manufacturing.

What This Milestone Represents

Shipping one million units is a reflection of more than just production output. It underscores PCI's strength as a trusted electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner. This milestone demonstrates:

  • Scale of Operations
  • PCI has proven our ability to scale from early-stage design validation to full-scale manufacturing. This achievement highlights our flexibility in supporting both low-volume innovation and high-volume global demand, positioning us as a reliable partner across the entire product lifecycle.

  • Consistency in Quality and Delivery
  • Every unit shipped is built to the same rigorous standards of performance, safety, and compliance. PCI's continuous focus on quality control, on-time delivery, and adherence to international certifications ensures that products consistently meet or exceed customer expectations, whether for mission-critical applications or consumer markets.

  • Customer Trust and Appreciation
  • This milestone is also a reflection of the long-term partnerships PCI has built with clients who rely on our expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence. Customer feedback consistently points to PCI's reliability, collaborative approach, and ability to deliver results, reinforcing why clients choose us as their trusted EMS provider.

Behind the Scenes: How PCI Delivers at Scale

Reaching the milestone of one million units shipped is the result of years of investment in people, processes, and technology. PCI's ability to deliver at scale reflects a finely tuned balance of advanced manufacturing, supply chain resilience, engineering innovation, and customer focus.

1. Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Quality Controls

PCI's manufacturing capabilities are built to handle both high-volume production and complex, high-reliability products.

The company's facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art assembly lines, complemented by advanced inspection systems such as automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray testing, and in-circuit testing (ICT). These layers of verification ensure that every device not only meets design intent but also complies with international quality and safety standards.

Additionally, PCI applies zero-defect manufacturing principles, meaning that potential issues are identified and corrected at the earliest possible stage, rather than at the end of production. Principles like the New Product Introduction (NPI) process and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) help ensure that every device is as efficient and cost-effective as possible to manufacture, from the design stage to shipping and distribution.

These approaches reduce scrap, ensure the selection of the best quality components and materials, accelerate timelines, and help PCI guarantee consistency across thousands of units.

Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence

Scaling production to the million-unit milestone requires a resilient and intelligently managed supply chain, a cornerstone of effective EMS providers.v

PCI has built a system that blends analytics tools, global sourcing networks, and long-standing supplier relationships to secure the right components at the right time.

This capability has proven especially critical in recent years, where the electronics industry faced unprecedented challenges such as global semiconductor shortages, extended lead times, and volatile logistics costs. Despite these challenges, PCI's forward-planning models and diversified sourcing strategies enabled it to maintain production schedules with minimal disruption.

At PCI, supply chain resilience is built on a proactive, tech-driven approach. By leveraging platforms like Kinaxis and Silicon Expert, our teams anticipate risks and make fast, data-backed sourcing decisions before challenges arise.

Additionally, as part of our New Product Introduction (NPI) process, we also run a comprehensive supply chain health check at the design stage. This ensures every bill of materials (BOM) is sourcing-ready for volume production and long-term scalability.

By proactively identifying issues like end-of-life (EOL) risks, allocation constraints, and single-source dependencies, PCI ensures continuity of supply for our customers.

In practice, this means clients can commit to product launches and market expansions with confidence, knowing that their supply chain is supported by an electronics manufacturing partner who anticipates challenges rather than simply reacting to them.

3. Engineering Expertise and Ongoing Innovation PCI's success in electronics manufacturing services is anchored in our strong foundation of engineering expertise, spanning IoT devices, telematics systems, PCB design, and rapid prototyping.

More than just a manufacturing partner, PCI functions as an engineering collaborator, working closely with clients to refine concepts, anticipate challenges, and ensure designs are optimised for manufacturability and long-term performance.

For example, PCI has supported clients in integrating optimised antenna designs into telematics control systems, ensuring reliable connectivity even in demanding environments. Similarly, by optimising PCB layouts for ultra-compact IoT devices, PCI has helped companies achieve miniaturisation goals without compromising reliability or compliance.

These engineering-led solutions showcase PCI's ability to combine innovation with practicality, helping clients launch products that stand out in both performance and scalability.

4. Customer-Centric Approach

Beyond technical expertise, PCI's one-million-unit achievement underscores a culture of partnership and a customer-first mindset.

Every engagement is treated as unique, with solutions designed to match the specific requirements of each client and market. This can mean rapid prototyping cycles for companies racing to meet product launch windows, or tailored compliance reporting for global OEMs navigating complex regulatory environments.

Proactive communication is at the heart of this approach. PCI's dedicated account and project management teams provide clear updates, fast decision-making, and transparent issue resolution, ensuring that clients remain confident and informed at every stage of the journey. This level of responsiveness has not only helped customers scale but has also reinforced PCI's reputation as a trusted EMS partner committed to long-term success.

By consistently aligning services to evolving client needs, PCI continues to build relationships rooted in trust, flexibility, and shared growth.
