High Volume Manufacturing Experience

Wireless Sensors

High Volume

We were presented a short-term, wireless design opportunity. SCT's ability to deliver new designs and prototype samples on tight timelines grew this relationship into an 18-month, multi-project partnership.

The ability to ramp projects up and down quickly with external resources provided our customer with the ability to explore new market opportunities without requiring permanent staff. Internal design resources were able to focus on the customer's core IP. However, as revenues increased, permanent staff was brought on board to replace SCT designers. SCT was able to transition the design to minimize business interruption.
