In-House Control Design at Etratech

Manufacturing electronic controls is only the start of our service offering here at Etratech. In our minds, true value lies not in the manufacture of a control or board, but in the design of the perfect board for you. Most electronic control companies offer build-to-print services: you, or someone you hire, does the hard work of designing the board, and they simply follow the instructions (or diagram). There’s no ingenuity, analysis, or care for the customer involved.  At Etratech, we specialize in Design-For-Manufacture. That means that not only we will help you design your board and build it for you from the ground up – we’ll also make sure that it’s designed in the most efficient way possible.

Services like manufacturability analysis, prototyping, and full design assistance come in especially handy when working with clients from industries that don’t normally require electronic controls. Not coincidentally, these are some of our most valued customers – they help us develop as designers and innovators. Since it’s rare that such companies will have any type of engineer on staff, our design specialists play a crucial role in bringing often groundbreaking concepts from the idea stage, through a detailed design and testing process, and on to reality. As one more way in which Etratech keeps your needs as a top priority, in-house design-for-manufacture is an underpinning of our mission.
