From Prototype to Serial Production
Aurightec provides electronics prototyping and industrialization services that ensure a smooth transition from product development to stable serial production. Our experienced New Product Introduction (NPI) team supports projects from the first prototype to full production ramp-up, focusing on efficient processes, reliable quality, and cost-effective manufacturing.
Our capabilities include prototype assembly, pilot builds, pre-series production, process validation, and full industrialization, allowing designs to be tested, improved, and prepared for mass production. In addition, each customer has a dedicated Customer Focus Team and in-house project management with concurrent product development capability.
Using structured approaches such as DfX (Design for Assembly, Test, Supply Chain, etc.), Lean methodology, and industry best practices, we help minimize risks, optimize manufacturability, and shorten time to market.

Turnkey Prototyping and Global Manufacturing
Aurightec can provide stand-alone electronics prototyping and industrialization services or full turnkey solutions, including component sourcing, prototype PCB assembly, manufacturing, and testing. With production sites in Estonia, China, and Malaysia, products can be ramped up quickly and scaled globally while maintaining the same quality standards.
By combining engineering expertise, fast supply chain support, and flexible manufacturing, we provide a controlled and efficient path from concept to mass production.
Prototyping & New Product Introduction — Frequently Asked Questions
What is new product introduction (NPI) in manufacturing?
New product introduction (NPI) is the structured process of taking a developed product design into stable volume manufacturing. It covers prototyping, process design and validation, pilot production, and ramp-up. A dedicated NPI team, like Aurightec’s, manages this transition to catch quality and manufacturability issues before mass production.
What are the stages of the NPI process?
At Aurightec, the NPI process moves through prototype assembly, pilot builds, pre-series production, process validation, and full industrialization with production ramp-up. Each stage verifies the design and the manufacturing process, so serial production starts stable and stays stable.
What is the difference between NPI and NPD?
New product development (NPD) covers designing and engineering the product itself; new product introduction (NPI) covers industrializing that design for manufacturing. At Aurightec both are integrated — development, industrialization, and manufacturing run within one group, enabling concurrent product development.
What is process validation in electronics manufacturing?
Process validation confirms that a manufacturing process consistently produces products meeting their specifications. During industrialization, Aurightec validates assembly, soldering, testing, and inspection processes before releasing them to serial production, reducing ramp-up risks and quality escapes.
What is conformal coating?
Conformal coating is a protective layer applied to assembled PCBs to shield them from moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Aurightec applies conformal coating in-house using automated selective coating and manual coating, complemented by washing and plasma treatment for reliable adhesion.
Can Aurightec handle both prototypes and volume production?
Yes. Prototyping and industrialization are available as stand-alone services or as part of a full turnkey solution with sourcing, manufacturing, and testing. Because production sites in Estonia, China, and Malaysia share the same quality standards, a validated product can be scaled globally without re-industrialization.
