For most Original Equipment Manufacturers, having partner companies to complete some of the production, fabrication, and assembly of complete components of their product is cost and time-saving factor.
By outsourcing electronic components, including the development of custom cable harnesses and cable or wire assemblies, the OEMs have the benefit of specialized services without any need to purchase costly equipment, provide in-house space or the need for higher technicians to complete the job.
Working with the top cable harness manufacturers can go beyond just saving time and money, there are other value-added services that these companies can provide. As with all contracted services, choosing the best and the most experienced company rather than just looking at the bottom line price is always an important step in creating the right partnership on the project.
Design Support
The best cable harness manufacturers aren’t just production focused. They have a solid reputation for working on behalf of their customers. By including design support as part of their service, they can quickly review any plans or models the in-house team has developed. Keep in mind, these same design and engineering services can also be used when upgrading a current design or working on a redesign of any existing electronic component or system.
In some situations, the cable harness manufacturers may be able to recommend different wiring configurations or considerations. These alternatives may provide a lower cost of production, less waste during the production process and also shorter overall production time.
Each of these factors will save money for the OEM. Along with offering additional services such as printed circuit board design and even full electro-mechanical assembly services, these outsourced services can be highly efficient at completing the often tedious and time-consuming aspects of any manufacturing job.
