Simpro offers production experience to our customers for industrialisation and production optimisation.
Simpro specialises in electronics manufacturing services (EMS) for defence applications.
Simpro specialises in electronics manufacturing services (EMS) for defence applications.
We offer our customers a comprehensive end-to-end portfolio, with services ranging from design and development to direct product distribution.
Simpro is experienced in the production of surface mount components. Our range comprises everything from prototypes to large series, and production lines that can handle components measuring up to 90mm x 30mm.
Our two independent assembly lines are optimised for low-to-medium volume production, with the latest installed near the end of 2011. Each has a total theoretical assembly rate (IPC-9850) of 150,000 components an hour.
Simpro also has two automatic optical inspection (AOI) machines, one of which is integrated into the surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly line, while the other is a standalone station. AOI is used to enable correction and detection prior to soldering, as well as the inspection of the soldered printed circuit assembly (PCA). We also use nitrogen when conducting selective and wave soldering, as well as re-flow soldering upon request.
Simpro provides IPC Class 3 production according to:
All our operators are J-STD 001 IPC-A Class 3 certified.
Simpro’s new selective conformal coating system can be used on the PCA, as well as for automatic glue and potting dispensing processes.
The system guarantees a consistently high level of quality and simplified process, as well as improved operator health and safety.
Simpro’s test department offers extensive experience within the area of electrical component competency, including data logging, error detection and environmental stress screening (ESS).
It performs test development, product adjustment / tuning / calibration and enhanced troubleshooting, as well as enhanced instrumentation for radio frequency (RF) testing. It additionally deploys LabView, TestStand and Boundary Scan for the efficient and automated testing of complex products. The testing is purposely automated so that operators can test the product during various production stages, enabling consistency, quicker detection of potential errors, improved reporting, and rapid implementation.
Through collaborative test development with industrialisation and development, our customers can be assured of automated testing ready for the first production batch, increased product knowledge before it enters the production stage, design for testing (DFT) analysis potential with Boundary Scan electronics assistance and high-quality product documentation through test development procedures and AutoCAD drawings. These processes ensure clients of prepared systems that can endure high-mix and low-volume production for a range of locations.
Simpro’s new test system, known as WATS, is a database system that processes test data, reports, data analysis, production statistics and quality monitoring. It also is TestStand and LabVIEW ready, as well as enterprise resource planning (ERP) integrated. Customers can use WATS to detect inconsistencies and bottlenecks, contribute to quality monitoring, view resource usage to include in production planning, provide traceability, and be included in a customer’s programming language for microcomputers (PLM).
Simpro provides environmental stress screening (ESS) for either ongoing production or alongside testing and qualification of new products.
ESS exposes a product to environmental stresses to identify and remove latent defects to ensure higher reliability and a longer service life. The process varies from checking an electronic system before shipment, to the application of major environmental profiles such as extreme temperature and vibration cycles.
Screening advantages are dependent on the manufacturing process maturity, since more mature processes are anticipated to bring about fewer defects. The failure rate of a system population is estimated to be up to four times higher at initial deployment than after a year, meaning if no ESS is carried out, it will take up to one year for the population to reach the assumed steady state observed during the useful life duration.
Simpro offers ESS tests for:
We also supply a full ESS programme, including documentation, test development, and test planning and execution.
Based in Norway, Simpro is a leading EMS manufacturer of hi-tech electronic and electromechanical components for adverse environments. We were first established in 1990 as a start-up business, which has now grown to comprise a team of more than 500.
Simpro supplies services to a range of customers in various industries, including defence, offshore and medical.
Simpro offers production experience to our customers for industrialisation and production optimisation.
Simpro has extensive experience with surface mount components. With state-of-the-art production equipment and highly skilled employees, we are able to undertake the production of just about everything from prototypes to large series.
The Simpro Assembly Department handles everything from hand soldering to final assembly. Simpro has two flexible, manual assembly lines with a total length of 25m for rational.
In addition to core test competence, the Simpro test department has extensive competence within multiple fields.
Simpro offer Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) of equipment that must withstand specific stresses. ESS can be conducted for ongoing production or in connection with the testing and qualification of new products.
With over 25 years of experience, Simpro is a leading Electro Manufacturing Services (EMS) supplier in Norway.
Demand for the user-friendly communication screen KOMP sky-rocketed as a result of the corona pandemic, and the partners are now set to produce more in record time. The company behind this new innovation, No Isolation, has secured a contract worth NOK 20 million with electronics manufacturer Simpro to produce a large quantity.
17 June 2020Simpro AS has announced a merger with Noca AS on 1 March. Our technology, machinery and staff for manufacturing are now gathered at Løkken, Norway. In Trondheim, we have established a technology centre where we will work with partners and customers to prepare products for industrialisation and manufacturing.
25 March 2020Simpro Holding AS, consisting of Simpro AS i Løkken and Noca AS in Trondheim, was acquired by Inission AB.
6 February 2019Simpro has installed a brand new selective line in the company’s manufacturing facility at Løkken. The system in the production line is an Ersa Versaflow 4/55.
1 May 2018After its official debut at the end of last year, there are still many unanswered questions about Russia’s fifth-generation fighter jet, the Sukhoi Su-75.
