Manufacturing

Manufacturing calls for a wide variety of skills. At Tenkay, we are able to provide our clients with an excellent cross section of services.

As an electrical sub-contract manufacturer, our service covers printed circuit board assemblies, cable harness assemblies, panel and box build and automated wire preparation. Coupled with our established component purchasing power within the industry, Tenkay prove time and time again that the UK is still a viable option when it comes to electronic manufacturing.

Medium volume production with a high degree of technicality is controlled by our bespoke Production Management System.

Larger volume, low technical products are produced at our offshore facilities, in Asia.

Ensuring the highest production yield and quality standards of any product is always paramount for any manufacturer. This can sometimes prove to be a lengthy process in some areas of production, but predominantly with P.C.Bs.“

Functional testing will only give our engineers a general idea of the fault; we then have to proceed with more involved diagnostic checks, which as we know can be very labour intensive and not necessarily cost effective to the company.”

“ A part of Tenkay's ethos is to continually look at ways in which to improve our already lean manufacturing process, together with providing our clients with a higher level of quality assurance. As part of this improvement, Tenkay have just taken ownership of the XJRUNNER from XJTAG. This superb piece of testing equipment now gives Tenkay the improved technology to incorporate boundary scan testing as part of our test and inspection procedures for printed circuit boards, where JTAG enabled components have been designed in.”

“ Tenkay are already seeing the benefits of acquiring the XJRUNNER. The flexibility of being able to customise the tests for each JTAG enabled component for interconnecting conformance, speeds up the test and inspection process. This results in giving us better efficiencies and maintaining or improving product yield. The XJTAG system is very easy to install and is extremely user friendly, we're very pleased with the results so far.The JTAG system is only dependant on the hardware involved, so up-dates to firmware can be performed without rewriting the test procedures. This decreases the lead time of product firmware development."
