Final Assembly, Testing & Packaging (FATP) Services

What Is Final Assembly, Testing and Packaging?

FATP brings together the key activities required to move an electronic product from assembled components to a finished, shipment-ready product. Following PCB assembly, the product moves through final assembly, testing and packaging.

At OEL, the broader manufacturing process includes PCB assembly using Surface Mount Technology (SMT). Imported and in-house manufactured parts are then assembled to create the finished goods.

Skilled professionals are involved throughout the process to maintain attention to assembly requirements and product quality.

OEL's FATP Manufacturing Process

OEL's manufacturing workflow connects PCB assembly with the final assembly, testing and packaging stages required to prepare the finished product.

1. 01

   PCB Assembly and Preparation

   Before final product assembly, the PCB and required electronic components are assembled to form the electronic foundation of the finished product. OEL uses SMT technology for PCB assembly and brings together the parts required for the subsequent assembly stages.

   Depending on the product and assembly requirements, automated manufacturing processes and skilled personnel work together to complete the required assembly stages.

2. 02

   Final Product Assembly

   Once the required PCB assembly and components are ready, they are assembled to create the finished electronic product. This stage brings together the manufactured parts and assemblies into their intended product configuration.

   OEL's team of skilled professionals carries out the assembly process with attention to the required manufacturing and quality standards.

3. 03

   Testing and Software Flashing

   Testing is an important stage of the FATP process. After assembly, the finished devices pass through testing to verify that the assembled goods meet the applicable requirements.

   Where required, customer software is also flashed onto the devices as part of the testing and product preparation process.

4. 04

   Final Packaging

   After the required assembly and testing stages are completed, the finished products move through the packaging stage. Packaging prepares the completed goods for handling, shipment and delivery.

Box Build Assembly

Box build assembly brings the different electronic and manufactured parts together to create the completed product. It forms an important part of final product assembly, connecting the PCB assembly and other required components into a finished unit.

For products requiring final assembly after PCB assembly, FATP provides a structured process for moving from component assembly through testing and final packaging.

Testing and Quality at Every Stage

Quality checks are an important part of OEL's manufacturing approach. Testing takes place after assembly to ensure that the finished goods meet the required standards before they move towards final packaging.

Combining manufacturing processes with skilled personnel allows OEL to maintain attention to the product throughout assembly and testing, rather than treating final packaging as a separate activity.

FATP as Part of Electronics Manufacturing

FATP connects the earlier stages of electronics manufacturing with the finished product. PCB assembly provides the electronic foundation, while final assembly, testing and packaging complete the product preparation process.

OEL's FATP capabilities therefore complement its broader electronics manufacturing services, providing a connected manufacturing process from PCB assembly through finished product preparation.

FATP Infrastructure

FATP requires an organised manufacturing environment where assembly, testing and packaging activities can be carried out as part of the production workflow. OEL maintains dedicated FATP infrastructure to support these activities.
