Welcome to Our PCBA Workshop
Every PCB assembly that ships from Superb Automation passes through a facility purpose-built for electronics manufacturing. This is not a general-purpose factory retrofitted for electronics — it's a dedicated PCBA workshop with ESD flooring, temperature and humidity control, and a linear production flow designed to move boards from bare PCB to finished assembly with maximum efficiency and minimum handling.
In this virtual tour, we walk through each zone of the workshop: material receiving, SMT production, through-hole assembly, quality control laboratory, conformal coating, and final packaging. Whether you're evaluating us as a manufacturing partner or preparing for an on-site audit, this tour gives you a clear picture of where your boards are made and how.

Workshop Layout — Linear Production Flow
The workshop is organized as a linear flow, with each process zone feeding directly into the next. This minimizes transport distance, reduces handling damage risk, and makes it easy to track a board's progress through every stage.
Material In → [Receiving & IQC] → [SMT Line] → [Through-Hole] → [QC Lab] → [Coating] → [Final Inspection] → [Packaging] → Ship ↑ ↑ [Component Store] [Rework Station]

What You'll See on an In-Person Visit
If you visit our workshop in person, here's what to expect:
ESD protocol at entry: All visitors don ESD coats, heel grounders, and wrist straps at the gowning area before entering the production floor. A personnel resistance tester at each entry gate verifies grounding before the door unlocks.
Temperature and humidity displays: Digital monitors at each zone display real-time environmental readings. If temperature or humidity drift outside specification, production is paused until conditions are restored.
Component traceability: Every reel of components has a unique barcode scanned at receiving and at the feeder loading station. At any point in production, we can trace which reel a specific component came from.
Digital traveler: Each production batch carries a digital traveler — a tablet-based system that displays the BOM, assembly drawings, special instructions, and QC checkpoints. Operators sign off each step electronically.
Real-time production monitoring: Large screens in the production area display live throughput, first-pass yield, and any stations that are flagged for attention.

Certifications & Compliance (See TAB4 for Details)
Our workshop operates in compliance with industry standards. While some certifications are in progress, our processes are designed to meet:
IPC-A-610 Class 2 / Class 3 — solder joint acceptance criteria
IPC J-STD-001 — soldering process requirements
ESD S20.20 — electrostatic discharge protection
RoHS / REACH — environmental compliance for all materials
See our Quality Standards page for detailed documentation of each standard.
