Often have we heard about reverse engineering with mechanical engineering, but how does this deploy in electronics and why? To understand it, let us first understand what is Reverse Engineering?
Reverse Engineering The term ‘reverse engineering’ frequently used in an electronic product environment to replicate a product. The examination of a competitor’s design has become commonplace for companies to use some aspects of the reverse engineering process. Occasionally using reverse engineering techniques, the base will even clone a competitor’s design, extracting a schematic from a Printed Circuit Board being the keen-witted of all the reverse engineering tasks. However, the reality is that there can be a genuine demand for this engineering on your products because some or all of the data package used to create the original product has gone missing/ no longer stored — an all too common problem. Why companies are looking to reverse engineer a PCB? Once a company has started this process, aside from replicating a lost schematic, they then have the choice to vary from the product that has to reproduce. Component obsolescence issues can be one of the reasons behind this. However, new agency standards are needed to adhere or a modified form factor. These can be the general product evolutions both by preference or requirement. But we have to sharpen our self-first on the missing element and data that is causing us to have a reverse engineer. The question that now occurs in our mind is, from where do we start, as the scenarios are many, with missing schematics, bill of materials, and Gerber or PCB assembly data. Here at PCC, we can extract and replace virtually any piece of missing data working from a PCB assembly or any accompanying electronic data, with the help of our dedicated team of engineers, who have complete knowledge and understanding of PCB Reverse Engineering Process. Our engineering expert team follow IPC design specifications and will work on simple to the most complex PCB/PCA projects. PCC’s PCB Reverse Engineering Services assist you with obsolete PCB replacement or repair, change PCB layout, reverse elaborate multilayer cards, recompile microcontroller program and edit source code logic, re-engineer an old PCB design to current standards, using new components, re-engineering for cost reduction/obsolescence Embedded processor/DSP based designs updating, reproduce lost or missing PCB or mechanical manufacturing files, and create new reference designs. With 27+ years of experience, PCC has been serving global clients, providing unique project-based re-engineering and copying of your printed circuit boards (PCBs). Our comprehensive services include PCB Clone (copy of the schematics and BOM), PCB Prototype (produce prototypes for market evaluation or testing) and PCB assembly production (Mass production of PCB or Assembly).
