Box Build Assembly sourcing for Detroit programs
Full electromechanical assembly, integration, testing, and packaging — from sub-assemblies to finished product.
Our box-build bench takes PCBAs, harnesses, mechanical enclosures, and purchased components and turns them into finished, tested, packaged product. Scope includes electromechanical sub-assembly, full system integration, cable routing and dress, software/firmware loading, functional test development and execution, environmental burn-in, label and serial-number application, custom packaging, and direct fulfillment. We support both kitted (you supply components) and turnkey (we source) models. Volumes range from single-unit engineering builds and 10-unit pilot runs through sustained production of thousands of units monthly. Workmanship to IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 or Class 3. Full traceability — by serial number, by lot, by component date code — is standard on the shops we shortlist for regulated industries. We match each program to a shop with the right mix of electrical, mechanical, and test capability, sized for your volume so you're not paying enterprise overhead on a 50-unit run.
Why Detroit teams source box build through SmartFab
Multiple qualified sources, one RFQ
One box build RFQ from Detroit surfaces real quote comparisons from multiple shops — sized for your volume, your certifications, and your lead time.
Supply chain headache, eliminated
We absorb the sourcing, vetting, and follow-up on every Detroit box build program so your team stops chasing suppliers and starts shipping product.
Better supplier fit
Box build is where electrical, mechanical, and test capability all have to live under one roof — and the right shop depends on which of those dominates. For Detroit programs in autonomous vehicles, that means routing to a shop with the right certifications and volume profile from day one.
Sourcing approach for Detroit box build programs
When we route a box build RFQ for a Detroit customer, we evaluate the project against partners on three axes: certifications (does it need ISO 9001 with ISO 13485 or AS9100 add-ons?), volume (prototype, low-volume, production), and lead time. Detroit's mobility ecosystem — OEM, Tier-1, and AV startups — runs on IATF 16949 production discipline, and our Midwest bench includes both automotive-qualified shops and faster-moving prototype partners for new mobility programs.
For autonomous vehicles programs in Detroit, we typically shortlist 2–3 partners and surface real quote comparisons within 24–48 hours.
