Brio Technology supports local company through Phase 1 of NPI

October 2005

Brio Technology Ltd. provided Product Engineering and Design For Manufacture (DFM) services to a local British Columbia, Vancouver Island-based Company. Brio delivered fully working prototype units with the completion of Phase 1 of the project in early October 2005 that operated on an accelerated time schedule.  With the support of Canada Brio’s parent company’s Engineering & Design Teams and the tight communications link provided by Brio’s Burnaby-based Technical Team, the client was able to successfully launch their new product at two large international trade events in Thailand and in Hong Kong. The forecasted production builds of this product is up to 1 million units annually, which will be built in the Beijing plant of Brio Technology Ltd.  Brio Technology will commence Phase 2 which will involve software and hardware integration, plastics enclosure design, production tooling, BOM procurement and PCBA manufacture, which will be scheduled to completion by the 1st quarter of year 2006. 

“One of the major aspects of winning such business is that Brio can offer a wide range of services required by North American ODM/OEM’s. For example low cost design services, small prototype builds of 5 pcs to 100 pcs, and enough capacity for manufacturing when the product matures to a production level. Brio has a small designated unit within the manufacturing facility purely for small pre-production runs, this is usually unheard off in low cost Asian manufacturing,” said Canada Brio General Manager – Jack Tan.
