August - 202019the design can be improved and what materials they need to ensure a successful project," says Vardya. ASC then takes the final design and builds prototypes on a quick-turn basis. Customers can then test and modify it according to their needs, after which the PCBs go can into production. Vardya highlights an instance where a client approached ASC with a 3-layer rigid-flex design. On carefully analyzing it, ASC noticed that they had the flexible layer on the outside of the PCB something that will normally make the board hard to build and can cause massive yield problems. The company recommended the client to go with a 4-layer design instead. Unfortunately, ASC was not the first company that the customer had approached, and their version of the PCB was already in production. Regardless, on understanding the value of ASC's recommendations, the clients chose to handover the project midway. The results were more than optimum. ASC reduced their overall cost by 30 percent and was able to quickly custom-build a fully functional, PCB from scratch.ASC Has Written the Book on the Fundamentals of Printed Circuit Board Technologies"As a company, we are focused on adding value to the customer. A lot of what we do is typically done without payment orders. We leverage our experience to help our clients in every way possible and hope that they see the value of working with us," adds Vardya. ASC has even published a book, Fundamentals of Printed Circuit Board Technologies, which is a comprehensive reference for anyone needing a quick overview of PCB fabrication processes. It is dubbed the. ASC Provides Webinars on Specific PCB TechnologiesAt present, ASC is also conducting webinars focusing on different topics on PCBs, to help clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. With such a value proposition and a highly personal approach to manufacturing PCBs, ASC has been growing at a steady rate of 10 percent Year to year. ASC Now Produces Bookbinder Rigid Flex TechnologyTo further improve its capabilities, the company added new drilling and routing machines and Bookbinders in 2019. At present, they are working on A-SAPTM--an advanced PCB manufacturing technology that will enable them to build finer lines and spaces. "Since inception, our sole focus has been on making our customer's lives easier. We do this by offering them guidance, education, and cost-effective, reliable, high tech solutions," concludes Vardya. Our experience also enables us to do quick-turn prototypes and help our clients, ramp-up to production, seamlessly
