Why Choose AET80
Three Scenarios, One Partner
AET80 is the ideal partner for companies developing complex electronic products and needing to transform a prototype into reliable production, without errors or delays.
It is the right choice for those who have previously experienced difficulties with suppliers and are looking for concrete technical support, capable of going beyond simple execution.
Co-Design: From Idea to Project
1.
Do you have an idea to develop?
The integration of mechanics and electronics is no longer an optional choice, but an inseparable technical requirement: electronics are not simply “added” to mechanics, but merge with them to create complex mechatronic products.
The Risks of Separate Sourcing (Mechanics vs. Electronics)
When mechanical and electronic design are divided between two distinct suppliers, systematic critical issues arise related to contact and integration points.
⌵
→ Blame-shifting over Responsibilities
In the event of a malfunction, each supplier tends to blame the other (e.g., mechanics accuse electronic hardware of generating too much heat, while electronics accuse the mechanical structure of poor heat dissipation).
The end customer finds themselves in the middle, acting as an arbiter, without a quick solution.
→ Incompatibility of Dimensions and Layout
Electronic boards (PCBs), connectors, cable routing, and sensors risk not fitting perfectly into the allocated mechanical spaces. Late modifications to dimensions or volumes lead to costly redesigns for both parties.
→ Thermal Dissipation and Vibration Issues
If the mechanical designer does not know the distribution of high-power components in detail, or if the electronics engineer ignores the mechanical stresses on the chassis, the product risks premature failures due to overheating or structural collapse.
→ Time-to-Market Delays
The information flow between two external companies is inevitably slower than within an integrated team. Small design changes require continuous alignment, CAD file exchanges, and revisions that significantly extend development times.
→ Escalation of Interface Costs
The time spent by your technical office coordinating two suppliers, mediating decisions, and verifying file alignment constitutes a hidden but significant cost.
→ Fragmented and Incomplete Testing
Neither supplier has the vision or the tools to test the mechatronic system in its entirety before delivery. The first true “integrated test” often occurs at the customer’s expense and risk during final assembly.
In Summary
A Single Point of Accountability, from Concept to Testing
Entrusting AET80 means transforming a technological integration need into a competitive advantage, eliminating the risks of fragmentation and obtaining a finished, tested, and market-ready mechatronic product.
From Design to Production
2.
Do you have a complete design ready for industrialisation?
Even when a client already has a complete design (both mechanical and electronic), the transition from the prototype/preliminary design phase to series production (industrialisation) represents the most critical moment.
Entrusting AET80 with the industrialisation of a mechatronic product guarantees fundamental strategic and operational advantages.
⌵
→ Integrated Optimisation
AET80 simultaneously analyses both the electronic and mechanical parts. This allows for the identification of assembly criticalities or component availability issues that those who designed the two parts separately might have overlooked.
→ Process Integration
Resolution of any tolerance conflicts, wiring dimensions directly during the process engineering phase, avoiding costly modifications once production has already started.
→ Single Operational Point of Contact
Direct interface for the customer’s purchasing and quality departments, reducing coordination times and bureaucratic complexity.
→ Dedicated Test Benches
AET80 does not just test the board or the mechanical part, but develops functional test benches capable of testing the entire assembled mechatronic system (hardware + firmware + mechanics).
→ Guarantee on the Finished Product
The customer receives a fully validated, tested mechatronic module or product, ready for sale or direct installation on their final line.
→ Component Rationalisation
Thanks to a deep knowledge of the electronics market and mechanical processing, AET80 is able to propose equivalent components or alternative constructive solutions to reduce the overall product cost (Cost Reduction) and prevent problems of obsolescence or unavailability.
→ Smooth Transition to Series Production
AET80 is equipped to manage both the sampling/pre-series phase and the ramp-up towards higher production volumes, minimising transition times (Time-to-Market).
→ Standardisation of Assembly Procedures
Definition of optimised assembly lines and instructions to reduce waste and ensure qualitative repeatability across large batches.
In Summary
From Technical Drawing to Production-Ready Product
When the design already exists, AET80 acts as an accelerator and guarantor of industrialisation, transforming a technical drawing into a finished mechatronic product, engineered for mass production, optimised in cost, and guaranteed in quality through integrated testing.
Re-engineering: Quality and Costs Under Control
3.
If your current supplier is no longer sufficient
Managing a mass production phase requires a highly flexible supply chain. When a main supplier is struggling or no longer meets the customer’s needs (volume scale-up, quality standards, cost sustainability, or adherence to deadlines), transitioning to an alternative becomes an urgent necessity.
AET80 intervenes alongside the client to protect deliveries and eliminate operational risks through tailored solutions.
⌵
→ Risk of Line Stoppage
Rapid assessment, analysis of technical gaps, and immediate removal of bottlenecks.
→ Insufficient Production Capacity
Scouting for qualified partners and multi-sourcing strategies to support ramp-up and avoid dependence on a single supplier.
→ High Quality Rejects
Re-engineering and identification of the ideal production process to ensure the best quality/price ratio.
→ Lead Time Delays
Immediate corrective actions (Safety Stock, Consignment Stock, scheduled orders, and alternative suppliers) to eliminate waiting times.
In Summary
The Partner Who Protects Your Deliveries
Should problems arise with the existing supply chain, AET80 positions itself as a unique strategic partner, capable of providing 360° support to resolve every critical issue and respond promptly to all supply needs.
Why Choose AET80 as a Strategic Partner
Why Choose AET80 as a Strategic Partner
We boast over 40 years of experience in developing mechatronic systems, during which we have personally guided the evolution of a synergy between the two disciplines that has become increasingly close and profound year after year. We overcome these critical issues by offering fully integrated design and production:
SINGLE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY
Single Point of Accountability (Single Point of Accountability)
Total elimination of blame-shifting and cross-disputes. If a problem arises, AET80 takes 100% responsibility, directly undertaking the analysis and resolution.
INTEGRATED DESIGN
Unified and Synergistic Design
We break down barriers between mechanical and electronic engineering. Direct integration from the earliest stages avoids layout errors, dimension criticalities, and accelerates the transition from concept to prototype.
FASTER, LOWER COSTS
Reduced Time-to-Market and Costs
Managing the entire lifecycle with a single point of contact eliminates interface costs and delays caused by coordinating multiple suppliers.
TURNKEY SOLUTION
Expertise in Finished Products (Turnkey)
We offer turnkey mechatronic solutions. We do not supply isolated individual components, but complete modules optimised in both mechanical structure and electronic logic.
COMPREHENSIVE TESTING
Integrated Testing and Validation
Every system is tested and validated as a whole (hardware, software, and mechanics) before delivery, ensuring maximum reliability in the field.
A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT
Simplified Management
Your technical office and purchasing department interface with a single point of contact, streamlining processes and eliminating the need to manage complex and fragmented supply chains.
