Are you looking for a genuine one-stop-shop for your product design and manufacturing requirements? Or perhaps you need just one element of the product mix? From electronic and mechanical hardware design to full custom Cloud platforms and smartphone Apps, local-build prototypes to high volume Asian production, Lascar brings your ideas to life.
1) Design
Lascar have a broad scope of disciplines encompassed by the Engineering Design and Development team including Electronic, Mechanical, Display and Software Design.
We can offer a huge range of skills from analogue and digital circuits including wired and wireless communications, sensing, monitoring and data logging to schematic and PCB layout design on a variety of substrates including FR4, ceramic and T-Clad. We also have an extensive range of LCD, LED and E-paper display design capabilities including LCD (segmented or dot matrix), LED, TFT, capacitive and resistive touchscreen, chip on glass and chip-on-flex solutions. Not to mention our instrumentation design for multiple communication platforms including USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and GSM. We are experts in software development including embedded firmware across multiple processor platforms, driver displays, smart phone apps, PC software for all Windows platforms and cloud-based storage.
2) Prototype
Prototyping is an invaluable tool in proving a design before a full commitment to tooling is made. A prototype can take many forms, from a simple aesthetic model to a fully functioning unit for product testing.
We offer an extensive range of prototyping options from one off space models to small run PCB and display assemblies. Injection moulding designs can be proved using a variety of rapid prototyping techniques – SLS models for one-offs and PU products made from hand finished masters where quantities are sought for more extensive testing.
3) Sourcing
With offices in the UK, US and Far East, Lascar’s team of purchasing professionals scour the world’s markets to find the best deal on the components used in manufacture. Our large group spend, coupled with established relationships with an extensive network of suppliers allow Lascar to offer considerable cost savings with uninterrupted supply.
Our low costs are coupled with a fully traceable purchasing system, using franchised distributors or directly through component manufacturers. We can hold large component stocks ensuring rapid response and flexible supply chain. Our Manufacturing Resource Planning system and a dedicated team are able to expedite any request, ensuring that customer needs will be met and exceeded.
4) Manufacture
Lascar benefits from electronics manufactu
ring facilities in both the UK and the Far East. We offer small batch or high volume production as well as full test, QA and supply chain solutions. Whether your project requires our design input or is already in production, we can help. Our manufacturing capabilities include Surface Mount & Conventional Electronic Assembly, Chip-On-Board Wire Bonding, Plastic Injection Mould Tooling, Thick Film Hybrids and Laser Trimming.
Our Hong Kong team manages larger volume, lowest cost production using a core group of trusted manufacturing partners. Not only does this give us access to high quality manufactured parts at competitive prices, but gives us on-the-ground, round the clock access to those companies manufacturing on our behalf. Our 2000 square foot Quality Inspection Lab offers a host of capabilities, including Statistical Process Control and analysis, Failure Mode Analysis, writing and improving Quality Control plans and Quality Control documents, visual inspection of workmanship and PCB inspection to IPC 610/600 Class 3.
5) Supply
Lascar’s team has considerable experience of supplying high quality, fully tested products to customers in a timely and convenient manner. Whether you require a Kanban system or prefer to operate on a just-in-time basis we offer the flexibility to ensure you are never left short.
Products can be supplied bulk-packed or packaged ready to ship to the end user. Lascar’s in-house graphic design service can assist in designing and supplying packaging, such as clam-shell, literature and promotional materials that add marketing value to your product.
We’ve been making displays and creating our own range for five decades including colour capacitive, resistive and e-paper. Also, hardware is just one element of the equation. Our IoT services include Cloud, App and Software development.
From the 17th to the 18th of October, Lascar will make its third appearance at EDS at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Visit us to chat about your custom requirements and for demos of our code-free PanelPilot brand and new EasyLog Cloud-based monitoring systems.
