Our experts save you time, money, and hassle
From single prototypes to high volume production, FDI can build and deliver your product to you or your end user. We have in-house production capabilities for quick turnaround on prototypes and small volume runs. We also have strong relationships with contract equipment manufacturers for large volume projects, and can coordinate directly with any manufacturer you prefer.
Simplify production
With FDI managing the manufacturing, you can move to the next project. It’s like having your own production department, but only when you need it.
Hassle-free
We manage all of the details concerning component availability, manufacturing schedules, functional test issues and quality. We ensure a smooth manufacturing flow so you can focus on other critical aspects of your product introduction.
Meet the bottom line
Our strong relationships with suppliers and comprehensive experience with the manufacturing and component supply chain gives you a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than if you spent valuable time dealing directly with contract equipment manufacturers.
100% satisfaction
Whether we build your product in house or at one of our CEMs, we monitor production for quality and reliability. We provide a complete customer documentation package that includes full technical drawings, BOMs, schematics, PCB Gerbers, and product specifications.

Quality & Testing
FDI offers a 100% quality guarantee. If a device does not work on arrival, you don’t pay for it.
We believe that high quality production translates into profits for us and our clients. To back up our guarantee, we develop functional testing and inspect devices on–site. We provide these two levels of quality control with no added cost to our clients.
FDI products are REACH and RoHS Compliant
Industry standards are an important part of how FDI measures the quality and safety of our products. We ensure all products are REACH and RoHS Compliant.
- FDI RoHS Product Declaration
- FDI REACH Directive
- FDI Mercury Certificate
- FDI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT)
Design for quality
Our quality control starts at the design stage, where our engineers design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for test (DFT). This design stage is critical for on-line success. When manufacturing products designed by our customers, we verify the designs with DFM and DFT analysis.
Incoming testing
FDI offers to supply automated functional test stations to our customers to correlate incoming product quality.
On-line testing
Before the first unit comes off the line, FDI engineers will design and develop automated functional test systems customized for the unit. The units are inspected for cosmetic, structural, and functional defects. Functional circuit testing (FCT), integrated circuit testing (ICT) and VI testing is fully supported.
Continual analysis
We continually analyze our quality control data and share with our customers to continually improve the quality of each product.
