Re-manufacturing
SMT’s remanufacturing services are designed to accommodate each customer’s unique requirements. The process allows for custom units to be examined, repaired and then sold by customers as refurbished units at a reduced cost to the end user. In addition to providing an opportunity for cost savings, remanufacturing also increases customer satisfaction and helps keep electronic equipment out of landfills. In most cases remanufacturing success comes from careful planning during earlier stages of product development to allow for easier diagnostic and repair procedures. If these factors are not taken into account early during design, the ability to perform remanufacturing work can be limited and/or cost prohibitive.
