Electronics Manufacturing by Industry
Kodiak builds for OEMs across industries like these, with quality requirements matched to each program.
-
Industrial Controls
Control boards, motor control units, and instrumentation for equipment that runs for years in a cabinet and can’t afford a field failure.
Case study
An industrial OEM with poor first-pass yields and a backlog of failing boards adopted Kodiak’s flying probe and electrical verification process. It reached a 99.9% first-pass yield and freed engineering time that had gone to debugging.
-
RF and Wireless
Wireless and communications hardware, assembled repeatably so RF performance holds from board to board.
Case study
A Fortune 500 communications OEM growing 25% a year had outgrown two smaller manufacturers. Kodiak delivered its product two months after the first purchase order and has supported the program since 2019.
-
Energy and Power
Energy management, power conversion, and battery system boards, including heavy copper built for high current.
Case study
An OEM building controls for the energy market lost its contract manufacturer to a shutdown. Kodiak bought the inventory, was delivering globally within a month, and won a three-year contract.
-
Aerospace and Defense
Boards and assemblies for regulated programs, built and handled domestically under Kodiak’s ITAR registration, with manufacturing data kept on Kodiak’s on-site encrypted servers.
Case study
An OEM moved its builds from overseas to Kodiak for better quality and flexibility. In some cases, Kodiak also came in below the overseas suppliers on cost.
-
IoT Devices
Connected sensors, trackers, and gateways, built at volumes that can scale up or down between orders.
Case study
An asset tracking OEM won a contract with a major home improvement retailer. Kodiak delivered within six weeks. Over a ten-year partnership, the customer tripled its business.
-
Embedded Computing
Single-board computers and microcontroller-based assemblies, with box build, functional testing, and firmware loading on the same floor.
Case study
An OEM facing demand changes and supply chain issues built an inventory plan with Kodiak: distributor-bonded materials and safety stock on site. Production grew more consistent with minimal added inventory exposure.
-
LED Lighting
LED boards for roadway, parking, and commercial lighting fixtures that run for years between service visits.
Case study
An LED lighting OEM outgrew its manufacturer after winning new contracts. Kodiak engineered custom pick-and-place nozzles for its assemblies and has supported years of production growth.
-
Security and Access Control
Access control and first-responder alerting hardware that has to work every time it’s called on.
Case study
An emergency notification OEM’s manufacturer could not keep up with its production schedule. Kodiak delivered the first order on time, earned three follow-up purchase orders, and helped the customer hit its growth targets.
-
Oil and Gas
Drilling, refinery, and pipeline electronics, built for remote sites far from the nearest technician.
Case study
An oil and gas OEM growing 30% a year was building inconsistently across three manufacturers. Kodiak took over two programs and has supported them for more than 15 years.
