Project Spotlight
Proven in the Field
Hetech partnered with BIA5 to manufacture the Tactical Initiated Lighting System (TILS) — a non‑pyrotechnic, wireless lighting system designed for defence and emergency service applications. The system replaces traditional flares with a safer, reusable, remotely triggered solution built for harsh tactical environments.
Hetech delivered a full box‑build manufacturing solution, including:
Our Role
- Component sourcing and supply chain management
- Class 3 PCBA and electronics assembly
- Mechanical hardware integration
- Custom enclosure fitting and finishing
- Full system testing and validation
- Final assembly and packaging for deployment
Outcome
The result was a field‑ready, Military‑Off‑The‑Shelf (MOTS) product meeting strict defence standards. This collaboration strengthened sovereign capability and enabled BIA5 to scale their technology for Australian and international defence partners.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “turnkey product development” mean in electronics?
Turnkey development covers the entire product journey – from concept and electronic design through to prototyping, testing, component sourcing, PCBA manufacturing, enclosure integration and final assembly. It gives you a single partner responsible for delivering a production‑ready product.
What are the benefits of a turnkey approach?
Some benefits of a turnkey approach include
- One point of accountability
- Faster development cycles
- Reduced risk of design‑for‑manufacture issues
- Streamlined supply chain and component sourcing
- Lower overall project cost
- Better quality control across every stage
Can you support both design and manufacturing?
Yes. Hetech manages electronic design, schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware, prototyping, testing, compliance preparation and full‑scale PCBA manufacturing – all under one roof.
What industries typically use turnkey PCBA services?
Mining, defence, industrial automation, medical devices, IoT, energy, transport and any sector requiring reliable, high‑performance electronics.
How early should we involve a turnkey manufacturer?
As early as possible. Early engagement allows design‑for‑manufacture (DFM) and design‑for‑test (DFT) considerations to be built in from day one, reducing rework, cost and time to market.
Do you help with component sourcing and supply chain management?
Yes. Hetech will handle BOM optimisation, sourcing, supplier vetting, inventory management, and alternatives for hard‑to‑find or end‑of‑life components.
What if we already have a design?
You can engage at any stage. Hetech can:
- Review your design for manufacturability
- Update or optimise the design
- Produce prototypes
- Move directly into PCBA production
How do you ensure product quality?
Quality is not just a word; it’s a mantra that we at Hetech live by. We are constantly striving to improve and meet our customer’s expectations. We ensure product quality through rigorous processes such as:
- Automated optical inspection (AOI)
- X‑ray inspection for BGAs
- Functional testing and burn‑in
- IPC‑compliant manufacturing
- Documented quality management systems (AS9100)
View our Quality Policy here.
Can you support harsh‑environment or mission‑critical applications?
Yes. Turnkey PCBA providers can design and manufacture electronics built for extreme temperatures, vibration, dust, moisture and high‑reliability environments such as mining, defence and industrial operations. See some of our projects here.
What is the typical development timeline?
Timelines vary by complexity, but turnkey development often accelerates delivery because design, prototyping, and manufacturing are integrated. Simple products may take weeks; complex systems may take several months. Speak to our team to get an accurate timeline for your project.
Do you assist with compliance and certification?
Yes. This includes EMC considerations, safety standards, documentation and preparing the product for formal testing with accredited labs.
Can you scale from prototype to full production?
Absolutely. Turnkey services are designed to support the entire lifecycle. From one‑off prototypes to high‑volume production runs.
What information do you need to start a project?
We would typically need:
- Product concept or requirements
- Functional specifications
- Any existing designs or prototypes
- Environmental and regulatory requirements
- Expected production volumes
- Budget and timeline expectations
All projects are different so speak to the Hetech team about your project and requirements and we will be able to help.
Do you offer ongoing support after production?
Yes. This includes product updates, firmware revisions, component lifecycle management, repairs and continuous improvement for future production runs.
