Flexible Manufacturing

Flexible Manufacturing LLC (FMi) was started in the fall of 2001 by a technical team specialized in high technology printed circuit board assemblies. The company's initial focus was on developing and offering flexible printed circuit assembly services such as surface mount technology, wire bonding on substrate, and flip chip on substrate. Quickly t... hereafter, the services were expanded to include through-hole printed circuit assembly and electromechanical assembly for box-build products such as high power supplies for the telecom and internet infrastructure. The year 2003 indicated a turning point in FMi's focus. Following a steady flow of specific requests from existing customer for assistance from FMi's rapidly expanding engineering team to help solving problem with their products, the company evolved from an assembly service company, building pilot series for companies as HP, IBM and Hitachi, into a genuine product development company, with a focus on researching, developing and launching new technologically advanced products. This background has lead to an impressive track record of successfully developed and launched electronic and electromechanical products covering a very diverse range of markets and applications. The first product was a new generation payment kiosk, called Payment Island Center (PIC), developed for BP, to handle payments for gasoline purchases, and included aspects of financial transaction processing, security, safety and interfacing with other systems. A large number of FMi's PICs are installed across the United States and they are still being installed, maintained and serviced by FMi's field service group. The knowledge and experience gained by FMi's engineering team during this project spurred the development and introduction of new products that are also related to petroleum sales and convenience store technology. Examples of these products include Point-of-Sale transaction processing components, Automated Teller Machines, financial kiosks offering any imaginable financial ...Read More
