Client Network
Get Your Electronics Manufactured By a Team Trusted Since 1997
Put your established design in experienced hands, with proven support for rugged electronics from prototype builds through repeat production.
Contract Manufacturing Process
Take Your Project From Package Review to Finished Electronics
BCS Inc. works from the documentation and requirements established for your build to review the production package, prepare materials, complete the build, and verify finished electronics before release.
Review the Build Package
We review your drawings, BOM, work instructions, revision history, assembly notes, and other production documentation before electronic contract manufacturing begins.
Verify and Kit the Materials
We check supplied components and materials against the BOM, identify missing, incorrect, obsolete, or substituted parts, and organize what’s required into build-ready kits.
Complete the Production Build
We manufacture the electronics according to the approved production package, following the specified assembly requirements, handling practices, and build documentation.
Verify, Document, and Release
We complete required testing and final quality checks, record results and traceability information, address any identified issues, and release finished electronics that meet the established requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electronic contract manufacturing?
Electronic contract manufacturing involves outsourcing the production of electronic products to a specialized manufacturing partner. Depending on the project, services can include component sourcing, assembly, integration, testing, configuration, documentation, and preparation for delivery or deployment.
BCS Inc. provides contract electronic manufacturing services for established products, working from your approved design and production documentation to support builds from prototype through repeat production.
Does BCS Inc. design electronic products?
BCS Inc. is primarily a build-to-print manufacturing partner rather than a new-product design firm. Most customers come to us with an established design, BOM, engineering drawings, and production requirements. For prototype or production-readiness work, our technical team can collaborate with your engineers to clarify requirements, resolve manufacturing questions, and support the build while your team retains responsibility for the product design.
How are electronic products tested during manufacturing?
Testing is based on your product and program requirements. Depending on the build, BCS Inc. can perform continuity and pinout verification, polarity and short/open testing, power-up checks, load and current testing, signal verification, communications testing, functional testing, burn-in testing, and final inspection.
Can BCS Inc. work with customer-supplied components?
Yes. You can provide some or all of the components and materials required for your build. BCS Inc. can receive, track, organize, and incorporate customer-supplied materials into the manufacturing process alongside any components sourced by our team.
Where does BCS Inc. manufacture electronic products?
We manufacture electronic products at our facility in Calgary, Alberta. The facility supports prototype, small-batch, repeat, and larger-volume production for products deployed in Canada and internationally.
Can BCS Inc. manufacture products for shipment outside Canada?
Yes. We can manufacture and prepare electronic products for shipment to destinations outside Canada. Product configuration, accessories, labeling, documentation, packaging, and other deployment requirements can be coordinated based on the needs of the project and destination.
