START WITH THE ESSENTIALS

Apply this to your next project

Box build is the integration of electronic assemblies into a more complete product. It can include enclosures, wiring, displays, power supplies, programming, labeling and final test. The scope is defined by the product specification, not by the phrase “box build” alone.

The resources in this topic help you make requirements explicit, compare alternatives and record the assumptions behind a manufacturing decision. Use them alongside your product specifications and the input of the responsible engineering team.

Practical starting points

  • Define the exact finished-product deliverable.
  • Include mechanical and cable documentation.
  • Identify programming and provisioning ownership.
  • Specify product-level acceptance criteria.
