Common questions about Serial Number & Traceability Management
Both are common. Free-issue works when you have tight control over BoM; supplier-procured is faster but you pay a margin on parts. Many buyers use a mix.
Most UK box-build assemblers will load firmware, run functional test and electrical safety test as part of the build. Specify your test plan upfront.
Box build is cost-effective from tens of units up to tens of thousands. Below that, in-house assembly often wins; above that, dedicated EMS or offshore options may be more competitive.
