NEWS RELEASE Airtronics China Production Program
SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 12th, 2005 - Many OEM’s have been looking at the possibility of having their metal fabrication needs sourced in the Far East, most specifically the Chinese mainland. Such a sourcing decision is mainly driven by cost considerations, especially if the project/program has monthly volumes in excess of 2,500 units. An OEM can elect to establish the source in-house, or have a Contract Manufacturer (ie. Solectron, Tyco, Sanmina-SCI, etc.) handle this for them. However, these “China solutions” have several potential drawbacks that need to be overcome.
Most specifically: (1) how do they get local suppliers to support their engineering and prototype needs absent follow-on work; (2) how are the initial production quantities going to be supported, including quick response ECO’s; (3) how will short term volume needs be handled when they are quicker or in-excess of the longer lead time needed for cost effective off-shore production (air freight is usually prohibitive); (4) how will DMR’s/re-work be handled quickly and cost effectively; (5) how will production ECO’s be handled on an expedient basis; (6) delivery pull-in or push-out is difficult, if not impossible.
Without any doubt off-shore China production has substantial cost advantages for the correct projects when, and if, they are handled well. The labor cost is the most significant advantage, and there is no way to beat that locally. In recognition of this reality, and because of the drawbacks listed above, Airtronics has established an offshore sourcing program for a limited number of customers that need foreign cost with local support.
One of our China sources is for “hard-tooling” programs, where the projected volume and life cycle justifies the substantial up-front tooling cost. Simple parts may work at lower volume (ie. less than 5,000/mo.), but, for example, a card cage intensive chassis would unlikely be cost effective below 2,500/mo. due to tooling (such a chassis could easily run in excess of $500,000 for progressive die tooling). Production lead-time, after tooling approval, would run 6-8 weeks for surface shipping, and re-schedules in or out are usually not allowed.
Our other China source is focused on “soft tooling”, and this can work well for projects with volumes in excess of 500/mo. However lead-time (ie. 6-8 weeks) remains an issue that needs to be balanced with local production since re-schedules are not feasible for off shore production.
In summary, the Airtronics “Off-shore Program” is intended to help specific customers and projects take advantage of China cost while sustaining Local support and production.

710 Series Standard Cabinets
Basic Cabinet:19” wide and 76” high 6 fan ceiling moduleBlack frame (default color) 4 CastorsBrass shelf mounts 4 Levelers
Locks:Doors come standard with 2 point latches, but are designed for up to 6 point latches. Select keyed door handles if you wish.
Ceiling:All racks come standard with a 6 fan ceiling module, as well as 12 point power strip. Substitute a screen ceiling if you do not need this cooling system.
Shelves and Rails:The Airtronics cabinets are the result of years of precision sheet metal fabricating, so these cabinets will accurately take any combination of shelves, rails or sliders.
Bigger Cabinets:Designed to run in series, these cabinets can be bolted together in the field for even larger installations, with side panels only on the end units.
Safety:Add an anti-tip kit on the front if you have concerns about heavy top drawer shelves, especially those that pull out. These kits are also advised for earthquake safety, unless back of shelves are fastened to walls.
Depth:Select a 24” or 36” depth model.(All pictures shown are 36” depth)
Doors:Add vented, non-vented, left or right opening front and rear doors.
Sides:For side protection, select a left, right or both side panel kit. Default color is gray.
Airtronics 710 Cabinets are a series of 19” Standard 42u Cabinets that are configurable to meet your specific needs, whether it be for network control rooms, computer rooms, power, testing or equipment rooms as well as many other in house or field equipment protection applications.
Customize Your Cabinets:Prefer a different color? Need a custom logo? Need some other special modification? Airtronics has full paint and metal work facilities. So you can have your cabinets with any custom engineered part or panel, in any color you want, complete with silk-screened logos and other custom touches.
