Electronic Reverse Engineering
We support the unsupported.
ENA Electronics extends the life of your critical manufacturing equipment. Our electronic reverse engineering services protect your expensive equipment and declining or obsolete OEM support. Our team of experienced and innovative engineers can extend the life and value of your legacy systems. ENA offers reverse engineering for printed circuit boards and hardware, and can develop product enhancements, with value added features; while adding new capabilities to your existing systems.
What is Reverse Engineering?
Supporting the Unsupported
It is the process of disassembling and analyzing a physical product for the purpose of generating documentation and determining how it was designed and how it operates. Often the documentation even allows a customer to improve their product to surpass competitors.
Reverse Engineering of PCB’s
Reverse Engineering of PCB’s ( Printed Circuit Boards) is a process by which we replicate the function and specification of an original printed circuit board.
The Most Common Uses of Reverse Engineering
1. Legacy Parts Replacement
One of the most common electronic reverse engineering applications is legacy parts replacement, which involves examining and reproducing select PCB of larger machines to keep them in operation.
2. PCB Service or Repair
If a legacy part or a component the OEM no longer supports needs repair or service, it’s useful to have an understanding of how the product works.
3. Failure Analysis
Electronic reverse engineering techniques can play a valuable role in failure analysis. If a machine fails, you may need to take it apart or examine design files to determine why. Once you have this information, you know how to fix or improve the product so that it functions properly again.
4. PCB Improvement
Reverse engineering of electronic hardware is also used for PCB improvement. You might need to alter a component after conducting a failure analysis, or a particular might just be due for an upgrade. If no replacement or alternative part is available on the market, you could have the part reverse engineered to create a copy of the original design. From there, using our printed circuit board reverse engineering capabilities, you could modify the design for improved performance.
5. Diagnostics and Problem-Solving
Reverse engineering can also be used for diagnostics and problem-solving in a sequence of industrial processes. In a factory setting, the flow of operations can sometimes slow due to a faulty or underperforming function. When a manufacturing system consists of numerous machines and components, it can be difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem. Through electronic reverse engineering, you can determine how everything works as one and use that knowledge to identify where things can and do go wrong.
What Can We Offer You?
Reverse Engineering Services
ENA Electronics is number one for electronic reverse engineering in Canada. We are located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada with over 30 years of engineering experience. We specialize in Reverse Engineering of Electronic Hardware. We can help you by reverse engineering and remanufacturing obsolete and unsupported electronic circuit boards and card assemblies.
Electronic hardware reverse engineering is the process of determining how an item was designed + how it operates in order to reproduce it from the printed circuit board to the schematic.
We can not only repair your PCB but we can also copy or clone your printed circuit board with our reverse engineering services (assuming it is no longer supported by the OEM) we can even upgrade your hardware — while making sure that the replacement unit is identical in terms of form, fit, and function.
Integrity and quality of work is paramount to ENA’s company values. Before we begin any electronic reverse engineering project- we investigate and evaluate any project proposals to ensure no intellectual property rights are breached.
