// The workflow

How Pikkolo fits into your PCB assembly workflow.

A process built specifically for low-volume, fast-turnaround prototyping. Iterate quickly — the boring parts are automated.

STEP 01

Prepare your design

Connect your design tools or upload Gerbers, BOM, and X-Y placement files. We validate against our standard spec before you submit.

STEP 02

Simplified part assignment

Our BOM matcher orders from DigiKey, Mouser, and Arrow — or accepts your consigned parts. Every line is reviewed and confirmed.

STEP 03

Snap-in tray prep

Parts are organized into custom snap-in assembly trays for instant, repeatable configuration. Everything prepped and ready.

STEP 04

Boards arrive at Pikkolo

Ship your unpopulated PCBs, or let us fabricate them in the US on weekly panels. Assembly starts the day they land.

STEP 05

Assembly + AOI inspection

Precision thermal profile, automated optical inspection, then a secondary manual pass under high-magnification digital microscopes.

STEP 06

Shipped in 24 hours

Standard, 2-day, overnight, local pickup, or Denver-metro dropoff. Inspection photos land in your dashboard for every board.

// Component sourcing

Your BOM, matched and priced in seconds.

Upload a BOM and we parse every line, suggest exact matches across vendors, and surface live inventory and pricing. No spreadsheet ping-pong.

✓Multi-vendor matching. DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, or your own consignment.
✓Live inventory & lifecycle. Out-of-stock parts flag instantly with alternatives.
✓Datasheet-aware. Confirm the exact part before a single dollar is spent.

High-magnification automated optical inspection of a placed component with detection overlay

aoi_scan // component_verify● PASS

// Quality & inspection

Every board is scanned, then checked by human eyes.

High-resolution cameras verify component orientation, solder bridges, and missing parts against your BOM and CPL files. Then every board gets a secondary manual pass under high-magnification digital microscopes.

✓Automated optical inspection on every assembled board.
✓Secondary microscope inspection for workmanship-standard verification.
✓Inspection photos delivered to your dashboard for every unit.
