Frequently Asked Questions
We provide expert, on-demand support for all aspects of wire bonding processes, including troubleshooting, material selection, design, process optimization, failure analysis, and bonding program setup. Our consultants can quickly step in when your in-house experts are unavailable or when you need extra help with a critical project or issue.
This depends very much on our current workload. On-site deployments within 24-48 hours are rarely feasible - they usually require important preparation that takes a few days. Remote support can usually be provided on the same day.
You may need short-term consulting assistance when your in-house experts are unavailable due to illness, vacation or workload overload, or when you're faced with an unexpected technical problem or field failure. In addition, new projects, equipment upgrades or customer complaints may require specialised expertise that isn't readily available in-house.
We serve a wide range of industries including semiconductor manufacturing, automotive electronics, aerospace, medical devices, telecommunications and consumer electronics. Any industry using wire bonding technology can benefit from our expertise in optimising processes, solving problems and improving performance.
We can adapt to the specific timing, scope and objectives of your project, whether you need assistance for a few days, a week or on a project-by-project basis. We're here to provide exactly the support you need, when you need it, with no long-term commitments.
Before we begin a consulting engagement, we take the time to understand your current processes, goals and challenges. We work closely with your team to ensure that our recommendations fit seamlessly into your existing workflows, minimising disruption and maximising efficiency.

They bring years of hands-on experience and have successfully worked with companies in a variety of industries to improve bonding processes and solve technical challenges.
We take confidentiality and privacy very seriously. All findings, reports and client information are kept secure, and we can sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) prior to any analysis to ensure that your intellectual property and sensitive data is protected throughout the analysis process.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the consulting, the type of data and process analysis required, and whether on-site visits are necessary. After an initial consultation, we provide a quote for the first hours of consulting, which is typically less than €5,000. After completing this first step, we will be better prepared to provide a quote for subsequent consulting activities. In every quote, we ensure transparency and a clear understanding of the services you'll receive.
To get started, contact our team with details about the situation you're facing. We’ll assess your situation, recommend the appropriate level of support, and schedule a consultation or on-site visit. From there, we’ll develop a customized plan to help you achieve your wire bonding objectives. This initial contact is free of charge and often includes some useful tips for immediate implementation and problem solving.
