What services do we offer?

Elsyca’s expertise in process optimization has gained us considerable appreciation from our loyal customer base.

Such projects focus on resolving quality issues, reducing time-to-market, increasing productivity, reducing manufacturing cost and can vary from single, part-specific projects up to corporate-wide excellence programs.

A few examples are listed below:

Quality improvement

• lowering scrap caused by plating-related defects such as rough Cu deposits, Ni treeing, Cr burn, Ni show, contacting issues in POP, etc.;
• assuring correct composition of different metals in alloy plating by defining operational window (current density and flow refreshment) and tuning current density distribution;
• increasing capability to deal with complex designed parts.

Cost reduction

• reducing metal consumption by avoiding overplating;
• saving on energy requirements of continuous surface treatment lines such as reel-to-reel anodizing and electropolishing lines;
• reducing/avoiding long and expensive post-processing operations.

Reducing time-to-market

• design-right-first-time of racks and tooling for electroplating purposes based on the CAD of parts;
• maximizing electroplating rack load while assuring meeting specs.

The combination of Elsyca’s simulation technology and the profound knowledge and expertise from our team of PhDs and engineers have allowed us to meet and exceed customer’s expectations with practical industrial solutions.

What value do we bring?

The value that Elsyca in the end delivers lies clearly in the economic benefits of reaching the aforementioned objectives.

• Reductions of up to 15% metal consumption of already tuned processes can lead to thousands of € additional savings a year.
• Strongly reducing or avoiding altogether mechanical grinding post-treatment operations can simplify existing processes and save weeks in getting products to market.
• Design by simulation of a cathode ECM tool, or the tooling configuration of an electroforming process can save costly and time-intensive trial runs and manual iteration efforts.
• Up to 20% reductions in energy consumption of anodization lines.
• Increase of 10% in line speed of electrograining processes for lithographic plates.
• And many more …

Increasing quality, reducing time-to-market, and lowering manufacturing costs culminate in the end in a stronger competitive position for our customers.
