What we build

Three capability areas that are really one discipline: a conductor terminated correctly, assembled into something, and delivered with the record that proves it. Everything below is quoted from your drawing package.

1.0

Wire harness & cable assembly

The core of what Aerotier does. Discrete harnesses and cable assemblies built to your wire list and connector schedule — from a single development loom to a repeat low-volume build under revision control.

Process scope — wire harness & cable assembly
ProcessScope
Wire processing Cut to length, strip, tin and mark. Wire and cable supplied to your specification, or free-issued by you and kitted against the build.
Termination Machine and hand crimp to the contact manufacturer’s specification, using the tooling that contact is qualified with. Solder termination where the drawing calls for it.
Splicing & screening In-line splices, screen terminations and drain wire management, sealed and insulated to the callout on the drawing.
Protection Convoluted and braided sleeving, overbraid, heatshrink and moulded boots, tape and lacing — applied as specified rather than as preferred.
Identification Wire, bundle and connector marking to your part numbering scheme, applied so it is still legible after installation.
Test Continuity and insulation resistance to the wire list, plus crimp pull test to the contact specification. Results recorded against the serial.
2.0

Electromechanical & box build

Where the harness stops being a loose assembly and becomes part of a unit. Panels, enclosures, backplanes and sub-assemblies built, dressed, fastened and checked.

Build

Assembly to drawing

Harness installed into chassis, panel or enclosure; connectors mounted and keyed; components fitted to the assembly drawing and parts list, with fasteners torqued to the value the drawing states and that value recorded.

Dress

Routing & strain relief

Bundles routed to the drawing, clamped and supported so service loops, bend radii and strain relief survive vibration and the first person who opens the box.

Verify

Continuity & function check

Point-to-point verification against the wire list, plus the functional checks the build defines, before anything is closed up and packed.

Close out

Pack, label and document

Packed to protect connectors and sealing faces in transit, labelled to your scheme, and shipped with the completed build record for that serial.

3.0

Kitting & instrumented supply

Interconnect programs are rarely lost on the build. They are lost on a connector with a forty-week lead time, a contact that was superseded, or a kit that went to the bench two pieces short.

Kitting

Bill of material to the bench

Kits picked and verified against the parts list for the revision being built, so a shortage is found in stores rather than halfway through an assembly.

Control

Connector & contact management

Contacts, seals, backshells and tooling tracked as the consumable set they are, including the ones your drawing calls out that nobody stocks.

Record

Per-serial traceability

Material lot, process step, operator and inspection result recorded against the individual unit as it is built — queryable later, not reconstructed later.

On the word “instrumented”

It means the record is produced by the process rather than typed up afterwards. A build record assembled at shipment describes what someone remembers; one captured at each step describes what happened. Only the second survives an audit, and only the second is any use when a field failure needs a root cause.

Send the wire list, connector callouts and quantity. If the drawing is still moving, say so — that changes what we quote, not whether we will.
