Right from aerospace, telecommunication, automobile, healthcare, consumer electronics, to defense, several industries now prefer using cable assemblies as compared to standard wiring. These assemblies save space, makes tracking of individual wires easier and allow businesses to provide advanced features in their products. 

But with so many manufacturers now offering these assemblies, it can be difficult to select the best. To help you select, we have created a list of 5 important things that you should surely consider when selecting a manufacturer of the wire harness. 

  • Capabilities

A reliable wire harness manufacturer should be able to produce a wide-range of products and should have advanced equipment to create high-quality products. For instance, Carr Manufacturing Company has computer controlled processes in its facilities to deliver high-quality products in a time-efficient manner. They are flexible when it comes to their manufacturing capacity and are be able to produce prototypes as well as large volume orders. 

  • Custom products

The manufacturer that you select should also be able to offer custom products. They should be able to design as well as extrude raw cables with adding grommets, assemblies, or connectors. Many of you products might require custom assemblies in future, and thus, it is better to select someone with good experience in manufacturing custom solutions. 

  • Industry Knowledge

When looking for a manufacturer of wire harness, it is very important to understand your requirements too. For instance, if it is the first time that you are looking for custom wire harness solution, you should select a manufacturer with extensive experience in manufacturing custom products as they would have the equipment and staff that will easily understand your exact requirements to provide you with accurate solutions. 

  • ISO Certification

ISO (International Standards Organization) stresses on the structure and quality of a company to ensure that the company consistently improves and delivers better products or services to its customers. ISO certified companies are required to pass audits on a regular basis to stay certified. So, try to pick a manufacturer that is ISO certified as the quality of their products would exactly be as per your expectations. 
 
  • Single point supplier

The manufacturer should be your single-point supplier of all your wire harness and cable assembly needs. The manufacturing capabilities should be highly flexible and should be able to grow along with your business. This will eliminate the need for you to look for another manufacturer at a later stage. 

When searching for a manufacturer of custom wire harness make sure that you keep the points mentioned above in mind, as they will allow you to select a manufacturer who perfectly suits your requirements.
