August Electronics delivers high-reliability electronics for marine environments where failure isn’t an option. We offer technical oversight, quality control, and lifecycle support that low-cost manufacturers simply can’t match.
August Electronics provides full-service marine electronics manufacturing tailored to the unique demands of the maritime industry. From complex PCB assemblies and cable harnesses to complete box builds, we support the full lifecycle of your product with a collaborative, quality-first approach. Whether you’re building for commercial vessels, defense systems, offshore energy, or oceanographic research, our team understands the mission-critical nature of your product and what it takes to get it right the first time.
We specialize in low-to-mid volume, high-complexity builds where reliability is non-negotiable. Our in-house engineering support helps derisk designs before they reach the floor, while our ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-certified quality systems ensure every unit is built to spec. With secure domestic production and flexible long-term support, we’re the marine electronic equipment manufacturer trusted to deliver performance at sea, not just on paper.
OUR CAPABILITIES
We provide in-house conformal coating using automated systems with precision dispensing and UV-curable materials. Our process ensures long-term board-level protection in marine environments with moisture, salt, and corrosion risks.
We assemble cable harnesses, marine-rated connectors, and full box builds. That includes final mechanical integration to ensure a clean, consistent handoff for enclosure sealing.
We execute client-defined test plans, including full functional testing after assembly. Our team ensures your product meets performance requirements before it leaves the floor.
We build with end-use conditions in mind. Our assembly practices support proper sealing by ensuring clean board presentation and mechanical configurations that simplify final enclosure integration.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
We start by aligning on your product’s function, operating conditions, and success metrics. This early collaboration ensures we fully understand the high-stakes marine environment your electronics need to perform in.
You share your design documentation—like Gerbers, ODB++ files, BOMs, test procedures, and mechanical specs. Our team reviews for manufacturability, risk factors, and any compliance considerations tied to your application.
Together, we define volumes, timelines, testing expectations, and any additional needs like long-term support or refurbishment—so we’re aligned on what success looks like from day one.
We provide a detailed estimate covering materials, labor, lead times, and NREs (if applicable), giving you clear visibility into cost and delivery expectations before you commit.
Upon approval, your project is assigned a dedicated manager who leads internal planning, sets communication protocols, and becomes your point of contact from kickoff through delivery.
We execute a low-volume pilot to verify fit, function, and test procedure alignment. This is your chance to validate performance under real-world conditions before scaling up.
Following the pilot, our team offers collaborative DFM suggestions to reduce complexity, streamline assembly, and ensure your build is optimized for consistency and long-term success.
Before moving to production, we review the pilot with you to ensure it meets technical and business objectives. This checkpoint aligns both teams and refines the plan for full-scale execution.
We lock in your timeline, begin sourcing, and schedule the build. You’ll have full visibility into progress, milestones, and supply chain variables along the way.
Your product is built and tested under our ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-certified quality systems, with process documentation and functional testing tailored to your requirements.
We handle enclosure integration, labeling, and packaging to your specifications. Then, we ship to your distribution center, fulfillment partner, or wherever your product needs to go.
Post-launch, we offer flexible services to extend your product’s lifecycle, including repair, refurbishment, and spare unit builds to support field use and long-term demand.
TESTIMONIALS
WHY AUGUST ELECTRONICS
We don’t just build what we’re given; we collaborate to improve it. Our process team provides actionable design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback that helps reduce risk, cut costs, and streamline production before the first board hits the floor.
Every marine electronics build is different. We tailor our process to match your needs, whether that means managing multiple board variants, sourcing niche parts, or holding safety stock to support variable demand over time.
Our ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-certified quality systems give you confidence that your builds meet strict industry standards. We’re also CSA- and UL-recognized, and experienced working with partners like TÜV SÜD, SGS, and Intertek.
All production occurs at our secure Calgary facility, providing full traceability and greater control than offshore alternatives. Choosing North American marine electronics manufacturers helps reduce supply chain risk and supports responsive, long-term partnerships.
Our rigorous testing strategies eliminate risks and ensure your product’s reliability. All marine electronics undergo dielectric testing, functional testing, and AQL inspections to verify safety and functionality.
RESOURCE LIBRARY
CONTACT US
Absolutely. Our manufacturing process includes conformal coating, robust assembly techniques, and environmental considerations that support operation in corrosive, high-vibration, and thermally demanding marine environments.
Yes. As experienced marine electronic equipment manufacturers, we’re ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified, and regularly work with third-party auditors like TÜV SÜD, Intertek, and SGS. Whether you’re building for commercial, defense, or offshore use, we help ensure your marine electronics manufacturing process meets all required traceability and compliance standards.
Many contract manufacturing marine electronics projects involve niche or long-lead components. We identify sourcing risks early, align on alternates or procurement strategies, and tailor our process to support low-volume, high-complexity builds without compromising reliability.
August specializes in low-to-mid volume, high-mix production. Whether a small production run or scaling a complex product, we offer the flexibility and attention to detail that high-volume manufacturers often can’t.
We offer a comprehensive suite of testing, including:
All builds are fully traceable and follow documented quality assurance processes.
Yes! We welcome facility tours and technical engagement. We believe in building partnerships through transparency and trust and are proud to show you how we work.
