So Much More than RF Shielding: THE SIGSHEILD™ PROCESS

It means you can expect your custom-built, turnkey RF shield delivered in about half the typical lead time you'd expect from other manufacturers.

The traditional approach used to manufacture RF shields is through the use of multiple vendors. RF shields are typically manufactured by a preferred shop and shipped to other vendors for specialized processing for specific needs like dispensing Form-in-Place (FIP) gaskets.

This means that your shield must pass through the hands of multiple vendors, including ship-time between those vendors before the finished product is in your hands.

By contrast, with a vertically integrated manufacturer, like Modus Advanced, Inc., the entire process for building RF shielding parts is housed under a single roof, meaning your shield can move through each stage in the manufacturing process as soon as it is ready, significantly speeding up the process.

It means you reduce your risk for error, and in some cases, reduce your cost to manufacture.

Our process incorporates Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews that ensure your designs will produce the best final manufactured results, using the exact same engineers responsible for building your product.

This step in the process helps our team identify machining and form-in-place gasket issues prior to production. This practice alone has reduced lead times and production costs by 25% on some projects.

It means you end up with a higher-quality final product.

We use only the highest quality of products and the most up-to-date manufacturing practices across our entire vertically integrated manufacturing process.

All of our custom RF shields are built with premium Nolato EMI shielding materials and thermal products and are manufactured locally in our Livermore facility which holds numerous quality certifications.

“The Amazon Effect” is an actual phenomenon disrupting the way all companies respond within the global economy. Vast selection, fast shipping, free returns, and low prices contribute to high customer expectations from every company now that Amazon has set the standard.

What does “The Amazon Effect” mean for Modus® and for you? We love that Amazon is continually raising the bar. Amazon and other customer-centric companies have changed the way modern businesses operate. They’ve modeled a framework on which they consistently execute. They’ve proven targeted investments in people, culture, technology, automation, and equipment can impact results. Adopting best practices from leaders like Amazon has steered Modus Advanced to successfully craft a product realization process that helps us get it right the first time for our customers.

Being a single-source manufacturer capable of converting from prototype to production gives Modus® the agility to meet aggressive deadlines. We start with our audited quick turn manufacturing processes. Having multiple established and quality-tested in-house processes provides the reliable RF shields our customers require faster. When there is a need for speed, vertical integration, versus a multi-sourced supply chain, gives Modus® the ability to perform rapidly.
