We are already determining the qualifications/vetting process for those specialized assembly houses. > How much of your outsourced work actually requires site visits? Visits should be minimal if the correct partnerships are in place as you suggest. This device ("instrument" in industry parlance) is intended to connect to industrial machinery, it may be difficult for outsourced skills to debug/tweak remotely, meaning visits from key outsourcers to our location are more than likely. To avoid that, we will have to figure out how to do that remotely. Thanks for the info, it's very much appreciated.
