Find answers to common questions about our secure warehousing, climate-controlled environments, MSD handling, and long-term component buffering.
Our storage services provide a highly secure, environmentally controlled warehousing solution for your raw electronic components, bare printed circuit boards, and finished assemblies. We maintain your inventory in optimal conditions until it is ready for manufacturing, assembly, or final distribution.
Electronic components are highly susceptible to degradation from humidity, temperature fluctuations, and static. Most standard office environments lack the strict controls required to prevent oxidation or micro-fractures. Outsourcing to our facility guarantees your parts are protected, fully insured, and instantly accessible to our assembly floor, eliminating transit delays.
Our entire storage facility is an EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area). We utilize conductive grounded flooring, static-dissipative shelving, strictly enforced grounding wrist/heel straps for all personnel, and ESD-shielding packaging (Faraday cages) for all active components to prevent latent or catastrophic static damage.
MSDs are managed in strict compliance with the J-STD-033 standard. Upon arrival, if factory seals are broken, components are placed into specialized ultra-low humidity electronic dry cabinets (maintaining <5% RH) or repackaged in moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant and humidity indicator cards (HIC) to prevent "popcorning" during reflow.
Yes. Our storage environments are monitored 24/7/365. We maintain strict temperature (typically 20°C - 25°C) and relative humidity (40% - 60%) baselines. This prevents solderability degradation, copper oxidation, and the drying out of solder pastes and specialized adhesives.
We utilize an advanced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS). Every reel, tray, and tube is barcoded upon receipt. You gain access to real-time inventory reporting, allowing you to monitor stock levels, set automated reorder points, and track FIFO (First-In, First-Out) or FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) usage.
Yes. For legacy products facing obsolescence, we offer strategic buffer stock storage. We employ specialized techniques like nitrogen-purged vacuum sealing to halt oxidation entirely, ensuring that your critical EOL chips remain perfectly solderable and functional even after years of dormant storage.
Absolutely. In addition to raw components, we provide secure warehousing for your finished, fully packaged retail products. We can hold bulk inventory of completed units and release them to the market based on your scheduled delivery demands.
Yes. Our Silicon Valley facility is highly secure, featuring 24/7 video surveillance, restricted biometric access controls, and dedicated, segregated storage zones for ITAR-registered defense, aerospace, and proprietary medical device components.
Yes, we offer complete order fulfillment services. We can pick, pack, and drop-ship your finished electronic devices directly to your distributors, retail partners, or end-users globally, effectively turning Altest into your all-in-one manufacturing and logistics hub.
