August Wrap-Up: Achieving AS9100 Certification and Driving Innovation
At Datalink Electronics, August 2025 was a month of milestones. From certification success to new investments in technology, our teams continued to push forward in delivering electronics design and manufacturing services for industries where reliability, safety, and performance matter most.
AS9100 Certification Achieved
The highlight of the month was achieving AS9100 certification – a globally recognised quality management standard for the aerospace and defence industries. This certification not only validates our systems, processes, and culture of quality but also strengthens our position as a trusted partner for aerospace electronics manufacturing.
Investing in Process Improvement: New Selective Soldering System
In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, we have installed a new selective soldering system. This investment enhances process control, improves solder joint consistency, and reduces manual labour in PCB assembly. By adopting advanced soldering technology, we’re ensuring higher repeatability, efficiency, and scalability in our manufacturing operations – benefits that flow directly to our customers.
Quality Culture: FOD Force in Action
Our FOD Force campaign continued to raise awareness across the business, reinforcing that quality is everyone’s responsibility. This initiative has helped embed best practices across engineering, manufacturing, and operations – creating a culture of excellence that goes beyond compliance.
Innovation Across Key Sectors
Alongside certification and process investment, we saw major advances in:
- Medical Technology – developing electronics that enable safe, reliable, and compliant solutions for healthcare.
- Industrial Controls – building robust systems designed to perform in challenging industrial environments.
- Scientific Instrumentation – creating precision-engineered electronics that support research and discovery.
It was inspiring to see ideas move rapidly from concept to prototype, through design validation, and into tested systems.
Collaboration: The Power Behind Progress
Beyond technical expertise, August highlighted the importance of collaboration. From in-house workshops to client meetings, our teams demonstrated that listening, engaging, and co-developing solutions is what sets Datalink apart.
Looking Ahead
As we move into September, we carry the momentum of AS9100 certification, the benefits of our new selective soldering technology, and the progress across multiple sectors. Our focus remains on delivering high-quality electronics design and manufacturing services while strengthening our processes, capabilities, and partnerships.
We’d like to thank our colleagues, customers, and partners for making August a month of achievement. Together, we’re building a stronger future for aerospace, defence, medical, industrial, and scientific industries.
