Pikkolo Assembly
Assembly (Pikkolo Assembly) provides US-based, low-volume PCB fabrication and assembly services tailored for rapid prototyping. The platform automates part setup and BOM-to-vendor matching, and uses automated optical inspection with 360° scans for quality control. Its vision-based system uses CLIP and YOLO models to auto-configure pick-and-place machines, reducing setup time from over an hour to a few minutes.

Product
Problem
Low-volume PCB prototyping is slowed by manual part setup, tedious BOM-to-vendor matching, and international shipping delays. Traditional assembly services are optimized for high-volume production, making fast iteration for small batches costly and time-consuming.
Solution
Assembly offers US-based PCB fabrication and assembly services designed specifically for low-volume, fast-turnaround prototyping. The platform connects directly with design tools or project files to automatically order in-stock parts as components are placed. A simplified part assignment system matches BOMs to the best in-stock parts across vendors without tedious CSV column mapping. Every assembled board undergoes automated optical inspection with full 360° scans of each component, allowing customers to review solder joints, orientation, and placement from any angle. The service is based in Denver, enabling faster shipping or local pickup without international delays.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hardware engineers, product developers, and startups that need rapid PCB prototyping iterations with low-volume, fast-turnaround assembly services.
Features
- EDA integration that automatically orders in-stock parts as components are placed in design tools
- Automated BOM-to-vendor matching that handles imperfectly formatted or loose BOM sketches without CSV column mapping
- 360° automated optical inspection scans of every assembled board, with interactive component-level review of solder joints, orientation, and placement
- US-based assembly in Denver for faster shipping and local pickup options
- Automated pick-and-place configuration using CLIP-based image classification and YOLO object detection to identify parts on the build plate and generate OpenPnP feeder configurations, reducing setup time from over an hour to a few minutes
