Why Reverse Engineering Matters
Modern industries rely on legacy systems that may no longer have OEM support. When components become obsolete or manufacturers stop producing critical circuit boards, businesses face operational risks. Reverse engineering provides a cost-effective solution, allowing companies to:
- Extend the life of critical equipment by reproducing circuit boards that are no longer available.
- Improve existing designs by updating components, materials, or layouts to enhance durability and performance.
- Ensure system compatibility by creating custom PCBs that integrate seamlessly into existing setups.
- Recover lost schematics for undocumented or proprietary electronic systems.
Hadfield Services Ltd enables businesses to retain control over their electronic infrastructure, ensuring that operations remain efficient and reliable despite supply chain challenges.Ā Our team employs high-precision scanning, schematic reconstruction, and advanced replication techniques to recreate circuit boards with full functionality while maintaining industry compliance.
Hadfiled Services reverse engineering process
We follow a meticulous approach, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of quality and precision:
- Step 1: PCB Analysis & Schematic Extraction ā UsingĀ scanning and circuit tracing techniques.
- Step 2: Bill of Materials (BOM) Reconstruction ā Identifying and sourcing electronic components.
- Step 3: CAD Design & Layout Replication ā Recreating board layouts with exact trace patterns and multi-layer alignment.
- Step 4: Prototyping & Validation ā Manufacturing prototype boards and validating performance.
- Step 5: Production & Integration Support ā Delivering production-ready circuit boards with full documentation.
With our expertise in electronic systems, compliance assurance, and precision engineering, Hadfield Services provides reliable, high-quality reverse engineering solutions that keep industries running efficiently.
PCB Reconstruction & Schematic Recovery
Hadfield Services specialises in high-precision PCB scanning and schematic recovery, allowing businesses to replicate and restore electronic systems without original design files. Using X-ray imaging and CAD modeling, we accurately trace multilayer circuit boards, extract schematics, and recreate Gerber files for manufacturing. Our team also reconstructs Bill of Materials (BOM), ensuring that all componentsāincluding obsolete or discontinued partsāare either sourced or replaced with modern equivalents.
Hardware Replication & Custom Modifications
Beyond simple duplication, we offer optimised redesigns to enhance the efficiency, durability, and functionality of circuit boards. Whether you need a one-to-one PCB replication to replace discontinued hardware or a modified design with improved power consumption and signal integrity, our engineers ensure seamless integration. We also provide firmware and software adaptation, allowing embedded systems to be reprogrammed for new applications while maintaining full compatibility with existing hardware.
Performance Validation & Compliance
Every replicated or re-engineered circuit board undergoes rigorous failure analysis, stress testing, and compliance verification to meet industry standards. We identify weak points, overheating risks, and signal integrity issues, making necessary modifications to improve reliability. Our validation process includes environmental testing for heat, vibration, and EMI shielding, ensuring long-term performance and compliance with ISO, IPC, and regulatory requirements across multiple industries.
