Supply Chain Management
RCAL Products
R.A.T.S. (RCAL Assets Tracking System) is a manufacturing solution that offers scheduling, purchasing, shipping, customer management, sales order, work order, quality tracking, and accounting capabilities. From scanning in received inventory to creating individualized barcodes for each unit, rather than by lot, RCAL can at any moment identify the RCAL associate that ‘touched’ your unit, when the unit was at each phase of the manufacturing process, what type of component was placed, the component manufacturer, run-efficiency, run-fallout, and much more. There are several redundant quality processes that ensure that no step in the process is skipped and that they are completed in sequential order.
The R.A.T.S. system is something that we believe sets us apart from other manufacturers in that we have spent over 20 years developing our processes. Because we own the MRP design, we can make quick changes easily and implement new strategies as they are established. Our MRP design has been deemed ‘medical-grade' quality and we have been engaged by other companies to license our system to the electronic manufacturers. All this to say, when you engage RCAL and trust us to build your product we instantly become part of your quality assurance team.

Firmware & Software Development
RCAL Products
RCAL’s firmware and hardware engineering teams bring decades of experience and patented expertise to every project. We offer full-cycle embedded software and hardware design services, including RTOS development, firmware, PCB design, and component integration. Our engineers specialize in building reliable, resource-efficient systems across industries—from medical to industrial—by aligning software and hardware seamlessly. With in-house debugging, prototyping, and DFM support, RCAL ensures your assemblies perform as specified, meet compliance, and are delivered on time.
Mechanical Design & Engineering
RCAL Products
RCAL provides versatile, precision-focused mechanical design and engineering solutions to support a wide range of product development needs. Our team is experienced in designing for various manufacturing processes, including injection molding, die casting, metal casting, CNC turning and milling, stamping, and 2D cutting. We tailor every solution to meet the unique requirements of each project—whether it’s for low-volume prototyping or full-scale production.
Beyond traditional design, we offer advanced simulation services such as static stress analysis, weight-optimized shape design, thermal simulation for electronics cooling, and event-based modeling. These tools help reduce design cycles, improve product performance, and ensure manufacturability from the start.
RCAL’s engineering-first approach emphasizes innovation, cost-efficiency, and speed-to-market—delivering high-performance mechanical solutions that align with your product goals and competitive demands.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly
RCAL Products
RCAL Products offers precision Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly using advanced equipment, including screen printers, high-speed pick and place machines, reflow ovens, and automated optical inspection (AOI). Our SMT lines enable fast, reliable, and scalable PCB production with strict quality control.
As an engineer-owned company, we’ve integrated our proprietary MRP system—RCAL ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM (RATS)—directly into our SMT process. This state-of-the-art system uses barcode scanning to track data down to the component level, enabling real-time defect monitoring and mock recall capabilities for rapid issue isolation and resolution.

Electrical Design & Engineering
RCAL Products
RCAL has over 100 combined years of integrated experience in hardware, software, and product development. We are lead by a core group of degreed engineers in electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering. This is a major differentiator when compared to other contract manufacturers that can only build to print. We provide value in offering DFM (design for manufacturing) and NPI (new product introduction) reviews at no extra charge to our customers. This commitment to highly experienced and technical oversight provides value throughout the design and manufacturing process that results in top quality and reliability.
We work with our clients to deliver innovative, reliable solutions that are proven to reduce development costs, increase productivity and accelerate time-to-market. The RCAL product portfolio includes solutions designed for use in a variety of industries including financial, education, government, entertainment, restaurants, and worship. The RCAL team of engineering professionals helps you design and deliver reliable, cost-efficient, and innovative custom-engineered solutions in a shortened timeframe. We take you through the entire process from concept to production.

About
RCAL Products is a U.S.-based, engineer-owned PCB assembly (PCBA) manufacturer located in Northwest Arkansas. Founded by engineers who prioritize precision, agility, and innovation, RCAL specializes in both high-volume and complex low-to-mid volume builds for industries including Medical, Industrial, Aerospace, Automotive, and Defense.
We’ve steadily grown to over 70 employees across three facilities, including a highly skilled production team and a captive in-house engineering department with over 30 years of combined hardware and software experience. Our engineering-led approach means customers benefit from design insight, DFM/NPI reviews, and technical support from concept to production—accelerating time to market, reducing labor costs, and ensuring consistent, high-quality output.
RCAL offers full turnkey and consignment builds, and our sourcing team focuses on cost efficiency and full traceability. We’re equipped to handle supply chain challenges, providing vetted alternates and redesign assistance when facing hard-to-find or obsolete components. Our engineering and program management teams work side-by-side to keep builds on track and within budget.
Quality is embedded in every step of our process. Central to this is our proprietary RCAL Asset Tracking System (RATS)—a custom MRP platform developed in-house by our engineering team. RATS seamlessly integrates sourcing, production, quality, and shipping operations, providing barcode-based, real-time tracking of each component and assembly.
This system not only ensures full traceability and accountability but also powers our continuous improvement efforts. RATS collects defect data at every inspection point, enabling us to identify root causes, spot trends, and prevent issues before they affect downstream production.
RCAL is proud to be AS9100-certified, meeting the demanding quality and documentation standards of the aerospace and defense sectors.
We were built to help our customers succeed—and our strong customer retention reflects that commitment.
