Executive Brief
Aztech Systems is a vertically integrated ODM/OEM power-house specializing in high-growth sectors including IoT, Telecommunications, LED Lighting (Az e-lite), and Automotive electronics. With a 30-year track record and four dedicated R&D centers, they transition complex electronic designs into high-volume production. Their challenge lies in managing the increasing power densities of 5G/IoT devices and the thermal efficiency of high-output LED systems.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 74/100
- Why this Score? Aztech is a high-volume manufacturer of products that suffer from "Thermal Throttling"—specifically their 5G routers, IoT gateways, and high-performance LED luminaires. While they are not currently a "diamond company," their vertical integration (from R&D to PCB assembly) makes them a prime candidate for integrating 6C's PCD heat spreaders and BDD sensing technologies to gain a competitive edge in the "Pro-sumer" and Industrial markets.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| LED Thermal Mgmt | PCD Heat Spreaders | Integrating Poly Crystalline Diamond (PCD) into the Az e-lite high-bay or marine lighting lines to increase LED lifespan by reducing junction temperatures by >20°C. |
| 5G & IoT Hardware | SCD/PCD Substrates | Replacing ceramic or copper-molybdenum heat sinks in high-speed routers and repeaters to eliminate thermal throttling in compact form factors. |
| Healthtech Sensors | BDD Electrodes | Utilizing Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) for high-sensitivity, non-fouling electrochemical sensors in medical or industrial water-quality monitoring devices. |
| R&D Capability | Custom MPCVD Reactor | Equipping one of Aztech's four R&D centers with a 6C MPCVD system to develop proprietary "Diamond-on-Electronics" IP in-house. |
| Marine/Industrial | Diamond Coatings | Direct diamond coating on wear-prone components for Az Marine or construction materials to provide extreme corrosion and abrasion resistance. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As Aztech scales its 5G and high-speed networking portfolio, how are you addressing the 'Thermal Wall' where traditional copper or aluminum heat sinks can no longer dissipate heat fast enough to maintain peak throughput?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help Aztech leapfrog the competition by integrating Diamond—the world's most thermally conductive material—directly into your ODM electronics, enabling smaller footprints and higher power ratings than standard EMS providers can offer."
