Shyft’s skilled engineers and trained technicians work on electronics based on past and present architectures, including the world’s most advanced computing, networking, storage and I/O — down to the board component level. We have expert technicians available to test, repair and analyze nearly any type of technology, and our unbiased approach ensures accurate, actionable information.

  • Shyft engineers are skilled experts in failure and root cause analysis. First, we determine if the asset can be repaired quickly and efficiently. After deep testing to determine root cause, our unbiased observations and analyses provide invaluable feedback to help you make informed decisions about when it’s time to upgrade or update technology — so you can improve design, reduce costs and provide your customers the highest-quality product.
  • Shyft practices a secure and environmentally friendly scrap process, managing obsolete and excess field repair units (FRUs) of components, including field purges. We deliver NIST- and DoD-compliant data destruction and sanitization services. Each solution is custom-engineered to fit your customer's environment, ensuring all data is eradicated in the most efficient manner possible — all while protecting the future through environmentally responsible practices.
  • Unprecedented market conditions can put a strain on medical device supply chains. Shyft has high-tech integration labs and equipment testing facilities that are ISO 13485 compliant and maintain the level of strict controls unique to the requirements of healthcare technology manufacturing.
