Problem / Why Now

Don't Let Delays Derail Your Deployment

AI infrastructure is a deployment race. From land purchase to launch, these builds demand rapid execution across 24–36 months — and engineering teams, procurement leaders, construction program managers, and third-party build teams are all under pressure to keep every phase on schedule.

When teams are ready to move from design validation to deployment, physical hardware sourcing becomes the bottleneck. Traditional Contract Manufacturers are not always set up for NPI, low-volume runs, or the iteration speed these builds demand. This is the agility gap that Fictiv bridges.

Pain Point

Hard to source fast

Low-volume custom hardware is slow to source — from frames and racks to enclosures and cooling components.

PHASE 1

Design Validation

Pain Point

NPI doesn't fit the CM queue

Traditional Contract Manufacturers are not always set up for NPI, bridge production, or program recovery.

PHASE 2: Agility Gap

Where Fictiv bridges the gap

Pain Point

PM overload

Program Managers are stretched thin — juggling multiple vendors, documentation, and complex procurement workflows.

PHASE 3

Full CM Production

Why Fictiv

Built to Keep Deployments Moving

Faster access to critical components

Source custom frames, brackets, enclosures, liquid cooling manifolds, cold plates, and airflow panels faster — with responsive manufacturing support.

Integrated assembly support

Custom machined and sheet metal parts combined with MISUMI standard hardware into fully assembled modules — reducing the number of vendors you manage and the work your team does on-site.

Bridge manufacturing & program recovery

When timelines slip, Fictiv steps in — supporting low-volume, deployment-critical builds and bridging the gap before full Contract Manufacturer engagement.

Simplified supplier coordination

One coordinated path for parts, finishing, documentation, and assembly — so teams spend less time chasing vendors and more time keeping builds on track.

Use Cases

Deployment-critical components

Deployment-critical components

Frames, racks, enclosures, cooling components, and structural parts that sit on the critical path of the build.

Bridge manufacturing & program recovery

Bridge manufacturing & program recovery

Low-volume, NPI, and delayed-build support before full Contract Manufacturer engagement.

Integrated assembly to reduce on-site work

Integrated assembly to reduce on-site work

Custom parts, MISUMI hardware, finishing, and assembly combined into more complete assembled modules.

Case Study

How Fictiv Helped a Global Consumer Electronics Company Validate AI Data Center Hardware 4x Faster

Challenge

Internal fabrication labs were at capacity. Traditional suppliers could not match the pace, volume, or complexity of the build. With competitive pressure in the AI data center market mounting and an aggressive timeline that could not slip, the team needed a partner that could move fast, manage high complexity, and provide deep DFM support.

Solution

Fictiv supported the program end-to-end — DFM, sourcing, program management, custom manufacturing, and MISUMI OTS components — delivering full assemblies in under 2 months when internal capacity was maxed out and traditional suppliers could not meet the timeline.

Full assemblies delivered in <2 months

Supported by thousands of machined and OTS components.

4x faster than traditional suppliers

Accelerated delivery compared to typical vendor timelines.

3 months pulled forward on timeline

On a program that could not slip.
