ODM / OEM services
From a brief to a branded product on the shelf
Every project is scoped and quoted individually. What follows is how we run one and what we commit to at each gate — the numbers come after we have seen your brief, not before.
Three ways to work with us
OEM — your design, our line
You bring a finished design. We handle DFM, tooling, the production line and the test plan.
- Fastest path if the design is proven
- Manufacturability issues flagged before tooling
- Test plan and export packing defined with you
ODM — our platform, your brand
We design the product around your market, and it ships under your brand.
- Silicon chosen for your cost and certification constraints
- Housing, app and packaging are yours
- Schedule quoted against the brief
JDM — co-developed
A new product built together, with engineering committed on both sides.
- Joint spec and roadmap
- Category exclusivity negotiable
- NRE and IP terms agreed upfront
Engagement
Six disciplines under one roof — take all of them, or only the ones you are missing
Most projects arrive with something already done: a design from an agency, firmware from an in-house team, an app built elsewhere. We pick up exactly where you are and hand back the rest.
- 01
Industrial design
Concept sketches, renders, CMF and the appearance model.
- 02
Mechanical design
3D structure, DFM review, tolerance stack-up, tooling and trial shots.
- 03
Hardware design
Schematic, PCB layout, RF and antenna tuning, power and thermal.
- 04
Embedded software
Drivers, RTOS or Linux, voice and AI pipelines, OTA and factory test firmware.
- 05
App & mini program
iOS and Android apps, and WeChat mini programs for the China market.
- 06
Server side
Device cloud, provisioning, OTA delivery, admin console and open APIs.
Common ways clients split the work
- Turnkey — all six, from sketch to shipped unit
- Hardware + firmware, plugged into your app and cloud
- Your design, our structure, electronics and production
- App and server side for hardware you already ship
- Production engineering and manufacturing only
The process, with the numbers
Durations depend entirely on the product — a BLE sensor and a registered medical device are not the same project. We commit to a schedule after the feasibility step, and we would rather quote a date we can hold than one that wins the enquiry.
- 01
Brief & feasibility
Target market, price band, quantity, certifications. We return a platform recommendation, a cost envelope and the certification path.
- 02
Quotation & agreement
BOM-level quotation, tooling cost, NRE and payment terms. NDA signed before any spec exchange.
- 03
Sample & approval
A working sample from the platform. Rounds of feedback until you sign the golden sample.
- 04
Tooling & certification
Tooling and certification run in parallel. EVT and DVT gates with reports at each.
- 05
Pilot run (PVT)
Small-batch build on the production line to shake out assembly and test coverage.
- 06
Mass production
100% functional test, drop and ageing, packing to your export spec, and shipping documents.
Commercial terms, stated plainly
| MOQ | Set per project — driven by tooling and silicon minimums |
|---|---|
| Sample lead time | Quoted after feasibility; depends on how much is new |
| Tooling | Quoted per project, with the amortisation terms written down |
| Payment | 30% deposit, 70% before shipment. L/C accepted on qualified orders |
| Trade terms | EXW, FOB Shenzhen/Yantian, CIF |
| Warranty | Agreed per project, with the spare-parts allowance written in |
| IP | NDA before spec exchange. Tooling and firmware IP terms fixed in the contract |
| Exclusivity | Category or territory exclusivity negotiable at volume |
Send us the brief.
Target market, quantity, certifications and price band is enough to start. You will get an engineer’s answer, not a brochure. Client projects are under NDA by default and never published.
