ODM Service — From Concept
to Production

Bring your requirements, specifications or sketches for feasibility review across structure, electronics, firmware, app, tooling and compliance. IP, tooling, exclusivity, cost and deliverables are defined in the project agreement.

What is ODM?

A product that exists nowhere else in the market

ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) is used when a project requires a new product or significant changes to an existing platform. Engineering, tooling, electronics, firmware, app and compliance scope are confirmed after feasibility review.

Tooling ownership, product-design rights, exclusivity and permitted reuse must be defined in the signed contract for the specific project.

Engineering Capabilities

What we can develop from scratch

Mechanical Engineering

Full structural design from concept: shell geometry, internal mechanism, motor integration, sensor placement and assembly.

PCB & Electronics

Custom PCB design, firmware development, sensor integration (weight, infrared, motion, GPS) and connectivity modules (WiFi, BLE, 4G).

App & Firmware Development

iOS and Android app development, cloud backend, OTA update system and user data management — built to your feature specification.

Tooling & Mold Making

Tooling feasibility, supplier arrangement, ownership, amortization and maintenance responsibilities are reviewed and defined per project.

Certification Management

Applicable testing and documentation can be coordinated with qualified third-party laboratories after the exact product configuration and target market are confirmed.

Technical Documentation

Full technical file, BOM (bill of materials), assembly instructions, user manual and test report archive prepared for your records.

ODM Timeline

ODM development stages and schedule factors

1

Discovery

Requirements brief, confidentiality arrangement, product benchmarking and feasibility assessment. Timing is confirmed after the initial scope review.

2

Concept Design

3D modeling, electronics architecture and app wireframes, followed by client review and sign-off. Timing depends on the approved requirements and revision cycle.

3

Prototyping

Prototype and app build, functional testing and refinement. Timing depends on complexity, components and the number of iterations.

4

Certification

Testing and documentation review for the target market. Laboratory scope and timing depend on the final configuration and applicable requirements.

5

Mass Production

Bulk production follows approval of the production sample and applicable compliance plan. The schedule is confirmed by quantity, materials, tooling and customization scope.

Buyer Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does ODM automatically give the buyer full IP ownership?

No universal assumption should be made. Background IP, newly created design rights, tooling ownership, exclusivity and permitted reuse must be defined in the signed agreement for the project.

Is the ODM development timeline guaranteed?

No. Timing depends on requirements, engineering complexity, prototype iterations, component availability, app scope, tooling and testing. Milestones and dependencies should be documented in the project plan.

When should certification requirements be reviewed?

Identify the target markets and configuration during feasibility review. Testing and document scope should be confirmed again after design freeze and before mass production.

What should be approved before production?

Approve the production sample, specification, BOM or controlled configuration, software version, packaging, manuals, applicable documents and written quality criteria.
