Programme flow

From requirement to controlled pilot

Every OEM or PCBA programme follows the same stages. Sending complete information at the start shortens every one of them.

01

Requirement review

Product category, target market, enclosure, wireless, firmware scope, order quantity and certification needs.

02

Engineering sample

Display module, PCBA, firmware and test fixture aligned and validated on samples.

03

Pilot run

A controlled pilot batch checks process, yield and packing before volume.

04

QC and export

Incoming checks, functional testing, burn-in, packing inspection and destination document review.

05

Volume production

Orders run against the agreed test plan and documentation set.

Quality checkpoints

Where quality is controlled

Quality in electronics is decided at a few points in the process. These are the ones we document for every programme.

Incoming materials

Panels, chips, batteries and enclosures are checked before they reach the line.

SMT process

Process notes record settings for each board so repeat orders build the same way.

Functional test

Fixtures test each board or label for display, wireless and power behaviour.

Burn-in

Burn-in expectations are agreed per product to catch early failures.

Packing inspection

Labelling, quantity and packaging are checked against the order.

Documents

Export documents and datasheets are controlled per destination market.

RFQ checklist

What to send with a manufacturing enquiry

Complete requirements let us qualify the manufacturing path before quoting, which is how we avoid surprises later in the programme.

Product definition

Product type, display size, enclosure and any reference sample or drawing.

Electronics

Schematics and BOM for PCBA work, or the functions you need for an ODM design.

Wireless and firmware

Protocol, frequency band, and who owns and maintains the firmware.

Target market

Countries of sale, which decide certification and export documents.

Quantities

Sample, pilot and annual volumes, and how orders will be split over the year.

Branding and packaging

Private label, neutral datasheets, packaging artwork and labelling rules.

FAQ

Manufacturing questions

Do you take OEM orders from other brands?

Yes, for qualified B2B partners. The base runs ESL OEM and ODM, PCBA assembly and e-paper module programmes alongside the group's own products.

What do you need for a quote?

Product category, target market, enclosure needs, wireless requirements, firmware scope, order quantity and certification expectations.

Do you build to our firmware?

Firmware coordination is part of PCBA and ESL programmes; we agree scope, ownership and test coverage during requirement review.

What is the MOQ?

It depends on the programme and on how much is custom. Our guide to ESL OEM and ODM explains how MOQ and lead time are set.

How do we judge a factory before ordering?

Our article on evaluating electronic shelf label manufacturers lists the SMT, RF, battery, lab and certification checks to make.

Can you supply neutral, unbranded datasheets?

Yes. Neutral datasheets and OEM packaging are part of private-label programmes.
