2.2 Provide Feedback and Suggest Adjustments
- In case of any issues or concerns, we will offer suggestions for optimizing the design or functionality based on your needs and our production capabilities.
- A revised proposal, including cost and timeline estimates, will be provided.
Step 3: Deposit Collection and Verification
3.1 Custom Product Deposit
- Upon agreement on the requirements, we will issue an official quote based on the specifications, material costs, and engineering time.
- A deposit is required from the customer to begin the actual customization work, which is typically a percentage of the total cost.
- Once verified and the deposit received, we will initiate the design and development process.
Step 4: Customization of Hardware and Software
4.1 Start Customization

- Our hardware engineers will modify or design new hardware components, while the software team will adapt or develop firmware/software as per the customer’s requirements.
- Regular updates will be provided to ensure alignment with customer expectations.
4.2 Prototyping and Initial Testing
- After completing the design, we will produce an initial prototype of the customized hardware and software for internal testing.
Step 5: Prototyping and Verification
5.1 Send Customized Boards for Verification
- Once the prototype is ready, we will send the customized boards, including necessary documentation and serial ports for debugging, to the customer for their verification.
- The customer is requested to test the product and provide feedback on its performance and functionality.
- During this phase, any required adjustments or fine-tuning will be carried out based on feedback.
Step 6: Final Approval and Batch Production
6.1 Customer Verification
- After receiving the customized product, the customer will review the hardware and software to ensure it meets all agreed-upon specifications.
- The customer must verify both the hardware functionality and software compatibility, performing necessary tests.
- Any changes or improvements identified during this phase will be implemented.
6.2 Initiate Batch Production
- Upon successful verification by the customer, we will begin batch production based on the finalized design.
- This phase will include full-scale production and quality control to ensure the products meet industry standards and customer specifications.
- The products will undergo rigorous testing to guarantee their performance, durability, and compliance.
Step 7: Delivery and Post-Production Support
7.1 Shipping and Delivery
- After batch production, the customized products will be packaged and shipped to the customer according to the agreed delivery schedule.
- We will provide tracking information and updates on the shipment.
7.2 Post-Production Support
- Our support team will be available to assist with any post-production issues, including installation guidance, troubleshooting, and warranty services.
- Ongoing technical support and future upgrades are available upon request.
