What is your standard OEM/ODM process for developing custom barcode scanners?

Requirement alignment: application scenario, barcode types (1D/2D, QR, PDF417, DotCode), interface (USB HID, RS232, TTL, Bluetooth, 2.4G), housing and branding requirements
Solution & quotation: scan engine selection and hardware architecture proposal
Design & prototyping: ID/MD design, PCB and firmware development; EVT/DVT samples
Pilot run & validation: PVT trial production and full reliability testing
Mass production & delivery: IQC/IPQC/OQC controlled production and shipment

Our OEM/ODM process is designed to help customers develop barcode access control products that meet their project requirements and target markets.

The typical process includes:

1. Requirement analysis: Confirm the application scenario, scanning distance, barcode types, authentication methods, communication interfaces, and installation environment.

2. Technical evaluation: Evaluate hardware compatibility, software integration, firmware requirements, and customization feasibility.

3. Quotation and project confirmation: Confirm specifications, target quantity, estimated costs, delivery schedule, and commercial terms.

4. Prototype development: Provide samples or customized prototypes for functional evaluation, where applicable.

5. Testing and approval: Verify scanning performance, communication stability, installation compatibility, and other agreed requirements.

6. Mass production: Manufacture products according to the approved specifications and quality requirements.

7. Final inspection and shipment: Complete the agreed inspections, packaging, documentation, and delivery arrangements.

The actual development timeline depends on the complexity of the customization and the availability of components.
