How a build works
Six steps from your build package to shipped units. Nothing goes to production until you approve the build plan. Then we build the full batch to industry workmanship standards, and every unit ships with its records.
You sign off before production
-
01
Build package
You send drawings, BOM, firmware and acceptance criteria. Or start from our reference 7-inch platform.
-
02
Review and quote
We review the package for manufacturability and quote with notes. Export status (ITAR, EAR or uncontrolled) is settled before we quote.
-
03
Build plan
We write the plan for your batch: BOM, build steps and acceptance criteria. You review and approve it.
