Model and configuration
Name the model or category, deployment country and configuration fields that matter to the task. Separate required options from preferences.
OEM / ODM PROJECT DISCUSSION
Discuss OEM/ODM Hardware for Your AIDC Project.
Start with the model or hardware category you are considering. Share the configuration, branding, accessory and documentation requests your project needs so AIDC GO can discuss the applicable scope and next questions with your team.

01
STARTING POINT
When a standard direction needs a project conversation.
Start by comparing the existing hardware categories. If a listed direction leaves a project requirement unresolved, identify the requested change and why it matters. A focused request is easier to assess than a general request for a customised device.
Branding and accessories
Describe the proposed logo placement, identification labels, packaging or accessory arrangement. Include artwork or part references as requirements to discuss.
Project documentation
List the model-specific documents and revision details your team needs, including any target-market requirements. Ask which materials apply to the proposed configuration.
02
DECISION LAYERS
Clarify the layers that shape the hardware direction.
Use these four inputs to explain the requested scope. Availability and any applicable commercial terms need confirmation for the selected model and project.
- 01APPLICATION / WORKFLOW→
What must the operating model support?
Provide the user task and representative application screens. Explain which requirement cannot be answered by the existing model information.
- 02DATA CAPTURE / CONNECTIVITY→
What direction should the project evaluate?
Identify the labels or tags, required connections and application interface. Request model-specific confirmation rather than assuming all capture options are available together.
- 03DEVICE / OPERATING CONTEXT→
How will the hardware be handled?
Name the proposed model, accessory part numbers, installation space and handling conditions. Include a drawing or photograph where fit is important.
- 04PROJECT / COMMERCIAL INPUTS→
What needs confirmation before a decision?
Separate required branding and documents from optional requests. Provide destination markets, estimated quantities and decision dates as planning inputs, not agreed terms.
03
DISCUSSION DIRECTION
Two ways to frame an early project discussion.
OEM and ODM are useful starting labels. The actual hardware, configuration and collaboration scope must be clarified for the project.
Begin with a defined hardware direction.
Use this conversation when the project already has a device category or direction in view and needs to bring specific requirements into the evaluation.
- Application and capture task
- Configuration, accessory or interface questions
- Documentation, branding or project conditions to discuss
Begin earlier with the project brief.
Use this conversation when the project first needs to organize its workflow, operating context and decision boundaries before a hardware direction is evaluated.
- Operating model and target user
- Hardware category and validation questions
- Project inputs that still need confirmation
04
PROJECT GATES
Move from a project brief to a sample-led decision.
Keep the request, the model-specific response and the remaining decision together. Agree what needs clarification before committing to an evaluation or wider order.
- 01PROJECT INPUT
Brief
Send the model shortlist and requested changes, with supporting artwork, screens or accessory references.
- 02DIRECTION REVIEW
Evaluate
Compare the existing model information with the must-have requirements and identify unresolved items.
- 03MODEL / SCOPE CHECK
Clarify
Ask which configuration, documents and project terms apply; record the relevant part numbers and revisions.
- 04SAMPLE GATE
Validate
Agree the proposed sample configuration and the observations your team needs before its next decision.
05
RESPONSIBILITY BOUNDARY
A clear brief makes the collaboration useful.
The customer directs its solution environment and project decisions. AIDC GO supports hardware-focused evaluation and alignment around that environment.
Sets the project context
- Application goals, workflow logic and data environment
- Security, acceptance criteria and final deployment decisions
- Requirements, target market and commercial decision inputs
Supports the hardware conversation
- Requirement clarification and hardware-category screening
- Model-dependent configuration and documentation discussion
- Sample coordination and hardware-side project alignment
Hardware configuration and support boundaries are confirmed project by project.
06
SAMPLE & VALIDATION GATE
Use a sample decision to test the project fit.
Define what the proposed sample must help your team assess: physical handling, the requested accessory arrangement, identification or branding details, and relevant documentation. Record the configuration being discussed before drawing conclusions from a sample.

PROJECT REVIEWDECISION RECORD
- 01Task & handling
Check the handling and input requirements that affected the model shortlist.
- 02Application & handoff
Refer model, interface and revision questions to Integration & Support; keep this brief focused on the requested hardware scope.
- 03Documentation & context
Match part numbers, artwork and applicable document revisions to the proposed configuration.
- 04Next project decision
Record which requests have a response and which still require a decision before proceeding.
07
REQUIREMENT INTAKE
Give the project discussion enough context to start.
Send a concise brief through Contact. Attach or describe the relevant references, identify a decision owner and distinguish must-have requirements from preferences.
-
- 01Device type
Which model or hardware category is shortlisted, and which configuration needs clarification?
- 03Data capture needs
Provide representative label or tag details and describe the capture task.
- 01Device type
-
- 02Application context
Include representative screens, the application version and the operator’s work location.
- 04Connectivity
Name required connections, peripherals and interface or document revisions to clarify.
- 02Application context
-
- 05Operating environment
Describe handling, gloves, working conditions and any installation-space constraints.
- 06Target market
List deployment countries and required documents; ask which model-specific evidence is available.
- 05Operating environment
-
- 07Branding / configuration
Describe requested logo placement, labels, packaging or accessories, with artwork and part references where available.
- 08Estimated quantity
Provide estimated sample and rollout quantities separately for discussion; these are not agreed order terms.

-
- 09Target schedule
State your decision milestones and requested timing; confirm feasibility and terms through the project discussion.

PROJECT QUESTIONS
Common questions before an OEM/ODM discussion.
Project conditions and model-dependent information are reviewed once the relevant hardware direction is identified.
Can a team begin with a standard hardware direction?
Yes. A standard direction can be a useful starting point when it is reviewed against the workflow, capture task, operating context and project inputs.
What should a project brief include?
Share the device type, application context, capture needs, connection context, operating environment, target market, project timing and the requirements that still need discussion.
Can branding, interface or configuration requests be discussed?
They can be included as project inputs. Whether anything is applicable is reviewed for the selected direction and project conditions.
Are technical materials the same for every hardware direction?
No. Available materials vary by model and configuration. Applicable documentation is identified after the relevant direction is clarified.
Does an OEM/ODM discussion confirm commercial or certification terms?
No. Scope, project conditions and any relevant commercial or certification questions need to be reviewed for the selected project before a decision is made.
START WITH THE BRIEF
Discuss Your OEM/ODM Requirements.
Send your model shortlist, requested configuration or branding changes, accessory references and required documents. AIDC GO can discuss the relevant model information and questions for the next step.
