New business
AI devices with displays — full-device sourcing
Many AI products live or die by their screen. We extend the same agency process from display modules to complete AI devices that contain one — working with the Shenzhen ODM and EMS ecosystem that builds most of the world's AI hardware.
AI voice and smart-display devices
Smart speakers with screens, smart-home control panels and desk assistants: display, SoC, microphone array and acoustic structure sourced together.
AI companion and toy devices
Screen-based companion robots and AI toys. Child-safety certifications (CCC, CE EN 71, FCC) are flagged before the factory is shortlisted.
AI learning and education devices
Learning tablets, dictionary pens and AI study cameras, with eye-protection display specifications checked as standard.
Edge-AI terminals
Industrial vision boxes, AI gateways and inspection terminals with an integrated display; wide-temperature and DIN-rail form factors included.
AI wearables and audio
AI glasses, recording and translation pendants, and smart earbuds with charging-case displays — small-format AMOLED and micro-display sourcing.
AI health devices
Smart health monitors and wellness devices where the screen is the main interface; medical-grade display requirements applied where applicable.
What changes at device level: the bill of materials grows to SoC, PCB, camera, microphone, battery and enclosure, and EMC or safety certification becomes the critical path. We shortlist ODM factories that already build the device category, coordinate the hardware BOM, and keep the same milestone-based process — software and cloud remain on your side.
Add-ons
Value-added services
Optional items, quoted separately and billed at cost. We do not mark up third-party charges unless you ask us to manage the project — then a 10% coordination fee applies.
