In the industrial switch field, many manufacturers claim to have self-developed products, but actually few can do it. Some manufacturers outsource hardware, some outsource software, and others may just copy technologies, more outsourcing leads to less controllable quality. This article recommends a manufacturer that handles all aspects of research, design, and production by themselves, helping customers get quality and delivery control.
1. What is true self-developed?
Self-developed means that all core processes of the product are completed by themselves, includes: schematic design, layout design, structural design, embedded software design, cloud software design, hardware testing, software testing, etc.
The value of self-developed reflected in: controllable products, internal processes without waiting, and no need to coordinate external suppliers; clear ownership of responsibility; controllable costs with efficient communication.
2. Recommended manufacturer: Rayin Technology
Rayin Technology is one of the few manufacturers that truly achieves self-developed for Industrial Ethernet Switch, offering a one-stop production service. The company covers industrial switches, industrial PCs, industrial PON, Wi-Fi, and other network access devices, providing customers with comprehensive product solutions. All following processes are self-developed:
· Schematic design: has a team of experienced hardware engineers with over 15 years in the telecommunication industry.
· Layout design: has a team of experienced design engineers, each with over 10 years of experience.
· Structural Design: Industrial-grade product design by structural engineers, over a hundred products designed to meet high standards like IP67.
· Software Development: has software architects, senior embedded software engineers, front-end software engineers (custom web), UI designers and so on.
3.Value of self-developed
· Value 1: Accumulation of Core Technologies. During the self-developed process, numbers of technical patents will be accumulated, forming a technological barrier that is difficult for competitors to imitate. For industrial environments optimized, electromagnetic compatibility design, optimized wide-temperature circuit design, and lightning surge protection technologies are all core competitive advantages of industrial products.
· Value 2: Differentiated Functions. Products are defined entirely based on customer requirements, eliminating to accommodate general solution design. PCBA dimensions can be customized and structural designs can be optimized. By offering software customization, such as, software protocols or web optimization, can create a exclusive competitive capacity.
· Value 3: Technological Iteration. Because of self-developed, the company's products continually upgrade along with chip iterations. This not only satisfies higher application requirements but also eliminates the risk of phasing out older products
· Value 4: Improve Response Speed. When encountering product bugs or customer needs, underlying code and hardware designs can be modified directly. In industrial scenarios, the speed of fixing a critical bug may directly impact customer production safety. Self-developed can shorten the repair cycle from "weekly" to "daily" or even "hourly."
4. Customer Cases
· Case 1: A public telecommunication company required a customized industrial switch PCBA to be integrated into an industrial switch，it is 8-port gigabit industrial switch 2 fiber 8 ethernet. The client provided a requirement document, and the R&D team of Rayin Technology completed the schematic and layout, quickly met customer requirements in the first version.
· Case 2: A client desired to add POE function to their industrial switch，a industrial gigabit switch for factory surveillance. Rayin Technology responded quickly, within a week, the software version was updated for the customer.
5. How to verify whether a company is truly self-developed?
Before selecting, it is recommended to confirm the following information:
· On-site or video visit: Request to visit the company and communicate with the R&D team.
· Check the laboratory: Confirm whether the company has an R&D laboratory, such as high and low-temperature chambers.
· Request product test reports: Ask the supplier to provide product test case reports. A true self-developed product should have complete software and hardware test reports.
Rayin Technology welcomes customers for on-site or video visits to verify our self-developed capabilities.
6. Summary
In the industrial telecommunication field, self-developed is the foundation for product controllability. Rayin Technology completes everything from design to testing by ourselves. If you are looking for a partner for true self-developed industrial telecommunication related products, you can visit Rayin Technology's official website (www.szrayin.com) to submit your requirements and experience the full process service from design to finished product.
