The Difference Between OEM And ODM And Why Does It Matter?

As far as manufacturing goes, a large number of products are not completely manufactured by one single company. Often times, companies who sell products (such as Apple selling their iPhones) have to use another company’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM in short) or original design manufacturer (ODM in short) services in order to complete production. At EeLink Tech, we offer both OEM and ODM services to any and all companies seeking assistance with their GPS tracking devices. We specialize in those products which other companies need, but might not have the facilities or resources to complete the manufacturing process.

OEM vs. ODM

So, what exactly is the difference between OEM and ODM? Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, but they are not meant to be. OEM is the term used for when the client company does all the research and development (R&D in short), and only needs help during the manufacturing process. ODM is the term used for when the client company needs help with R&D as well as manufacturing. Whatever the services are that you require, our development teams are able to assist you.

Product Uses

We are pleased to offer numerous tracking solutions to companies looking to improve the visibility they have over their business. Our product uses include, but are not limited to: car rental solutions, fleet management solutions, trucking & logistics solutions, school bus management systems, secure transportation solutions, employee management solutions, and operation centric solutions.

Our GPS trackers are often used to improve upon supply chain visibility for companies. When assets are being mobilized, it’s helpful to use this sort of tracking technology in order to consistently check on both the safety of your assets and the speed at which they are moving. Using these devices often improves the speed with which they’re delivered, because awareness incites urgency.

Internet of Things

As our products mostly rely on the Internet of Things (IoT in short) for GPS tracking, we have taken it upon ourselves to implement extra levels of security within said products. Our firmware is designed with TLS and MQTT protocol in order to make it much harder for hackers to gain access to our products and systems.

Products which use the IoT are simultaneously very useful and endangering. Since this technology makes our products so interconnected to other nearby devices, it increases the vulnerability to hacking and cyber-attacks. If you are cautious and aware when using these products, your risk will decrease immensely. Always keep your networks and devices password protected, and create separate guest networks for all devices which operate through the IoT. That way, if someone does gain access to your systems, they won’t be able to reach some of your more personal information. Our teams have already improved upon safety measures for the use of the IoT, and they will continue to improve on future projects.

We are dedicated to doing our job the right way, and we wish to help protect you from the complications that can come along with using IoT technology. First, we recommend doing some research on what the Internet of Things really is, and then we encourage you to ask our team plenty of questions, so that you understand exactly how our technology works and why we use it. Feel free to ask us questions about how to keep yourself safe, and we will be happy to assist.
