ODM Capability Ladder

Six phases, three engagement models, one goal: getting your AI + AR smart eyewear product to market faster, better and more competitively.

OEM

Build-to-Print

Your design + your spec. SmartXY handles structural engineering, sourcing and mass production.

ODM

Catalog Customization

Pre-validated platform from our open-mold library + your branding, color, UI and regional requirements.

JDM

Joint Development

Co-development from concept to MP under shared IP framework. Strategic partners only.

ODM capability ladder and six phases
Governance

IPD + Agile project control from requirement freeze to MP readiness.

01 Requirement Freeze

Product definition, target market, ID/CMF, optical path, software scope, certification and commercial constraints.

02 Engineering Gates

ID/MD freeze, EVT, DVT, PVT and MP readiness review with risk logs and cross-functional owners.

03 Global Delivery

Supply-chain planning, certification route, test reports, packaging, logistics and regional compliance support.

Typical Timeline

ODM 6–9 months · JDM 9–14 months

Timeline depends on optics, certification scope, tooling complexity, firmware/app integration and requirement changes. The earlier the requirements are frozen, the lower the downstream cost and schedule risk.
