| Delivery format | Customer-brand shipping (OEM) / co-branding (ODM), custom packaging and manuals |
Service Process
- Requirement review (NDA first): after signing an NDA, joint review of feature definition, target platform, automotive grade, annual volume and cost targets
- Solution design: sensor and lens selection, serial-link architecture, schematic & PCB design, mechanical design, thermal and EMC estimation
- A-sample delivery: functional prototypes (typically 8–12 weeks) with initial ISP tuning and basic drivers
- B-sample & DV validation: reliability testing per ISO 16750 / customer standards — high/low temperature, humidity, vibration, salt spray, EMC, etc.
- Pilot production (PPAP): AA line ramp-up, process CPK statistics, finalized shipment-inspection criteria
- Mass production SOP: AA active alignment + Class-1000 cleanroom production, expandable with two shifts, continuous quality tracking
Applications
- OEM programs: front-view / surround-view / in-cabin modules developed in step with vehicle program milestones
- Tier1 co-development: imaging modules and serial links for algorithm and domain-control Tier1s
- Brands going overseas: dashcams, surround view and smart screens shipped under customer brands (OEM)
- Industry customization: special vision needs for construction machinery, agricultural equipment and low-speed unmanned vehicles
Solution Advantages
- 41-engineer full-stack team: complete staffing across software, hardware, mechanical, optics, product & vision, and test engineering
- AA active-alignment line: focusing process zones 1/2/3 + Class-1000 cleanroom + Class-100 front-stage assembly — industry-leading optical consistency
- 50+ patents: covering surround-view stitching, focusing processes, mechanical design and other core areas
- Automotive validation system: in-house salt spray, high/low temperature & humidity, shock, vibration, thermal shock and optics labs
FAQ
QWhat is the MOQ for ODM projects?
Custom projects are assessed by development cost and annual volume, generally requiring a project-lifetime total above 10K units/sets; the OEM version of standard products starts at 1K MOQ. Final terms follow the requirement review.
QWho owns the IP of custom development?
Per agreement: for portions funded by the customer's development fee, custom designs and software copyrights can belong to the customer; TSIMSAFE's existing patents and platform technology are provided under license. All projects sign an NDA by default.
QHow long is the overall cycle from requirements to mass production?
Light customization (structure/interface changes on a standard platform) takes about 3–4 months; full customization (new sensor + new board + ISP tuning + automotive validation) takes about 8–12 months. We provide a milestone plan at the requirement-review stage.
