A OEM word in the computer hardware product was really simply too universal, looked like the OEM light to drive, the OEM monitor, OEM mouse anything. some people even thought that it is one has the quality assurance brand. Then, how many do you know about OEM? A product named OEM whether represent trustworthy? Actually, OEM and the modern industry society has close relationship. Some famous brand commodity manufacturer, because his own the workshop cannot achieve the production of enormous quantities ,and large quatity request, also or needs certain specific components, therefore seeks help from other manufacturers. These extend manufacturer called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer, original equipment producer). Direct to IT domain, then expressed that Manufacture sbstitite for others. For example the CPU ventilator, laptop battery(Dell XPS M2010 Battery)or AMD Corporation itself does not produce, they will usually look for the Japanese Sanyo Corporation such specialized electrical machinery Manufacturing firm to make the ventilator OEM production.
What is ODM? Originally, after some manufacturer designs one product, manufacturer will possibly be settled on that brand , the request be joined to the latter's brand name to carry on the production, or revise some designs (for example to change the outlook of Dell XPS M1730 Battery or Replacement for Dell XPS M1530 Battery) to produce. The biggest advantage was reduced his own developed time. Some person of routine said that these produce OEM, in fact should be call ODM (Original Design Manufacturer, designs manufacturer primitively). For example some Japan brand's notebook in fact is produces by Taiwan manufacturer. Afterward, Taiwan notebook manufacturer, so long as repairs to change certain design detail or the fitting then may carry on the volume production by own brand name. the reason lies in them to make for these Japanese brand is ODM, but non-OEM. Certainly, we may say that they are produce from the identical strip production line.
The biggest difference betweenn OEM and the ODM is not solely the name. The OEM product Dell XPS M140 Battery (7200mAh capacity)of DELL for example ,is for brand manufacturer specially, after production, only can use this brand name, cannot top producer own name absolutely to carry on the production again. But ODM must aim at brand but does have product copyright. If no, the manufacturer is authorized to organize to produce, so long as does not have Enterprise company's design and is ok. In industrial society, OEM and ODM is commonly seen. Because stemming from the production cost, the transportation conveniences, saves and so on development time , the well-known brand enterprise is willing to look for other manufacturer OEM or ODM generally. When looks for other enterprise carries on OEM or ODM, the famous brand enterprise also will undertake many responsibilities. What after all product crown is own sign, if the product quality is not good,it will cause guest visits sue, what serius is possible to go to court. Therefore, brand enterprise in processing deal period ,definitely will carry on the strict quality control. after a OEM ended, the quality does not dare to guarantee. Therefore, when some businesses tell you some product the producer are some big brand OEM or the ODM product, do not believe that its quality equates this brand. You can believe that only is this family manufacturer has certainly certainly produce ability.
Moreover, did not know whether everybody has met such situation: when Purchases the product (for example the LCD monitor of laptop Dell XPS M1330 and Dell XPS M1210), the business introduced that some Taiwan brand LCD monitor's liquid crystal kneading board is some Japanese OEM. Actually this view is a quite wrong concept. first, for the safeguard brand's quality and prestige, ODM or the OEM Corporation's name is security. If it has exposed that A brand notebook is produced by B, that others will buy more expensive A brand product? Therefore the above LCD monitor's example, in fact Taiwan brand it only purchases the Japanese brand liquid crystal kneading board fitting to carry on the production. The quality good or is not, cannot believe completely. So how to distinguish whether the OEM has used the well-known manufacturer fitting? Take the LCD monitor as the example, at present its core technologies still controlled in the Japan and in the South Korean several big manufacturer. The consumer may carry on the distinction from the technical specification. If the contrast gradient is 400:1, only Japan's Hitachi (Hitachi) and Fujitsu (Fujitsu) produce it, but the contrast gradient is 350:1 product mainly by Tristar Corporation and Japanese NEC Corporation of South Korean .
