    With the rapid increase in smart product market requirements, there are more and more smart home businesses. So, how to choose reliable smart home automation manufacturers?

Clear the qualification and core strength of the factory

     It’s necessary for the factory to have a business license and production license normally. Moreover, it should have a stable R&D department to provide reliable smart homes technology and after-sales service, etc. It will be best if the factory applies product certifications according to different markets. In case the brand customers can’t apply the bar code by themselves, so they can use the factory’s bar code directly.
     Products have certification means quality is guaranteed. Especially electronic smart home appliances
.
     Because the electronics certification is quite strict to approve. From “products itself”(stability test, inspection report, risk assessment, etc) →“purchase material ”(Supplier’s selection and management, ensure the quality and lead time)→material inspection (according to the acceptance standard can check and remove almost defective items)→ Arrange production (hardware, software confirmation and monitor process of production)→Semi-finished/finished products inspection(meet the product quality standard)→Storage and transportation (Material protection). All processes are the keys to control product quality.
     Usually, the qualified & big factory can approve certification only, such as ISO quality certification, GMP certification, etc.
Products whether have certificated, all can be checked on the certified website.
     For example, The certification of Hidin Tech is as below pictures. If you need all our certifications, please contact us.


 

Visit and check the factory If you have time

     It’s more useful to visit the factory for checking instead of your survey online. You can come to the factory to check whether have the R&D team, the production line, the production equipment, the production capacity, the test room, etc. To check whether the factory distinguishes the work area clear, and the status of sanitary conditions. The production line doesn’t have to be big, but all production equipment and the process must be all completed and normative. This is the key to make sure the production capacity. If the process of products is unclear and doesn't have enough equipment. It will be a big issue when the factory has many orders but product capacity could not meet the order requirement.
