RFID Smart Cabinet OEM/ODM Requirement & Delivery Scope
Confirm the managed items, cabinet structure, RFID reading target, permission workflow, software interface, certification, installation and after-sales boundary before deciding whether the project fits hardware OEM, complete ODM or industry-specific cabinet customization.
Managed item inputsCabinet and RFID designWorkflow and API scopeAcceptance boundary
Path Snapshot
Managed item, item size, packaging material, tag position, capacity, workflow, permission and system interface.
Cabinet, RFID, lock, sensor, identity module, cabinet UI, basic software, API and branded delivery package.
Submit the smart-cabinet checklist so the project can be screened as hardware OEM, complete ODM or industry customization.
01
Program Models
Customers should see whether the work is a hardware OEM project, a complete ODM product or an industry-specific cabinet route.
Smart Cabinet Hardware OEM
Best when the customer already has business software and needs cabinet structure, RFID read zone, door control, sensors, identity modules and a base communication protocol.
Complete Smart Cabinet ODM
Best when the customer needs a private-label cabinet product with structure, RFID, electronics, firmware, cabinet UI, basic inventory functions and API output.
Industry Cabinet Customization
Best when medical consumables, reagents, tools, MRO parts, files or valuables need industry workflow, permission logic, reporting fields and sample validation.
Not Included By Default
Customer ERP/HIS/CMMS deep development, mobile apps, overseas installation, local compliance consulting and on-site operations redesign should be scoped separately.
02
Customer Inputs Before Review
A smart cabinet quote depends on the managed item, workflow, structure, RFID behavior, software interface and commercial plan.
Managed Item Inputs
Item type, length, width, height, weight, packaging material, tag position, single-cabinet capacity, SKU count, turnover frequency and high-value control needs.
Business Workflow Inputs
Who stocks, who takes, whether return is needed, inventory mode, replenishment rule, exception handling and report dimensions by person, department, SKU, batch or project.
Cabinet Structure Inputs
Single-door, double-door, drawer, compartment, refrigerated or display cabinet; dimensions, shelf structure, door style, lock method, screen, identity method, network and power.
RFID Recognition Inputs
Real tag sample, item sample, cabinet layout, read target, anti-cross-read requirement, accuracy target and metal or liquid influence.
Software And Integration Inputs
Cabinet UI, backend need, ERP / WMS / HIS / SPD / CMMS / MES / SAP / Oracle / Odoo target, API or middleware method, field list and deployment mode.
Brand And Commercial Inputs
Branding mode, annual demand, target market, certification, color, logo, panel material, UI theme, installation model and after-sales method.
03
Project Deliverables
Smart-equipment projects need visible outputs from review through rollout, not only a cabinet sample.
| Stage | Typical deliverables |
|---|---|
| Requirement review | Item list, workflow map, cabinet specification, function list and quotation direction |
| Design stage | Cabinet drawing, module configuration, RFID read-zone plan, interface definition and project schedule |
| Sample stage | Prototype cabinet, cabinet-side software, basic backend or API and test report |
| Test adjustment | Read-test record, shielding adjustment record, structure-change list and firmware version note |
| Pilot production | Pilot units, assembly process, outgoing-test standard and packaging plan |
| Mass delivery | Batch cabinets, user manual, maintenance guide, spare-parts list and warranty note |
04
Acceptance Boundary
The cabinet page should explain what is tested on agreed conditions and what cannot be promised before real validation.
| Focus | Confirm before acceptance | Do not promise by default |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet structure | Dimensions, color, logo, materials, door style, lock, sensor, screen and identity module match the approved drawing and configuration. | Do not treat concept sketches as final production approval. |
| RFID read result | Read rate and anti-cross-read result are checked with agreed tags, item placement, cabinet density and shielding condition. | Do not promise arbitrary item placement, perfect anti-cross-read or final accuracy before real item testing. |
| Workflow logic | Open, issue, return, inventory, replenishment, exception and reporting logic are checked against the reviewed process. | Do not assume the page includes a complete industry platform when only hardware, base UI or API is quoted. |
| Integration and resilience | Field mapping, data upload, restart, power/network interruption and offline baseline behavior are tested on the agreed interface boundary. | Do not promise customer-system redevelopment, local medical compliance or overseas on-site service by default. |
05
Pricing Boundary
Split cabinet quotes into visible parts so structure, electronics, software and deployment support are not mixed together.
Cabinet And RFID Hardware
Separate cabinet cost from readers, antennas, shielding, electrical control, locks, sensors, screen and identity modules.
Structure And Appearance
Keep structure customization, panel material, color, logo, UI theme, packaging and certification cost visible.
Software And API
Quote cabinet-side UI, backend system, report logic, API integration and field mapping as explicit engineering scope.
Pilot, Service And Batch
Break out sample build, NRE, pilot, spare-parts package, freight, tax, installation support and mass-production unit price.
06
Cabinet Direction Differences
Different cabinet categories have different input priorities and validation risks, so sample testing should be planned early.
| Cabinet type | Must confirm | Main risk | Sample test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical consumables cabinet | Batch, expiry, permission and HIS / SPD interface | Metal or liquid packaging and strict compliance expectation | Yes |
| Drug / reagent cabinet | Temperature, humidity, expiry, permission and exception alarm | Liquid influence and temperature-control structure | Yes |
| Tool cabinet | Tool material, placement pattern and borrow-return flow | Strong metal interference and irregular shapes | Yes |
| MRO parts cabinet | SKU count, replenishment rule and ERP / CMMS interface | Mixed packaging and inconsistent item forms | Yes |
| File cabinet | File-box size, permission and borrow-return flow | Dense tags and misplaced-item detection | Yes |
| Retail valuables cabinet | Anti-theft, display, permission and store-system interface | High security expectations | Yes |
07
Minimum Start Pack
These are the minimum materials needed before the team can decide whether the project fits hardware OEM, complete ODM or industry-specific customization.
| Minimum input | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Managed item list | Defines what the cabinet must recognize and control |
| Item sample or size and photo | Determines storage structure and read-zone risk |
| Tag sample or planned tag specification | Confirms RFID fit and shielding needs |
| Cabinet capacity target | Sets size, layering and SKU planning |
| Issue and return workflow | Defines UI, access and event logic |
| Permission method | Confirms card, PIN, biometrics or account flow |
| Backend or API requirement | Shows whether the project is hardware-only or software-linked |
| Target country or market | Confirms power, compliance and shipment planning |
| Branding direction and forecast quantity | Helps separate sample engineering from rollout planning |
