ODM selection is ultimately a bet on the red light therapy bed supplier’s engineering team, because that team will handle the problems that appear after launch.
Ask how many engineers work on light therapy products and whether mechanical, electronic, and firmware design work is handled in-house. Request a case study of a customization the supplier delivered, including the problem, the change made, and the validation performed.
Probe the details that reveal real competence. How are LEDs binned and matched across a panel? How is thermal drift managed during a twenty-minute session, and does irradiance hold steady or fall as the unit heats up? How is the acrylic panel mounted to avoid stress cracking at the fasteners?
Suppliers who answer with test data and design trade-offs are engineering-led. Suppliers who answer with adjectives are not.
