Have any questions regarding Customization?

Are custom products more expensive than standard products?

Typically people will think that custom products more expensive than standard products when they add up the bill of materials without taking into account labor and overhead. Custom products can actually be less expensive than a standard off the shelf product for a few reasons: Even standard commercially available products require some custom bracketry or adaptations to make them work in an OEM assembly. The total cost of ownership is decreased by having a single vendor to source and expedite from. And as an added benefit, custom products can free up your engineering to work on core technology rather than packaging.

Are lead times on custom products longer than standard products?

Whether a requirement calls for standard or custom product, each solution can still be implemented within relatively short lead times. In many cases, Gems custom lead times are shorter than those of most other industry standard products. Plus, for many of our OEMs have Kanbans in place (A Kanban is a pull system where a quantity of finished goods sit on our shelves to be shipped in bulk when needed).

For global, larger volume OEM applications, Gems can also proceed to simultaneous localized custom manufacturing. This is supported via its three fully equipped, ISO certified facilities located in North America, Europe and Asia. Such an approach allows for reduced lead times and logistics costs, as well as rapid customer response. All products are manufactured and tested to the same high-quality and rigorous performance standards, regardless of location, for expedited delivery and reduced time to market.

What modifications can I make to your standard products? / Where can I find a list of available customization options?

If we tried listing them, we would be limiting what is possible. There are virtually an infinite number of options for both modifications and customization of Gems sensing technologies. Our customization expertise can further extend into the incorporation of multiple technology types within a single application.
