While bulk purchasing offers numerous benefits, businesses must carefully consider several factors to ensure they make the right decision for their specific automation needs.
1. Product Specifications
It's crucial to assess the technical specifications of the control panels before making a bulk purchase. Key factors to consider include:
Screen Size: Determine whether you need smaller panels (e.g., 4-inch, 5-inch) or larger displays (10-inch, 12-inch), depending on the application.
Connectivity Options: Check for essential connectivity options such as Ethernet (RJ45), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) support.
Processor and Memory: Ensure the control panels have sufficient processing power (e.g., quad-core processors like Rockchip RK3566) and adequate memory (e.g., 2GB RAM and 32GB storage) for your automation requirements.
2. Customization Needs
Determine whether your business requires customized features such as specific input/output ports, screen resolution, or mounting options (e.g., wall-mounted, flush-mounted, or embedded). Customized control panels can be requested directly from OEM/ODM manufacturers for bulk orders.
Customization Requests: Ensure the supplier offers flexible OEM/ODM solutions to meet your project’s specific needs.
Software Customization: If needed, inquire about software support to integrate custom applications or modify the user interface (UI).
