- 2. Electronic Product Development in Taiwan and China To be competitive in today’s electronic market To accelerate Time To place, it is unavoidable to look to Asia, where Market (hence TiToMa), everything is cheaper: from the components, to the labor for assembly and packaging, to the product design should molds needed for the housing. Titoma enables be done as close as our clients to reap the full benefits of these possible to the manufacturing advantages. But we do a lot more manufacturing. We than just implement a client’s BOM and CAD make it possible to data package. In almost every case our engineers entrust your will work with you in order to further optimize development project to your design to take full advantage of low cost China manufacturing. We call this philosophy professional Western DFAM, or Design For Asian Manufacturing©. management, on‐site in Taiwan or China. We DFAM holds that any mass‐produced electronic know what you expect, product can only reach its full profit potential and deliver exactly that when the development fully takes into account at low cost. the cost‐down particularities of China manufacturing, right from the start. Thus, Industrial Design instead of moving a product to China after three‐ quarters of the product development has been Mechanical Engineering done in the West, you can expect savings of up Electronic to 60% on the total project cost when Titoma Engineering not only manufactures your product in Asia but Software/Firmware also develops it there. Integration & Testing Since design is done in Asia, the transition into Tooling manufacturing is seamless, and so you save not Prototyping just money, but time as well. Beat the competition by getting the edge on them first, Certifications before they get the edge on you. Titoma offers you that edge. Taiwan USA 0 40 80 in thousands of US$

GPS linked to software applications can be implemented in a wide range of scenarios, from location, tracking, and control to security systems using custom made receivers—from a small USB stick sized device with a small LCD, to a portable media player—and transmitters that can be easily included on existing structures. We have experience developing application‐ specific networks with short range solutions such as Bluetooth or ZigBee, ideal for short range requirements that can be scaled up using cells to have maximum coverage. Titoma has close ties with Taiwan's RF manufacturers, which means that for many applications we will be able to find you an existing design that can quickly be adapted to your needs.
- 5. Modular and custom designed RF solutions We offer small RF Modules for low prices in quantity, which means that a whole range of new low‐cost electronics becomes possible. Smaller form factors also allow greater flexibility Over the years we have for industrial designs, achieving devices that designed and were not possible before; the key is finding a manufactured a wide good balance between portability, battery life, and coverage. Once the base solution is set up in range of portable media hardware at low cost, the software platform will players, mobile Internet give these devices the added value required to devices, digital signage be a top selling product. systems and information portals with Tri Band GSM/GPRS tracking solutions high performance We also have Triband GSM/GPRS modules, wireless communication which can be used in combination with GPS to implement tracking solutions. requirements. High performance/small footprint WiFi systems. Over the years we have designed and manufactured a wide range of portable media players, mobile Internet devices, digital signage systems and information portals with high performance wireless communication requirements. We have access to a wide database of 802.11b/g/n chipsets vendors, as well as WiFi modules in different form factors and Patch and Dipole antennas , allowing us to optimize the radio frequency patterns, power output and location for EMC, minimizing EMI and improving system data transmission reliability.

- 9. Mold making and Plastic Injection Injection mold making in China can be a lot cheaper than in the West, and even more so once you understand how to adapt plastic parts Titoma offers its designs to the particularities of Chinese injection Western clients a molders. significant cost reduction (often more Through the low labor rates in China there is a than 50%) on injection very different balance between fixed cost and molds. variable costs. To lower assembly cost Western engineers sometimes come up with extremely complex part designs, which require very expensive molds. In China we often save our clients money by splitting such complex parts up in 2 simple ones, which are then assembled for next to nothing. Similarly, adding a rubber grip to a drill handle will quadruple your mold cost if you go for a co‐ injection mold in the West. In China we mold the ABS handle in one mold, and then place that same handle into a second mold, where the still warm handle is overmolded with TPR rubber. Most everybody knows that plastic molds from China are cheap, but there are also many horror stories around. If mold making in China goes wrong, it tends to go wrong in quite a big way. Our engineers assure full conformity to Western quality standards and on‐time delivery of parts. Our Western management team is permanently located in Taiwan and China and has accumulated many years of experience working in the region.
- 10. IP Protection in China and Taiwan Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in China is a big concern for many of our clients, and understandably so. Stories abound of We like to design in one products being copied, and even of factories critical, hard‐to‐copy using the molds that you paid for to make and component without sell your product behind your back. which the product won't work, and deliver that That's why at Titoma we go to great lengths to component to the protect the confidentiality of our clients' ideas factory on a strictly as and inventions. This is actually one of the main reasons people prefer to work with us rather needed basis. than just handing their idea to an unknown factory somewhere in China. Even though most of our mass production is done in China, we still prefer to keep development in Taiwan. Our usual strategy is to do pilot production in Taiwan, and only after the product is stable and available in the market do we move mass production to China. This is generally a very easy transfer because work methods are so similar. We always pay a realistic fee for tooling and development, this way there is no doubt as to who owns what. Many IP problems we have seen arose when development or tooling were offered free or far below cost, and the client's sales numbers did not meet rosy forecasts. Since the client was not able to sell, the manufacturer feels morally justified in making back his investment by doing the selling himself.
