QWR manufacturing facility
Why partner with QWR

India's only end-to-end ODM
for head-worn computing.

QWR combines the engineering depth of a Tier-1 global ODM with the supply-chain advantages of a Make in India Class 1 manufacturer. For brands sourcing outside China, we're the sovereign alternative.

Sovereign supply chain

Secure, India-origin manufacturing that de-risks sourcing for global brands moving outside China. A credible china-plus-one, backed by a BIS-certified production facility.

You own the IP

Every engagement ends with you owning the product IP. NDAs from day one, isolated manufacturing cells, encrypted firmware delivery, your design is never cross-pollinated with another partner's.

One accountable vendor

Optics, firmware, mechanical, certification, and mass production under one roof. No stitching a supply chain together across three vendors and two continents.

Make in India Class 1

Our headsets qualify for government procurement under DAP's Buy Indian categories, including defence, education, and PSU tenders.

Accessible MOQs

Pilot runs from 5,000 units, scaling to 100,000+ per year on 30-day ramp notice. No minimum-order gatekeeping for early-stage partners.

India procurement-ready

For Indian institutional buyers: Make in India Class 1, DAP Buy Indian eligible, PLI-aligned, and GeM-registered, qualifying for defence, education, and PSU tenders.

Process

7-Phase DFM Pipeline:
From Brief to Certified XR Headset.

Every QWR project follows a structured Design for Manufacturing (DFM) pipeline. It removes the certification risk, cost surprises, and timeline slippage that typically plague hardware ODM projects.

1

Requirement Freeze

Functional, regulatory, and cost constraints locked in writing before any engineering begins.

→ Frozen requirements
2

System Architecture

SoC selection (Snapdragon® XR2 / AR1), BOM locking, and dual-source strategy for critical components.

→ Frozen architecture
3

Engineering Validation

Rigorous EVT → DVT → PVT cycles with in-house failure analysis at each gate.

→ Production-ready
4

Optical Calibration

Precision waveguide and light engine assembly in ISO cleanrooms. View custom optics capabilities →

→ Calibrated optics
5

Certification

In-house pre-compliance for FCC, CE, BIS, and WPC, reducing lab iteration cycles from 3–4 to one.

→ Certified product
6

Production & Scale

Pilot builds (5,000 units) and volume ramp to 100K+ units per year from our Pune facility.

→ Shippable units
7

Post-Production Support

OTA fleet management, SLA-backed RMA, BOM stability guarantee, and spares inventory.

→ Lifecycle support
Capabilities

Supply chain

Strategic EMS partnerships with Kaynes Technology and Syrma SGS for global BOM-level traceability and dual-source component strategy.

Compliance

In-house pre-compliance testing for BIS, WPC, FCC, CE, and ISO 27001. We submit once, not three or four times, not a lab gamble.

Capacity

100,000+ units per year. Pilot runs from 5,000 units. 98%+ yield targets. IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 PCB assembly standards.

FAQ

Scaling XR hardware
for global brands.

What is the minimum order quantity for an ODM VR or AR headset?
Co-Brand projects support single-digit unit samples. Full ODM projects start at 5,000-unit pilot runs, with volume production scaling to 100,000+ units per year on 30-day ramp notice.
Can QWR manufacture for brands outside India?
Yes. We already ship to 17+ countries and build for global brands sourcing a non-China ODM partner. Devices certify for international markets, FCC, CE, UKCA, RoHS, alongside Indian compliance.
How long does certification take?
We run in-house pre-compliance for FCC, CE, BIS, and WPC, so we submit once instead of three or four times. Standard BIS certification spans 4–8 weeks depending on radio and battery configuration; international marks run in parallel.
What is the difference between ODM and OEM smart glasses?
With ODM, you build on QWR's validated platform with customisation. With OEM, you bring your own hardware specification and QWR manufactures to it. Both give you full IP ownership of the final product.
IP SAFEGUARDS

Your design stays yours. Always.

NDAs from day one. Isolated manufacturing cells. Encrypted firmware delivery. Your IP is never cross-pollinated with another partner's project, at any stage of production.
