POS accessory sourcing often looks simple at the beginning. A buyer may only need a protective cover, stand, screen protector, or another supporting component for an existing payment terminal. Once the order moves from sampling to repeated production, however, the real challenges become much clearer. Poor device fit, inconsistent batches, unclear customization requirements, delayed tooling, and unstable replenishment can all affect the operation of a payment device program. Payment terminals
Cracks in handheld barcode scanners do not always mean that the device itself was poorly made. In logistics, warehousing, retail, and industrial environments, damage can develop through repeated mechanical stress rather than one dramatic accident. Drops are only part of the picture. Repeated impacts, edge loading, temperature changes, structural weak points, and inadequate protection can gradually turn small stresses into visible cracks. The better approach is to understand where the damage b
Silicone products may look simple, but their long-term performance depends on much more than appearance. Material properties, molding consistency, dimensional stability, and resistance to repeated use all influence how a product performs after months of service. For protective covers, automotive components, and industrial silicone parts, a sample that looks perfect on the day it is produced does not automatically mean it will remain reliable in the field. Good silicone product manufacturing t
Europe remains one of the world's most attractive markets, but it is also one of the most heavily regulated. For manufacturers of silicone and plastic products, production capability alone is not enough. Meeting European compliance requirements is often essential for successful market entry. According to data published by the European Commission through the Safety Gate system, thousands of products are flagged or recalled every year due to safety concerns, material violations, or incomplete t
Many products do not fail in the market. They fail long before they ever reach it. Research published by the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) shows that more than 40% of new product initiatives never successfully reach commercialization. In silicone and plastic manufacturing, the transition between development and mass production is often where the greatest risks emerge. From a manufacturing perspective, a successful OEM product launch process involves much more than prod
Bringing a product to market is often more challenging than developing the initial idea. While many products look promising on paper, turning them into reliable, scalable, and commercially viable products requires coordination across multiple stages of manufacturing. Traditionally, companies work with separate suppliers for industrial design, tooling, molding, finishing, testing, and packaging. Every additional supplier introduces communication gaps, longer lead times, and increased project r
Large-order delays are one of the most common challenges in manufacturing projects. For many companies, a missed delivery date can create inventory shortages, disrupt production schedules, and even affect customer relationships. Industry supply chain studies show that more than 30% of custom manufacturing projects experience some level of delivery delay. In most cases, the problem is not caused by a single issue. Instead, delays are often the result of multiple factors, including tooling deve
When organizations evaluate payment terminals, purchase price often receives the most attention. However, the real financial impact usually appears after deployment, when devices are exposed to daily handling, accidental drops, transportation, and continuous operation. Industry reports on mobile payment hardware show that maintenance, repairs, downtime, and replacement expenses can account for 20% to 35% of a device's total cost of ownership throughout its service life. Physical damage remain
Millions of POS terminals are used every day in retail stores, restaurants, logistics operations, and mobile payment environments. Unlike consumer electronics, these devices are exposed to constant handling, accidental drops, dust, vibration, and continuous operation throughout the day. Industry studies on payment terminals and handheld devices indicate that more than 60% of hardware failures are related to physical damage rather than internal electronic issues. Cracked housings, damaged corn
In most OEM projects, material selection doesn’t really start as a theoretical discussion. It usually comes up when a product already has a prototype, and something doesn’t feel right in testing—maybe the part ages too fast, or it simply doesn’t hold up in field use. Between silicone and rubber, both are used a lot in industrial components. At WJM, we see this comparison almost every week, especially in protective cases, device housings, and functional covers for handheld equipment.
In industrial handheld device ecosystems, protection is often treated as an accessory decision. In reality, it is part of the system reliability architecture. Devices such as barcode scanners, PDA terminals, and logistics data collectors are not used in controlled environments. They operate in warehouses, production lines, outdoor logistics hubs, and transportation networks where impact, vibration, and contamination are constant. Even devices designed with internal shock resis
The Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) has reaffirmed its long-standing ban on the import and sale of electronic smoking devices (ESDs), including e-cigarettes and vapes, which has been in place since 2009. Despite this prohibition, these devices are readily available online and through street vendors, with approximately 835,000 Brazilians currently using them. A study from the National Cancer Institute (INCA) highlights that e-cigarette usage is most prevalent among young adults age
In industrial field environments, handheld barcode scanners, PDA terminals, and various data collection devices are subjected to high-frequency usage on a daily basis. Frequent drops, abrasion, exposure to oil and dust, and complex operating conditions can cause device casings to suffer from wear, cracking, or even structural damage within a short period. At the initial stages of a project, many device manufacturers and solution integrators often focus primarily on the performance of the devi
In recent years, the way POS devices are used has changed significantly. Across industries such as retail, food service, and mobile payment, POS terminals are now exposed to much higher usage frequency than before. They are constantly handled, moved, and shared across different users and environments. At the early stage, most companies focused mainly on device performance. But over time, another issue became more noticeable — the rising cost of maintenance. More businesses are starting to r
In industrial product development, many quality issues don't arise during the manufacturing process, but rather are sown at the much earlier material selection stage. For industrial equipment requiring long-term stable operation, materials not only determine the product's appearance and cost but also directly impact durability, stability, and subsequent maintenance costs. Especially for components requiring mass production, silicone and plastic are often the two most common choices, yet their
In silicone and plastic manufacturing, problems don’t usually come from one single step. More often, they appear between steps — when design, tooling, and production are not fully aligned. In many projects, mold development, molding, and inspection are handled by different suppliers. At the beginning, this setup may seem workable. But as production moves forward, issues tend to show up — small dimensional deviations, repeated adjustments, or delays that are hard to trace back to one sou
In the payment industry, hardware decisions are rarely just about the device itself. For payment companies managing large networks of POS terminals, the real challenge begins after deployment — when devices are used daily across different environments, handled by multiple users, and exposed to constant wear. Over time, even small issues can accumulate into significant operational costs. This is why more companies are re-evaluating one often overlooked component: the protective solution used
In the field of precision manufacturing, product quality depends not only on the design itself, but also on every detail of the production process. From material selection to mold development, molding, and post-processing, each step directly affects the performance and consistency of the final product. For industrial products and equipment components requiring long-term stable use, the precision and reliability of silicone products are particularly critical.
For many OEM brands, working with multiple suppliers has become a normal part of the sourcing process. One vendor handles molds, another produces silicone parts, and a third manages plastic components or finishing. At the beginning, this setup may seem flexible. But as projects move forward, the hidden challenges gradually appear. Communication becomes fragmented. Small design changes take longer to implement. Quality varies from batch to batch. And when something goes wrong, it is often diff
In many payment businesses, the cost of maintaining POS devices is often underestimated. At the beginning, everything works fine. Devices are new, performance is stable, and there are no visible issues. But after a few months of daily use — especially in high-traffic environments like retail stores, restaurants, or outdoor payment points — problems start to appear. Scratches, cracked housings, loose buttons, or even internal damage caused by accidental drops. For companies managing hundre
For companies working with large volumes of POS devices, sourcing accessories is rarely a one-time decision. It’s an ongoing process — and often a challenging one. Orders need to be fulfilled on time, products must remain consistent, and supply should be stable even when demand suddenly increases. When any of these factors fail, it directly affects business operations. This is why more distributors and payment solution providers are paying closer attention to how they source POS machine c
