Challenges in the Manufacturing of Smart Ring
  • Space Constraints: The internal space within smart rings is extremely limited and curved, requiring the accommodation of various precision components such as batteries, processors, sensors, and antennas.  This poses significant challenges for both design and manufacturing.
  • Signal Transmission: Smart rings typically utilize a variety of sensors for data collection, which requires signal transmission. To ensure signal accuracy, the materials used for sensor cases are often challenging precious metals, demanding high levels of technical expertise.
  • Supply Chain: Manufacturing smart rings involves multiple technologies and processes, necessitating collaboration with various suppliers. However, the supply chain for smart rings is currently  underdeveloped, making it difficult to find a single manufacturer capable of handling all manufacturing stages.
TR Solution vs Solution in the Market
Solution in the Market

Currently, the manufacturing of smart rings relies mainly on traditional solutions, where various suppliers procure key components, which are then assembled by contract manufacturers. However, this approach presents three drawbacks for startups:

  • Lack of flexibility: Customized designs are difficult to implement, making it challenging to meet specific requirements.
  • High costs: Cost reduction typically requires large-scale production, posing a high initial threshold for startups.
  • Complex supply chain:Managing multiple suppliers increases management complexity and risk.
