ODM Lighting Development Process: From Brief to Production
Follow the controlled stages used to turn a lighting project brief into an approved production configuration. The process defines what the customer prepares, what ANOVA reviews and what each stage must deliver before the next decision. Application details, drawings, target performance, installation constraints, market requirements and expected volume form the starting inputs; engineering, prototype validation and production preparation then create a traceable route to manufacturing.

Customer Inputs and Stage Deliverables Keep the Process Moving
This page explains the ODM workflow rather than the full range of customization options. Customers prepare the available application, installation, performance, market, quantity and timing information; each review stage then produces a defined output for the following decision.
Stage 1: Project Requirements and Customer Inputs
We begin with the application, operating environment, installation constraints, target market, performance goals, expected quantity and unacceptable failure modes.
- Application review
- Environment definition
- Target specification
- Volume planning
Stage 2: Engineering Design Direction
Materials, finishes, enclosure, optics, electrical configuration, thermal behavior and manufacturing feasibility are developed as one product system.
- Material selection
- Mechanical design
- Thermal review
- Electrical configuration
Stage 3: Prototype Validation and Adjustments
Prototype samples make the agreed dimensions, assembly, installation, finish and lighting performance available for practical review and adjustment.
- Sample development
- Fit and assembly
- Installation review
- Design adjustment
Stage 4: Production Preparation and Approval
Testing findings, the approved configuration, inspection requirements and controlled documentation are reviewed before the project is released for production.
- Validation review
- Production documentation
- Quality checkpoints
- Configuration approval
A Controlled Route
