Stock for mini-grid projects

Mini-grid products are kept in stock. Confirm the model, configuration and quantity to reserve for your rollout.

Service provider in Nigeria

An existing Nigeria service provider works alongside direct technical support from our China headquarters.

Response within 2 h / 12 h

China headquarters responds within 2 hours during its business hours and within 12 hours outside them. This is the initial response time; resolution depends on the issue.

We are developing service-provider cooperation in additional countries. Discuss a service partnership

Three supply formats, one agreed product configuration

OEM: complete meters for your product offer

Finished-meter cooperation for partners who need a market-ready hardware supply format. Agree model selection, branding, labels, packaging, configuration and the documents needed for your destination and customer.

SKD: assemblies for local completion

Semi-knocked-down supply supports a defined set of local assembly and finishing operations. Agree which assemblies arrive completed, the remaining operations, tools, inspection points and final-release responsibility.

CKD: components for a broader local assembly scope

Completely knocked-down cooperation is structured around an agreed bill of materials and assembly boundary. Define component supply, local sourcing, process documentation, production testing and configuration control together.

Define the cooperation package

Use this scope checklist to turn manufacturing capability into a clear quotation and handover plan. The signed project scope identifies the deliverables for your chosen model.

Hardware and supply boundary

Identify the meter, enclosure, keypad or CIU, communication option and packaging. Mark every item as supplied complete, supplied as an assembly, supplied as a component or sourced locally.

Branding and product configuration

Agree artwork, serial-number rules, meter labels, approved firmware/configuration versions, language and tariff requirements. Keep the released configuration traceable through samples and production batches.

Assembly and testing handover

Define work instructions, tools and fixtures, operator training, incoming checks, calibration arrangements, functional checks, traceability records and the final inspection plan.

Lifecycle and technical support

Agree engineering-change approval, spare-part needs, fault analysis, return handling and support escalation. Set responsibilities for firmware updates and any change requiring renewed product assessment.

From approved sample to a repeatable production process

Proposed cooperation workflow. The test plan below is a planning framework; project-specific test records and acceptance limits are supplied for the agreed configuration.

1. Freeze requirements and samples

Review the target specification, supply format and bill of materials. Approve reference samples and record the hardware, firmware, artwork and communication versions.

2. Check incoming items and assemble

Define component and assembly acceptance checks, then document the local assembly sequence, workmanship criteria and traceability. Train the operators for the agreed operations.

3. Verify metrology and functions

Set calibration and accuracy-test conditions appropriate to the meter and service. Check display, inputs/outputs, credit functions, communications and configured load-control or valve behaviour using the applicable model procedures.

4. Review compliance and release the batch

Separate routine production checks from type testing and protocol certification. Confirm the applicable certificate/model/firmware scope, resolve nonconformities and retain the agreed inspection records before release.

Documentation for your technical review

The following references are transcribed from supplied company documents. Request the applicable copies and current status for your bid or product configuration. Management-system scope and product/firmware compliance are distinct; a family certificate does not automatically cover every assembled variant.

Buyer questions

What OEM, SKD and CKD supply formats does CalinMeters offer?

CalinMeters offers established manufacturing cooperation including complete OEM meters, SKD assemblies for local completion and CKD component supply for a broader local assembly scope. The cooperation package defines the model, bill of materials, branding, firmware, local operations, testing, training and production-release responsibilities.

What information starts a local meter manufacturing quotation?

Send the target market and customer specification, preferred OEM, SKD or CKD format, expected volume, current assembly and test equipment, local-sourcing requirements, branding and firmware needs, and launch schedule. This allows the teams to agree the supply boundary, sample approval, tooling, training and acceptance plan.

Does an existing certificate automatically cover an OEM or CKD configuration?

No. Check the legal manufacturer, model, hardware, firmware, communication profile and scope on the applicable document. Changes to branding, manufacturing arrangements or product configuration may require further assessment. Management-system certificates, protocol compliance and destination-market approval serve different purposes.
