Company & Manufacturing Relationship

Is YIOT Technology a trading company or a manufacturing partner?

Yiot Technology Co., Ltd. is the global sales and engineering headquarters supporting international customers. Injection molding and mold manufacturing are carried out at the Dongguan manufacturing base operated by Dongguan Aoyuan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. This gives overseas buyers a direct engineering and project-coordination channel connected to the manufacturing operation.

What is the relationship between YIOT Technology and Dongguan Aoyuan?

Yiot Technology Co., Ltd. handles global sales, project communication and engineering support. Dongguan Aoyuan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. is the manufacturing entity that operates the Dongguan production base. We do not describe the relationship as a parent, subsidiary or ownership structure unless supported by legal documentation.

Where is the injection molding and mold manufacturing facility located?

The manufacturing base is located at No.2 Jinlong Road, Jinxia Community, Changan Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China. The facility covers approximately 12,000 m².

Can customers arrange a factory audit?

Yes. Customers and authorized third parties may arrange factory audits and project evaluations. The audit scope, requested records, participants and schedule should be confirmed in advance.

Injection Molding, Tooling & Materials

What injection molding machine capacity is available?

The Dongguan manufacturing base operates 49 automated injection molding machines, all equipped with robots, with clamping forces from 90T to 1,200T. The installed fleet includes 34 Haitian machines and 15 Chen Hsong machines.

Which molding processes does YIOT support?

Verified processes include conventional injection molding, 2K or two-shot molding, insert molding, and IMD/IML. Final process selection depends on the part design, material combination, appearance requirements, production volume and validation needs.

Which plastic materials can you process?

The current materials list includes ABS, PC, PP, PA (Nylon 6 and Nylon 66), POM (Acetal), PBT, PPS, PEEK, TPU, TPE, PMMA (Acrylic), and glass-fiber reinforced compounds. Material selection is reviewed against mechanical, thermal, cosmetic, regulatory and cost requirements for each project.

What tolerances and machining accuracy can you achieve?

Injection-molded part tolerances must be evaluated for each project because they depend on part size, geometry, resin, wall thickness, mold construction and production conditions. CNC mold-component machining accuracy can reach up to ±0.003 mm for applicable features and project requirements. CMM equipment measurement accuracy can reach ±0.0005 mm; this is a measurement-equipment specification, not a universal molded-part or machining tolerance.

Do you provide free DFM analysis?

Yes. YIOT provides free DFM analysis before tooling when sufficient drawings and project information are available. The review can identify manufacturability risks and support decisions about parting lines, draft, gates, wall thickness, undercuts, ejection and other project-specific considerations.

Which industries do you serve?

YIOT supports projects in Automotive, Medical, Electronics and Industrial Equipment. Serving an industry does not by itself imply possession of every industry-specific certification; required standards and validation documents should be defined during quotation.

Lead Time, Quotation & Production Planning

What is the typical lead time for a custom injection mold?

Typical custom mold lead time is 15–30 days, subject to mold complexity, cavity count, material, finish, validation and project requirements. The confirmed schedule is provided after engineering review.

How quickly can YIOT provide a quotation?

YIOT can provide a detailed custom quotation within 6 hours after sufficient project information is received. Missing drawings, material specifications, quantities, quality requirements or delivery details may extend the review time.

What information should I provide for an accurate RFQ?

For an accurate review, provide 2D drawings and 3D CAD files when available, resin or material requirements, expected order and annual volumes, color and surface-finish requirements, critical dimensions, validation or inspection requirements, packaging needs and the delivery destination.

What is the minimum order quantity for injection molding?

There is no single MOQ that applies to every custom project. The practical order quantity depends on part size, resin, tooling, setup, cycle time, quality requirements and packaging. Share the prototype, pilot-run and forecast production quantities so the team can propose a suitable manufacturing plan.

How much new mold capacity is available?

The in-house mold manufacturing operation supports 50+ new custom molds per month, depending on mold complexity, structure, project mix and scheduling. YIOT also has a company-confirmed 98%+ on-time delivery rate; the schedule for each project is agreed separately.

Quality, Inspection & Mold Life

What quality certification applies to the manufacturing base?

The Dongguan manufacturing base operated by Dongguan Aoyuan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. operates under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. This statement applies to the manufacturing base and should not be interpreted as an unverified industry-specific certification.

How are molded parts and mold components inspected?

Inspection planning is based on the drawing, critical dimensions and project requirements. The manufacturing base has in-house dimensional-inspection capability, including CMM and other inspection equipment. Required reports, sampling plans and acceptance criteria should be agreed before production.

What mold life can be expected?

Mold life is project-specific and depends on mold steel, tool design, resin and additives, part geometry, cycle conditions, production volume and maintenance. The target mold life and related maintenance responsibilities should be defined in the quotation and tooling agreement rather than treated as a universal guarantee.

Commercial, Logistics & After-sales

What payment terms apply to mold and production orders?

Payment terms are agreed for each project and stated in the approved quotation or contract. They can vary with tooling scope, production arrangement, validation milestones, order value and customer requirements.

Does YIOT support international logistics?

YIOT supports international project coordination and shipment planning. Available Incoterms, freight arrangements, export documents, customs responsibilities and delivery timing are confirmed according to the destination and project agreement.

Who owns the mold, and can it be stored or exported?

Mold ownership, storage location, maintenance responsibility, production use and any future export or transfer requirements should be stated in the quotation and tooling agreement before project launch. Buyers with specific tool-transfer requirements should include them in the RFQ.

How is mold maintenance handled?

Mold maintenance scope, frequency, responsibility and any related charges depend on where the tool is stored and produced, its design, resin, production volume and the commercial agreement. YIOT confirms the applicable maintenance plan for each project rather than making an unconditional lifetime-free-maintenance promise.

How are quality issues handled after production?

When a quality concern is reported, YIOT coordinates review of the specification, samples, inspection records and production information with the manufacturing team. Containment, root-cause analysis, corrective action, rework or replacement requirements and response timing are handled according to the confirmed issue and the applicable quality and commercial agreement.
