OUR CASE

• ODM full-chain customization empowers startup brands

  Background – In 2017, the domestic e-cigarette market was still a blue ocean. The startup brand RELX urgently needed high-quality products to penetrate the market, with the core objective being to break through the bottlenecks of traditional atomization technology and quickly achieve large-scale production. Cooperation Plan – FEELM, as an atomization solution provider, offered a full-chain ODM service from technology R&D and product design to customized production: jointly developing RELX’s first-generation product equipped with a black ceramic-coated atomizer core, optimizing the airflow channel and condensate storage structure through 14 parts to solve common industry problems such as rough taste and leakage; and custom-designing a dedicated factory, streamlining the design, R&D, and production processes, and introducing fully automated equipment to ensure quality and production capacity. Implementation Process – In the initial stage of the collaboration, product technology verification was completed. After the launch of the first generation of RELX in August 2018, orders surged. FEELM increased production by 160 times within 17 months through process optimization, with monthly production capacity of atomizing cartridges exceeding 10 million units. During the 2020 pandemic, comprehensive epidemic prevention measures ensured zero-infection resumption of work, while optimizing production processes reduced unit energy consumption by more than 20%. Facing global regulatory changes, FEELM assisted in completing compliance upgrades such as tobacco flavor development and waterproof child lock design. Results – RELX quickly captured half of the domestic market with its differentiated products, achieving a market share of over 50% in 2020. In January 2021, it successfully went public in the US, with a market value that once reached 350 billion RMB. Its products cover more than 50 countries and regions worldwide, making it a phenomenal brand in the industry.

• Russian Compliance Traceability: Break Overseas Market Barriers

  In December 2024, Russia enforced the mandatory “honest labeling” policy for e-cigarettes, requiring all e-cigarettes and related products sold in the country to affix compliant data matrix codes. Non-compliant products are prohibited from circulation. A domestic e-cigarette export enterprise faced compliance challenges such as mismatched data formats and inefficient production line coordination, urgently needing to quickly implement an adaptive solution. Cooperation Plan — Zhongxuan HiMarking provided a one-stop service for the CheZNAK compliance traceability system, adopting a distributed architecture of “cloud data hub + workshop edge execution terminal” that fully aligns with Russian official technical specifications: the cloud terminal built three core modules (work order management, data governance, and compliance output) to realize accurate mapping between traders’ data packets and production work orders; the workshop was equipped with industrial-grade visual collection equipment, compliant label printers and other hardware to adapt to semi-automatic/fully automatic production line processes. Implementation Process — Completed full-process deployment within 7 working days after project initiation: received bottle/case code data packets from Russian traders, automatically verified and created associated production work orders through the cloud hub; deployed fully automatic high-precision labeling machines (labeling accuracy ±0.1mm) at the end of the filling line, quickly collected bottle codes through visual equipment (recognition accuracy ≥99.97%), synchronously generated and printed case codes, and established associations; automatically summarized data after production completion, generated compliant data packets in both XML/JSON formats, and submitted them to Russian traders for official filing. Results — The enterprise successfully broke through Russian market compliance barriers, with products smoothly entering local online and offline channels; the system realized full-link data traceability, supporting random inspections by Russian authorities and effectively avoiding counterfeiting risks; the production line had strong adaptability, seamlessly connecting with existing MES/ERP systems without affecting normal production efficiency, helping the enterprise quickly seize market share in Russia.
