OEMgestützte

OEMgestützte refers to a design and production approach used in a wide range of industries, including technology, manufacturing, and more. The term "OEM" stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.

In this context, OEM describes a company or entity that produces goods or systems that are later used by other manufacturers as component parts for their own products. This can include everything from electronic components to entire systems.

In the realm of computer hardware and technology, OEM often refers to a practice where hardware companies design and build specific products for global technology companies, which then go on to market and distribute these goods under their own brand names.

One example of this is the OEM production of laptops and desktop computers by companies such as Dell, HP, or Lenovo on behalf of Original Equipment Marketers (OEM) like Microsoft or Intel. These OEM-supplied components are then used to build branded computers that can be sold in stores or online.

Another use of OEM relates to hardware development and manufacturing. In such cases, the OEM provides the essential hardware building blocks, like network switches, servers, or communication equipment, to the manufacturers who, in turn, integrate the OEM components into their own branded products, e.g. gateway routers.
