What the client asked for.
Woosh Air sells smart HVAC air filtration to homes in the US. The product is a reusable smart filter frame with sensors, folding MERV 13 filter refills and an Air Quality Monitor, model AQM-1A-1, built around an Espressif ESP32-WROOM-32E module.
Electronics, plastic parts and filters were all made in China. Woosh asked us for complete alternate sourcing: every part family reviewed, each one made where it gives the best result, and every order still delivered to customers in the US.
Every part family, made where it fits.
- PCB and PCBA China India Moved
- Plastic parts China India Moved
- MERV 13 filters China China Stayed
- Packed and shipped India + China US To customers
Step by step, decision by decision.
The real choices behind the result, in the order we made them.
- 01
Split the product by part family
We treated electronics, plastics and filters as three separate sourcing decisions, so each part family could go where it performs best instead of moving everything at once.
OutputPart-family sourcing plan - 02
Electronics to India
PCB fabrication and PCB assembly moved from China to India. The boards are built around the Espressif ESP32-WROOM-32E module that powers the Air Quality Monitor.
OutputIndian PCB and PCBA supply - 03
Plastic parts to India
The plastic parts moved to India too, so the electronics and the parts they fit into now come from the same country.
OutputIndian plastics supply - 04
Filters stay in China
Filter manufacturing stayed in China. We moved only what made the business stronger, and kept the filter line where it already ran well.
OutputRetained filter supply - 05
Packed and shipped to the US
Everything is packed and shipped to customers in the US, with parts from two countries arriving as one finished product.
