Custom Induction Solutions: From OEM to Smart Cooktops

Considering an induction cooktop launch—or adding smart features to your line? You’re in the right spot.
Custom induction solutions allow brands to customize everything from heating performance to the user interface (and even the app), which means the end product is tailored to your market.
Whether you’re an appliance brand, a kitchen manufacturer, a hospitality group, or a retailer with a private-label program, here’s the best way to launch smart, connected cooktops from OEM basics—without the hassle.
OEM vs. ODM: What’s the difference?
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
The fastest way to market with the proven H-One platform. Start with the H-One platform and customize the basic features as you want, branding, fascia, power level, control layout, accessories, packaging, etc.
- ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)
Customization is more elaborate. We would either co-design or complete design to your specifications, zone count, coil topology, firmware logic, thermal design, and smart features, with us doing the engineering, certifications, and manufacturing.
Think of OEM as “customize a finished suit” and ODM as “tailor a suit from the fabric up.”
What can you customize on an induction cooktop?
Here’s a practical menu of options—mix and match to build the perfect model:
- Form factor & layout
- Portable/tabletop vs. built-in
- 1, 2, 3, 4 (or more) zones
- Horizontal, vertical, or bridge/linked zones
- Compact 60 cm, standard 75/80 cm, or designer sizes
- Heating performance
- Total wattage and per-zone output (e.g., 1.8 kW, 2.1 kW, boosters)
- Coil size and topology for pan detection accuracy
- Power sharing logic for multi-zone balance
- Simmer stability, low-power control for delicate tasks
- Controls & UI
- Touch sliders, step keys, or knob-style interfaces
- LED segment vs. TFT displays
- Haptic feedback, sound cues, on-glass icons
- Multilingual UI and regional presets
- Safety features
- Child lock, auto shutoff, residual heat indicators
- Overheat protection, dry-pan detection
- Spill detection and auto-pause
- Glass strength/spec (scratch and thermal shock ratings)
- Industrial design
- Bezel/no-bezel, glass color/print, iconography
- Venting paths and acoustic tuning (fan noise curve)
- Flush-mount vs. proud-mount aesthetics
- Accessories
