How Batch Manufacturing Works

RevoFi devices are produced in manufacturing runs called batches. Understanding how this works helps you know what to expect from your order.

Why We Manufacture in Batches

RevoFi devices are custom-engineered hardware systems — not off-the-shelf products. Each unit combines a configurable compute module, dual-band WiFi 6 radios, a proprietary carrier board, and (in the case of the Link Pro) a 5G cellular module. Manufacturing these devices is a precision process that requires committing to a production run at scale.

⚖

Economies of Scale

Component procurement, tooling, and quality control are all substantially more economical at volume. Batch production of 1,000+ units reduces per-unit cost while allowing factory resources to be dedicated to a single production configuration.

📦

Minimum Order Quantities

RevoFi’s suppliers — including NVIDIA (compute modules), AsiaRF (WiFi radio cards), and Telit (5G modules) — require minimum purchase commitments. We cannot source a single unit of each component. Production runs are planned around these supplier minimums.

🛡

Quality Control

A production batch is tested as a unit — firmware loaded uniformly, hardware validated against a single spec sheet, and shipment coordinated as a single factory release. This ensures that every device in your batch meets the same standard.

How a Batch Works

Each batch has a target capacity of 1,000 devices. Orders from the RevoFi shop and from channel partners are assigned to the current open batch. When the batch fills, it locks for manufacturing. Every order follows the same path through our manufacturing process.

The Batch Lifecycle

1
Open
Accepting orders. Assigned automatically at checkout.
2
Filling
Past 50% capacity. Still accepting orders.
3
Locked
Closed for manufacturing. Refund window closes here.
4
Manufacturing
Devices being built at the factory.
5
Shipped
Left the factory. Individual fulfillment begins.
6
Complete
All orders in this batch have been fulfilled.

Note: Batch statuses only move forward. A locked batch cannot be reopened. A batch currently listed as “Filling” means it has passed 50% capacity — it remains open and accepting orders until it locks.

How to Order

1

Browse the shop

Choose your model (RevoFi Link or Link Pro), power plug type, and storage tier.

2

Complete checkout

Create an account and complete payment. Your order is confirmed immediately and assigned an order number.

3

Batch assignment

Your order is automatically placed into the current open manufacturing batch. You will see your batch number in the Batch Tracker.

4

Monitor your batch

Track your batch at any time on the Batch Tracker. Enter your order number to see your specific batch and its current status.

5

Fulfillment

Once your batch ships, your order is fulfilled and shipped to your delivery address via FedEx.

Your order number is permanent. It is assigned at checkout and never changes. You can always look up your batch using it on the Batch Tracker.

Refunds and the Batch Lock Window

Before your batch locks

You can request a full refund at any time before your batch is locked. Visit My Account → Orders and select Request a Refund, or contact [email protected]. When you refund before lock, your slot in the batch is released.

When a batch locks

When a batch moves to Locked, the production run has been committed to the factory. Components are on order and assembly is scheduled. At this point, we cannot return a unit to inventory, and refund eligibility ends.

After lock

Orders are not eligible for standard refunds after batch lock. In cases of manufacturing defects or fulfillment failures, our support team will review each case individually. For all support inquiries, contact [email protected].

How to know when your batch locks

Monitor your batch status on the Batch Tracker. When the status changes from Filling to Locked, the refund window has closed. We recommend checking your batch status before the Filling stage if you are considering a refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Orders are paid in full at checkout. Your payment reserves your slot in the next available manufacturing batch.
Each batch has a target capacity of 1,000 devices. The Batch Tracker shows the current fill level for the active batch.
No. Each order is assigned to exactly one batch. If you place multiple separate orders, each may be assigned to different batches depending on fill level at the time of purchase.
Your order will remain in processing status and be assigned to the next batch that opens. There is no additional charge — your order holds your place in the queue.
Visit the Batch Tracker and enter your order number. You will see your batch number and its current status.
Contact [email protected] as soon as possible. We may be able to adjust your configuration (plug type, storage tier) before your batch locks. After lock, changes are not possible.
Channel partner orders are manually assigned to batches by the RevoFi team. Contact your account manager or [email protected] to confirm your batch assignment and status.
No. RevoFi does not publish or guarantee delivery windows. Manufacturing timelines depend on component availability, factory scheduling, and logistics. The Batch Tracker reflects status updates as they occur.
In the event a batch cannot be completed, all affected orders will be refunded in full — regardless of batch lock status. RevoFi will notify affected customers by email immediately.
