Production starts after the fixture implementation is verified and the App Library data is prepared. In production, every physical fixture must receive the correct Vision firmware/data, the correct App Control Configuration, and a valid production license.

Before production

• The fixture firmware is final or production-approved.
• The App Control Configuration matches the final firmware.
• The fixture entry exists in the Vision App Library.
• The fixture was verified with the implementation verification tool.
• Production licenses are available for the company.
• The production station can flash, update, and test the Vision module.

Production flow

1. Purchase production licenses: make sure enough licenses are available before building a batch.
2. Flash the Vision module: program the Vision module with the correct bootloader or production flash file for the selected hardware module.
3. Update the Vision module: if the production flash file does not already contain the final app data, update the module with the final App Control Configuration in the Vision Control App.
4. License the Vision module: activate the production license for each fixture through the License Manager.
5. Verify the first production samples: check discovery, connection, App Control, DMX Control, RDM data, firmware version, and optional features.
6. Finish market preparation: apply required Vision logo or sticker information and complete certification-related tasks.

Flash file or app update

For small batches or development samples, it is often fine to update App Control Configuration through the app. For larger production runs, a production flash file can reduce manual steps because the required Vision data is already included during flashing.

If the product uses custom hardware or a custom firmware workflow, also check the custom production flash file documentation.

Production sample check

Always test at least the first units of a production batch with the final app release data. A sample that was only tested with development data is not enough for production approval.
