16.7 Manufacturer

Manufacturer refers to a party who manufactures components, so it can also be a vendor at the same time.

Manufacturer is used to identify the manufacturer’s information, which has no direct business relations with us, so the information in the “Update” interface of a manufacturer is quite simple, including the basic information of the manufacturer, description in languages, and contact information.
