End-to-End Custom Hardware Solutions
We specialise in turning your ideas into tangible solutions. We start by taking your requirements and quickly creating a specification. Our multi-disciplinary team of industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, and software developers then works diligently to build a first proof of concept prototype for you to evaluate. With our quick turnaround times, you will be able to see your concept turned into reality in no time.
Your Requirements, Our Expertise
Our custom hardware service is not just about creating a product; it’s about finding the best solution to your problem. Whether it’s achieving interoperability between legacy hardware, reducing the cost of purchasing off-the-shelf hardware, getting around supply issues, or reducing system complexity, we use our expertise in various fields, such as PCB Design, Mechanical Design, Enclosure Design, Wiring Loom Design, Firmware Design, Software Design, Electronic Design, Wireless Design, and Low Power Design, to come up with a solution that’s just right for you.
Scale as You Need
No matter the volume, we can manufacture your hardware. Whether you need one prototype or thousands of units, we are able to scale our manufacturing process to meet your demand. This flexibility allows you to take control of your hardware manufacturing, reducing lead times and costs.
