PCB design, embedded firmware, BLE and wireless, edge devices. We design and build hardware for energy and IoT — from the first scrappy prototype to the unit that ships and then has to keep working long after we've gone home.
Off-the-shelf is almost always the right answer, and we'll tell you so even though it's the cheaper advice to give. But every so often a problem genuinely has no catalogue part — wrong price, wrong size, wrong sensor, wrong way of installing it. That's when bespoke earns its place, and the real trick isn't the design; it's hitting the cost target and then building something that shrugs off a decade in a plant room, not just a tidy afternoon on the bench.
“Designing the device is the easy part. The discipline is judging when bespoke is worth it — and then hitting a price the field can actually afford.”
Pin down the real constraints: cost target, environment, range, power and who installs it.
Breadboard to first PCB. Prove the concept against the actual problem, fast.
Embedded firmware with data integrity, power management and field-update paths.
Iterate against real pilot feedback — the field always finds what the bench misses.
Design for manufacture, certification and scale.
Devices we designed, built and put in the field.
A $20 IoT illumination sensor that non-technical staff magnetically self-install in minutes — replacing certified-electrician CT metering and cutting install cost 30%.
View project →Bluetooth 5.1 CTE direction-finding with custom tags and anchors to locate individual interior components for circular-economy reuse.
View project →Bespoke revenue-grade meter and gateway hardware behind one of Ireland's most successful energy-conservation programmes.
View project →A simple red/amber/green efficiency display, engineered for the bridge, that drove 10%+ fuel savings at the controls.
View project →Only when the problem genuinely demands it — a cost target, form factor, sensor or installation model that no catalogue part meets. We'll tell you honestly when off-the-shelf is the better call.
Yes — cost is a design input from day one. The Lighting Logger, for example, was engineered to a $20 unit price specifically so it could scale, with self-installation removing the electrician from every deployment.
Yes. We go from first prototype through pilot iteration to design-for-manufacture, certification support and supply chain — not just a bench demo.
Bluetooth 5.1 (including CTE direction-finding and channel sounding), LoRa, cellular, powerline and NFC/QR field tooling — chosen to fit the range, power and cost of the job.
From first prototype to production-ready unit — designed to hit a real cost target and survive the field.
