From design and prototyping to manufacture and distribution, we manage the full lifecycle of product creation
In-house design
and development
Our product designers and engineers are experts in electronics, embedded software and physical product design.
High-tech
UK manufacturing
Our 5,000sqm facility allows us to manage every stage of development and manufacture.
Quality
assurance
All our production capabilities comply with the highest quality standards and regulatory requirements.
Tried and tested product design process
In addition to our in-house product designers and engineers, we can bring in specialist design expertise as needed. Our entire process, from defining the requirements to designing and engineering hardware and software, draws on our 60 years’ experience in electronic product design.
We’re also well versed in designing for manufacture, ensuring you get the quality and performance you need, within the required timescales and at the most affordable price.
A vertically integrated manufacturing approach
Our state-of-the-art UK manufacturing facility offers end-to-end production facilities, from automated electronics surface mounting, injection moulding, assembly and inspection, to precision hand assembly, test and packaging processes.
Quality and environmental management assured
Quality checks are built in to every stage of the process and sophisticated test equipment allows us pinpoint and correct issues as soon as they arise. All our products are fully tested internally to ensure they are fit for purpose, reliable, robust and compliant with safety and industry standards. Finally, they’re approved by third-party test bodies. If a quality issue is identified we’ll correct it quickly in house, meaning no product will leave our premises unless we’re completely confident it meets your needs.
Our story

Our wireless smart repeater is a cost-effective way to increase sensors’ range, allowing them to transmit data over a larger distance or where obstructions occur.
Measure the ambient temperature in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Our three-channel temperature sensors measure temperature at up to three different points, and can be used for water, air or surface temperature measurements.
Our smart gateways receive live data from multiple sensors and securely send it to your preferred on-premise or cloud platform, via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi. Enabling you to easily integrate sensor data into your systems.
Accurately detect the presence of people sitting around a table. The small, discreet sensors simply stick to the underside of the table and send an instant update when occupancy is detected.
Detect people going in and out of a single doorway. The small sensors are mounted above a doorway and send a message wirelessly each time a person enters or exits through the doorway.
Automatically detect open doors or windows around your building, including doors on cupboards, cabinets and fridges. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure the ambient temperature and relative humidity in each room, cabinet or zone. The small sensors are wireless and solar-powered sensors, making them easy to install and zero maintenance.
Measure ambient carbon dioxide (CO2), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter (PM1/2.5/4/10), temperature and relative humidity, all in a single sensor.
Monitor occupancy, light, sound, temperature and humidity, all in a single sensor. Producing near real-time, highly accurate data which you can use to ensure your room conditions are at optimum levels at all times.
Measure the energy consumption in any single-phase or three-phase cable from 1-600A. Wireless and self-powered, so they’re non-intrusive and maintenance-free.
Monitor the status of any equipment that has a dry contact output, such as UPS status, security systems, fire alarms or air conditioning units. They’re wireless and self-powered, making them easy to install and maintenance-free.
Turn ‘dumb’ meters into ‘smart’ meters. Pulse counters report the number of pulses from electricity (per kWh), water (per m³), or general meters (per count), as well as machinery and equipment with a pulse output.
