IoT Device Manufacturing
IoT devices need more than a bare board. They need to ship with firmware on them, with cloud-trusted identity, with a serial number that follows them through the field. We build that into production from the first batch.
Buyer pains we hear most
- Field-flashed firmware adds cost, scrap, and inconsistency
- Single-supplier risk for connected products under CRA scrutiny
- Provisioning to AWS, Azure, or custom PKI without exposing root keys
- Per-unit traceability for SBOM and security update obligations
Typical product traits
- BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, cellular, or Matter radio integration
- Secure element or eFuse-backed device identity
- Mixed-signal boards with sensor or actuator components
- Compact form factor with antenna placement constraints
Regulatory environment
EU Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU (RED)
Cyber Resilience Act
Regulation (EU) 2024/2847
ETSI baseline IoT security
EN 303 645
GDPR
Regulation (EU) 2016/679
Test plan considerations
- RF golden-unit calibration for transmit power and sensitivity
- EMC pre-scan to catch issues before notified-body testing
- Functional test of sensor inputs, actuator outputs, and radio link
- Provisioning verification: certificate validity, cloud enrollment confirmation
Frequently asked questions
Can you load and provision firmware in production?
Yes. In-line firmware loading during functional test and offline programming via dedicated fixtures. We support SWD, JTAG, UART, and USB-DFU interfaces, multi-image programming (bootloader, application, file system), and signed bootloader chains.
How do you handle embedded software and secure provisioning?
We support X.509 certificate enrollment, secure-element key injection (ATECC608, NXP EdgeLock), eFuse and OTP programming, and provisioning to AWS IoT Core, Azure DPS, and custom PKI. Private keys can be HSM-generated and never exposed to host systems.
How do you support Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) readiness for connected devices?
Production-side CRA support includes signed firmware enforcement, per-unit serialization for SBOM tracking, secure provisioning workflows, and documented test records. Product-side CRA obligations (vulnerability handling, security updates) remain with the OEM.
What is your minimum order quantity?
We work from pilot batches through repeat production. The sweet spot for our SMT line is low to medium volume, typically under 5000 units per batch with mixed-component boards. We plan capacity in advance during DFM and BOM review for larger volumes.
