Custom electronics and firmware
Design and assembly of electronic circuits, firmware and control software for products that do not exist on the market.
Hardware and IoT
Custom electronics, firmware and IoT design
We design the board, program the firmware and develop the application that manages it. Custom products for businesses, public administrations and research groups, from idea to validated device.

Hardware design
Products that don't exist on the market, designed for your case
Since our early projects with the University of Granada, we have continued to research and innovate in hardware design, for companies and research groups looking for custom solutions that off-the-shelf products cannot provide.
We specialise in the design and assembly of electronic circuits. We start from your requirements, develop all the hardware, software and firmware components and finish with the verification and validation of the design. The result is equipment that is tailored and up to date, without the risk of it quickly becoming obsolete.
Capabilities
Electronics, communications and identification
One team for electronics, firmware and software: fewer points of contact and fewer integration problems.
Prototyping
Working prototypes with 3D-printed industrial design so you can check the result before manufacturing.
IoT and sensors
Connected devices that measure, transmit and act remotely, using the communication technology that best suits each installation.
RFID and biometrics
RFID or Mifare card identification, fingerprint recognition and electronic locks integrated into your system.
Readers and kiosks
Spanish electronic ID card (DNIe) and smart card readers, and self-service kiosks with electronics and software designed in-house.
Home and building automation
Custom components and hardware for building control and energy efficiency installations and projects.
Sectors
Custom electronics for public administrations, businesses and research
Public authorities
Supplies of our own design: remote control, signalling, readers and kiosks for public-facing services.
Industry
Process control (temperature, pressure, gas injection, motors) and electronic verification equipment.
Universities and research
Custom instrumentation and equipment for research groups that cannot find what they need on the market.
Buildings
Home automation, building automation and distributed control for energy efficiency.
Remote control
Remote units for municipal infrastructure and services
We design equipment that works far away, with little supervision and limited communications, and that must keep working for years after installation.
Remote control of water networks
Remote terminal units for water supply networks: reading sensors and meters, operating equipment and sending alarms and data to the control centre.
Traffic lights and signalling
Electronics and control for traffic lights and signalling elements, adapted to the needs of each installation.
Communications for remote control
As early as 2014 we developed Telerel, our own GSM/GPRS communications system for remote control, which forms the basis of our remote units.
M2M communications we work with
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- Zigbee
- GSM / GPRS
- GPS
- RFID / Mifare
- TCP/IP
Our own hardware in production
The electronics already at work in our solutions
Our products combine software and hardware designed in-house. They are the best example of what we can do for your project.
CIGES
Our own self-service kiosks and call displays for appointment booking and queue management.

Technology partner
Authorized Microchip Design Partner
We are an Authorized Microchip Design Partner, a design partner of one of the manufacturers of microcontrollers and components we use in our boards.
Our R&D&I management system is certified to ISO 56001 and we apply that methodology to every design. Discover our R&D&I projects or how we apply distributed control to building energy efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about hardware design
What do I need to commission a custom hardware design?
All you need is a clear idea of the problem you want to solve. We gather the requirements with you and, when the project calls for it, draw up a technical and economic feasibility plan before starting the design.
Do you also handle manufacturing and CE marking?
Yes. Once the prototype is finished and approved, we can take care of production, certification and CE marking of the product.
Do you also develop the software and firmware?
Yes. We design the electronics, program the firmware and develop the management application, so everything fits together without adapters. See our custom software development service.
What communication technologies do you use?
We work with M2M wireless communications such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GPRS and GPS, as well as wired TCP/IP networks. We choose the technology according to range, power consumption and available coverage.
Do you work with research groups?
Yes. We offer hardware design both to companies and to research groups looking for custom solutions that off-the-shelf products cannot provide. We started out as a Junior Enterprise of the University of Granada and continue to collaborate with it on R&D&I projects.
Need a device you can't find on the market?
Tell us what you want to measure, control or identify and we'll study its feasibility with you.
