What we’ve built.

Twelve projects we can show: laboratory and clinical-research instruments, food automation and other machines, precision electronics, and wearables. Some of this work led to patents. We don’t name clients here.

A project we can’t show yet.

Into early production.

Smart insole prototype parts: a moulded insole and two circuit boards.

Smart insoles

What it is: Comfortable insoles that measure biomechanics with precision.
What we did: The project included:

Feasibility studies

Prototype development

Design of the insole and its pod

Supervision of the electronics subcontractor

A contribution to the core technology, under NDA

Result: early production of the mechanical parts, 50 units.

Main processing board on the bench, with ribbon cables and a USB device connected.

Main processing board

What it is: The main board of a portable device: processing and connectivity, power distribution, a battery charger, and analog and digital circuits to sense and control actuators.
What we did: We managed every stage: component selection, schematic and PCB design, the subcontracted assembly of the boards, and testing and validation before deployment.

Result: production of 20 units.

Out of the lab, into the field.

Dispensers of a salad and bowl making robot dropping ingredients into bowls.

Salad and bowl making robot

What it is: A robot that makes salads and bowls to order, taking orders online or from restaurant point-of-sale systems. Its ingredient-agnostic dispensing portions quickly and precisely, whatever the size, shape or texture of the ingredient.
What we did: The subsystems we developed:

Mechanical

Dispensing module (the core technology)

Bowl denester

Magnetic conveying system

Bowl elevator

Refrigeration

Design for food safety and easy cleaning

Modular hardware for rapid development

Electrical

Power panel electronics

Software

Firmware in Python and C

ROS 2 middleware

Web-based operator interface

Cloud connection and APIs

Machine-learning-ready data collection

Remote diagnostics and updates

Containerized software stack

Result: field testing in operation.

Snowsports smartwatch prototype seen from the front and from the side, on its strap.

Smartwatch for snowsports

What it is: A wrist controller for snowsports: music, an action camera and walkie-talkie, without taking your gloves off.
What we did: Low-power electronics with BLE, waterproofing, mechanical design, firmware and assembly of the units.

Result: from inception to 20 beta units in the field.

A bicycle locked into an orange and grey automated lock station on a sidewalk, beside a public bike rack.

Automated bike lock station

What it is: A station that locks and secures bikes in public parking locations.
What we did: Customer discovery to narrow the client’s concepts, then mechanical and electro-mechanical design, parts sourced and made with partners, and assembly and testing of the first unit.

Result: first unit in the field.

High-voltage power board mounted in an open black chassis on the bench, with heat sinks and wiring.

Precision high-voltage and mixed-signal electronics

What it is: A power board that supplies up to a few kilovolts with 0.1 V control accuracy, with its processor, analog and digital circuits optically isolated.
What we did: We designed the board from concept.

Result: prototypes in the field.

Core technology, made to work.

Novel molecule detection device

What it is: A molecule detection instrument based on high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry, working at atmospheric pressure.
The job: Our client had a scientific team and a wealth of ideas. They needed a way from concept to functional prototypes.
What we did: We turned their research into engineered prototypes and worked with their team to validate the science. The system included:

Flash heating

Micron-level precision mechanics

Specialty materials and surface finishes

Power electronics generating several kilovolts at 0.8–2.5 MHz, with variable frequency and duty cycle

An ionizer

Optimized aerodynamic flow

Optically isolated electronics

A cooling system

Result: the client’s core technology, after 1.5 years and hundreds of prototypes and experiments.

Novel laboratory instrument for breath analysis

What it is: An interface for mass spectrometers, optimized for breath analysis, that lets clinical and toxicology laboratories analyze nonvolatile species in breath.
What we did: We turned the client’s concepts into engineered prototypes and worked closely with their team to validate the science: temperature control, ionization, fluidic and gas flow regulation, precision mechanics, power electronics, geometry optimization, and integration with a mass spectrometer.

Result: after multiple iterations, a core part of the client’s technology portfolio.

Microfluidic breath analyzer

What it is: A breath analysis technology using microfluidic sensors and machine learning algorithms, with a sterilization module, a sample preparation stage, a device recovery station and integrated battery charging.
What we did: Several rounds of prototypes: the soft-moulded enclosure, all electronics, actuators, internal mechanics and chambers, microfluidic sensor design, pneumatics and pressure tanks, a charging and purge station, and the casing.

Result: the technology was proven, and a team was formed around it.

Breath collection device

What it is: A device that collects breath samples in the field onto a novel cartridge. It measures sample volume, flow, temperature and CO₂, so that samples are standardized.
What we did: The first prototype was outsourced to save time. Tests and science experiments with it showed the cartridges and the collection method had to change, so we designed and built several rounds of prototypes.

Result: ready for clinical studies.

Femto current amplifier for ion detection

What it is: Three linear, low-noise transconductance amplifiers with sensitivity in the femtoamp range and a digital output.
What we did: Our client first had a subcontractor design it, and we managed the project from its early stages. We tested, redesigned and optimized it.

Result: higher sensitivity, lower noise and less susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

Industrial food dispensing machine

What it is: A proof-of-concept ingredient dispensing machine for food packing and meal-prep operations.
What we did: A feasibility study, proof-of-concept renderings, an alpha prototype for customer presentation, and the core ingredient-agnostic technology, which we developed.

Result: alpha prototype validated.
