From an idea to a working prototype. From a prototype to thousands of units per year.
Connectia designs and manufactures consumer, industrial and IoT products. Our engineers have taken products from a first sketch to thousands of units a year across industries.
Electronics, software, mechanical design, and sourcing in one team
Handling this in-house means four hires: electrical, firmware, mechanical, and procurement officer. That's payroll you're carrying whether or not you have work for them that month. With Connectia, you get all four for exactly as long as your project needs them. One team handles the schematic, the firmware, the enclosure, and the BOM, all at once, not queued up behind each other. A part goes out of stock? The design gets reworked in days, not months, so your production run doesn't stall. And if your product needs to talk to the cloud, we build that too, the API, the customer portal, all of it.
An idea, a revision, or a design that stalled
Send us the sketch, the product you're already selling and want to fix, or the design that stalled when the engineer who owned it walked out the door. We'll look at what you have and tell you straight: what's worth keeping, what needs to be rebuilt, and what it'll cost. You'll know all that before you commit to anything. And if what you actually need is a design review or a go-to-market plan instead of a full build, that's what we'll quote you. We're not going to sell you more than the job calls for.
A working prototype in 12 weeks
Twelve weeks covers the schematic, the printed circuit board layout, the firmware, the enclosure, and a unit you can power on and test. A larger scope means a later date, and you get that date before you sign.
Start at 10 units, scale to thousands
Ten units is the minimum for a low volume run, and we build them ourselves in our own shop. Medium volume runs go to manufacturing partners we qualify and manage, quoted per project.
You see every design decision
Every week you get an email with what we built, what broke, and what it means for your date. Ask for a video call at any point in the project and you get one. What your budget or timeline won't cover, you hear before you sign, not in week 10.
Case studies
Tank monitoring wired into the systems they already run
Someone used to walk to each propane tank, read the level, and write it down. Every tank now reports its own level, and the readings sit in one place instead of on paper. Auditing an asset takes a query. What changed the most is the API: their existing software pulls the readings directly, so the numbers reach the systems they decide with, and nobody retypes them.
A fuel cutoff module, from idea to thousands of units a year
A bi-fuel vehicle runs on gasoline and on LPG or CNG. The moment it switches to gas, the gasoline pump keeps running dry and burns out. Our client wanted a module that cuts the pump before that happens, and we took it from idea to a product they now ship by the thousands every year. An engine bay is a hard place for electronics: heat, vibration, and an electrical system that spikes and drops every time the engine cranks. The module holds up there, and it is the part of their kit their competitors don't have.
