Why HARDWARIO
We design it, test it and make it
- We are the authors
- We design the electronics, firmware and cloud ourselves, so we change a proven device instead of starting from zero.
- One place, one team
- Development, prototypes, testing and series production happen in Liberec, with a test record for every serial number.
- The right size
- More than 40 people: enough for series production, few enough that the engineers who designed your device talk to you.
- Proven where it is hard
- More than 7 000 devices in over 30 countries, from grain bins at −40 °C to Arctic slopes.
