LaMetric Edge Box and its packaging

Connected devices engineered for production and years in the field

Smart Atoms is the engineering team behind LaMetric. Since 2013 we have designed, manufactured and operated our own connected devices, now running in 20+ countries in a fleet scaling toward 100,000. We bring the same team to your product across the whole lifecycle: architecture, embedded software, cloud, manufacturing, security and fleet operations, and rescue when a project is stuck.

Our own products

We've already done what you're about to do

Most engineering firms build to a spec and hand over. We are a product company. We have lived through our own production ramps, field failures and BOM pressure, so we design yours to avoid them.

Designed

LaMetric TIME won a Red Dot Design Award in 2016 and still went into volume production. We design products that look good and can be built at volume, so your design survives the factory.

Red Dot Design Award 2016

Manufactured

Taken into volume production with Foxconn, with our own test and provisioning tools.

Industries we build for

Built for industries where devices can't fail quietly

Products that run for a decade, update over the air and have to pass the factory, not just the lab.

Whole lifecycle

One team from concept to fleet

Electronics, firmware, embedded Linux, cloud, manufacturing and operations under one roof. No hand-offs between vendors, and no gaps for problems to hide in.

Case studies

Proof from the field

Products we have taken from problem to production.

Service technician updating an EV charger with a laptop

How we added a verified boot chain, encrypted storage and a secure flashing tool to a European OEM’s Linux EV chargers, including units already installed, without changing the hardware.

Operator using an industrial HMI touch panel on a food production line

How we cut the boot time of a Linux-based HMI panel from about 55–60 to 10 seconds with software alone, so operators never lose sight of live production data after a restart.

Our software stack

Open technology, chosen for your product

From bootloader to cloud we pick open, maintainable technology for each product, so you own it and can support it for years.
