Case studies
How we work, told through our projects
Not just promises: real projects. Each case study highlights a specific technical challenge, how we solved it, and the final outcome, from circuit diagrams to mass production.
ODM Development · HVAC/IoT
From concept to mass production: OpenTherm remote boiler control
A smart wall-mounted thermostat that communicates wirelessly using only the two wires of the OpenTherm bus. Fully developed in-house: electronics, firmware, app, industrialisation, and mass production.
✓ Reached mass production, multi-configuration
ODM Development · IoT / Sanitisation
A remote-controlled UVC sanitiser: from concept to mass production
An electronic system that sanitises air and water using UVC lamps, featuring a remote dashboard and predictive maintenance. Developed from the initial idea through to mass production.
✓ Connected device in mass production
ODM Development · HVAC
A controller orchestrating multiple energy sources: from schematic to production
A controller that coordinates multiple energy sources—heat pumps, boilers, solar, and electric—and manages high-power cascade systems.
✓ Programmable controller in mass production
ODM Development · IoT / HVAC
A gateway that transforms consumption into reports: from development to mass production
A gateway that collects a building’s thermal consumption data, uploads it to the cloud, and enables cost allocation, with connectivity adaptable to any system.
✓ Programmable gateway in mass production
ODM Development · Lighting / IoT
A self-organising lamp that senses the environment: from development to mass production
A LED lamp that joins a mesh network with others, adapts light to the circadian cycle, and integrates on-board environmental sensors.
✓ Lighting system in mass production
Industrialisation
Unacceptable defect rates from the Far East: how we brought production back to Europe
A simple but critical PCB with unsustainable defect rates from a supplier in the Far East. AET80 re-industrialised the product and resourced production to Europe.
✓ Rejects eliminated from the line and production returned to Europe with no additional cost to the unit price
Co-design
From a hydronic requirement to 1.7 million units: co-design of a metering system
The co-design of a wireless system to measure and allocate heat in entire buildings: designed in-house and produced in over 1.7 million units.
✓ Over 1.7 million units produced in ~4 years; battery life over 10 years
Co-design
App-managed comfort: the co-design of a connected thermoregulation system
The co-design of a system of valves, sensors, and gateways that communicate wirelessly to manage home comfort via an app, delivering heat only when needed.
✓ System designed in-house, in mass production since late 2020; 64 zones / 8 time slots
