# Hardware design & manufacturing

Axio Intelligence designs and manufactures connected hardware alongside the software that runs on it — electronics, enclosures, design for manufacturing, factory test and provisioning, and production builds — so one team is accountable from the circuit board to the cloud console.

[Scope your project](https://axiointelligence.com/book/) 

## You probably need this if…

- You have a proven prototype and need a build that survives weather, vibration and installers.

- Your hardware and software vendors blame each other when units fail in the field.

- Factory provisioning — certificates, SIM profiles, serial numbers — is manual and error-prone.

## What you get

### Electronics & enclosure

Schematic, PCB layout, antenna placement and ruggedised enclosures for the operating environment.

### Design for manufacturing

BOM optimisation, second-source components and documented country of origin when your program requires it.

### Factory test & provisioning

Test fixtures, burn-in, and automated provisioning of device identity, certificates and SIM profiles.

### Production builds

Pilot runs through production quantities with traceability from serial number to firmware version.

## What we work in

PCB design, RF & antenna integration, IP-rated enclosures, DFM / DFT, Factory provisioning, Device PKI

Named platforms and standards describe what we build with and build to; they don’t imply a formal partnership or certification with the vendor.

Typical engagement

**Shape:** Design review, then prototype and pilot-run builds

**Timeline:** Varies by design maturity — scoped after review

**Pricing:** Fixed fee, quoted after scoping

**IP:** You own the code and designs

## Where we’ve done this

Automotive · dealer telematics

### Dealer telematics and lot management, rebuilt from scratch

Axio built the platform end to end — software, hardware sourcing, field testing and production rollout.

## Hardware design & manufacturing: common questions

### Can you build hardware and write the firmware and cloud software?

Yes. That is the point: one accountable team from the board to the console, so provisioning, OTA and field diagnostics are designed into the hardware from the start.

### Can you work from our existing design?

Yes. Most engagements start from an existing prototype or production design; we review it for manufacturability, connectivity and field reliability before building.

## Often paired with

### New product line platforms

The full platform for a new division: portals, commerce, billing, integrations.
