Active-Edge Solutions Ltd

One team across hardware, software and manufacture.

Active-ESL exists to remove the gaps that turn promising connected-device prototypes into expensive product dead ends.

Active-ESL embedded engineering and production test environment

Our model

Complete platforms, not disconnected work packages

We combine reusable boards, embedded Linux and Zephyr software, secure delivery and manufacturing support. Customers can evaluate quickly, build their application and retain a credible path into volume.

Where custom engineering fits

When a standard board is not enough, we adapt form factor, interfaces, sensing, communications and software while preserving as much of the proven platform as possible.

Leadership

Three disciplines. One product outcome.
