Consumer Electronics
White-label IoT product engineering for OEM brands - hardware design, firmware, cloud and certification - from concept through CE/UKCA/FCC submission.
IoT-WorkS develops white-label connected products for OEM brands: hardware design, firmware, cloud backend and companion app, with CE, UKCA, FCC, RED, RoHS and REACH submission packs prepared in-house. One team carries a product from concept through certification to production.
Where we deploy
3 typical use casesConnected-product design + build
PCB design, mechanical, firmware, cloud - full-stack hardware product engineering for consumer-brand OEMs. Your brand on the case; our engineering team behind the device.
Certification & compliance
CE, UKCA, FCC, RED, RoHS, REACH submission packs prepared in-house. Pre-compliance testing, EMC fixes, paperwork - we ship to market with you, not just to first article.
Cloud + companion app
Device-to-cloud architecture, OTA update infrastructure, optional companion mobile app. Same IoT-WorkS platform that runs our own products - white-labelled for yours.
What does white-label IoT product development include?
The whole path, because the gaps between suppliers are where projects fail. Industrial design and PCB layout, firmware with a realistic power budget, radio selection and antenna tuning, the cloud backend and its over-the-air update mechanism, an optional companion app, and the compliance evidence needed to sell. Brands come to us when a product needs to exist rather than when they want to manage four vendors.
- Hardware design, PCB layout and enclosure engineering
- Firmware, power budgeting and over-the-air update infrastructure
- Radio selection, antenna tuning and pre-compliance EMC testing
- Cloud backend, device management and optional companion app
Which certifications do you prepare for?
CE and UKCA for the UK and European markets, FCC for the United States, RED for radio equipment, plus RoHS and REACH for materials. Packs are prepared in-house, and pre-compliance testing happens before the formal test house visit - which is where most schedule slippage originates, because an EMC failure discovered at formal testing costs a respin and a booking slot rather than an afternoon.
Using the UKCA marking (gov.uk)How do you avoid radio compliance failures?
By treating the radio as a design constraint rather than a component choice. Antenna placement, ground-plane geometry and enclosure material affect radiated performance more than the module selection does, so those decisions are made at layout rather than discovered at test. Spectrum rules also differ by market, which is why the target markets need to be fixed before the radio is.
Ofcom spectrum information (ofcom.org.uk)Who owns the design and the tooling?
The client does. Schematics, layout files, firmware source and documentation are handed over, and manufacturing can move to whichever contract manufacturer the brand prefers. That is the practical meaning of white label: the product belongs to the brand, not to the engineering partner, and there is no dependency that makes changing supplier later expensive.
Every vertical runs on the same engines: AI Telemetry for sensor data, Engineering services for hardware + firmware + integration, the same platform for dashboards, alerts and compliance exports. The vertical changes the asset class and the regulatory frame; the stack underneath doesn't.
Frequently asked questions
- Which certification schemes do you cover?
- CE, UKCA, FCC, RED, RoHS and REACH. Submission packs are prepared in-house, with pre-compliance testing before the formal test house visit to avoid respins discovered at certification.
- Do we own the design files?
- Yes. Schematics, layout, firmware source and documentation are handed over, and manufacturing can move to whichever contract manufacturer you prefer with no lock-in to us.
- Can you supply the cloud and app as well as the device?
- Yes. Device-to-cloud architecture, over-the-air update infrastructure and an optional companion app are built on the same platform, which removes the integration gap between separately sourced suppliers.
- How do you reduce the risk of EMC failure?
- Radio performance is designed in rather than tested for: antenna placement, ground-plane geometry and enclosure materials are decided at layout, and pre-compliance testing happens before the formal test booking.
- Can you take over a project that has stalled?
- Often yes. We review the existing design and evidence first, then say plainly what is reusable and what needs rework rather than quoting a restart by default.
