Bring an idea, sketch, CAD model, sample or released production package. We scope and manage the work needed to deliver a functional prototype, tested part or repeatable manufactured product.
Bring production files, artwork, a sample or a test profile. Studio operates suitable equipment and delivers the agreed part, batch, observation or report.
Bring an idea, sketch or early model. We add CAD and DFM as far as the output needs, make a functional sample and iterate toward a named decision.
Bring a stable product definition. We can coordinate sourcing, EMS, assembly, agreed production tests, packaging and fulfilment.
We review the geometry, material, finish, quantity and intended use, then operate a suitable 3D-printing, large-format or CNC process. Our team operates the equipment, so you receive a finished part.
We turn approved artwork and product requirements into agreed product branding or decorative output, with process, material, finish and acceptance reviewed before production.
We clarify the physical requirement, create or adjust the model, advise on process and material, and produce a functional sample for a named decision.
We run an agreed functional or environmental profile and deliver the agreed observations or report, supporting your development or release decision. The test is non-accredited — an authority approval or accredited certificate comes from a qualified laboratory.
For a stable product definition, Studio coordinates the supply chain and the operations needed to make and deliver repeat units. In-house and partner roles are named in the scope.
Studio builds electronics and finished products in low volume, where a full production line is not the answer yet. We buy the parts, populate and assemble the boards, run the agreed tests, pack the units and send them where they are needed. Single pieces are welcome, and so are repeat batches.
We start by reading your design: drawings, BOM and production data, what the product has to survive and how it should be tested. The review names the manufacturability questions, the missing inputs and the build and test plan we would quote.
Materials and components are bought against your BOM. We flag long-lead and end-of-life parts early and agree every substitution with you before it goes into a build.
First boards are populated by hand in the Studio workshop, so a design can be measured before anyone commits to production tooling. Suitable for prototypes, design iterations and very small runs.
Through-hole and odd-form components, connectors and cable assemblies are fitted and soldered by hand as part of the build.
When quantity outgrows hand assembly, we select and coordinate the electronics manufacturing partner, hand over the production data and stay your one accountable interface.
Builds are functionally tested against an agreed sequence before dispatch. Where a product needs its own station, we design and build the test fixture and the automated test sequence with you, and the test records travel with the batch.
Finished units are packed to the specification we agree — protective, bulk or retail — including marking, labels and inserts where you need them.
Finished units go straight to your customers or distribution points instead of back to you, once destinations, returns, customs and service terms are agreed.
Studio works in its own workshop and coordinates trusted partners for the operations that belong with them; the quotation names which is which. We sign an NDA whenever you need one, and the quotation that follows the feasibility review is non-binding. HARDWARIO Studio is part of HARDWARIO a.s.
Request manufacturing reviewHARDWARIO ATS is our own automated test system. ATS Foundation is its Python-based SDK: a test sequence is declared rather than programmed, and the SDK runs it against the instruments and the unit. HARDWARIO Launchpad is what the production operator works in, and ATELOS keeps every result. Stations are assembled from standard instruments, so a new product means a new test sequence rather than a new machine.
One station covers the whole physical test: programming over J-Link, Cube or esptool for nRF, STM32 and ESP32; a precision multimeter for voltage, current, resistance and frequency against a limit and tolerance; a programmable supply that powers the unit; and Red Pitaya for buses, fast analog measurement and relay switching in the fixture.
One fixed rule decides the verdict: tester error outranks a unit defect, which outranks a pass. If an instrument fails to connect, the run ends as a tester error instead of blaming the board, and the station powers the unit down safely. Warnings never change a verdict.
Each product gets its own sequence package: limits, firmware and timeouts live in configuration, the logic stays separate, and the SDK version is locked. Changing a limit does not touch the logic, and a sequence recorded last year runs identically today. Stations install and update their own packages.
The station runs a graphical application built for the production floor, not a console. The operator selects the sequence, scans the unit's serial number and follows guided prompts — confirm, scan, enter a value — while the running step, its result and the measured values stay on screen. It runs in Czech and English, permissions decide who may do what, and it installs and updates sequences itself. What the operator sees always matches what the engine did and what reached the cloud.
Every result is stored against the unit's serial number, with duplicate protection so nothing is tested twice or skipped, and pass rate, retest rate and throughput are visible per batch, station and operator. You can get your own online access to the ATELOS production cloud, so visibility and traceability do not depend on when we send a report. It also has an API, so results and data such as calibration values can flow into your own systems.
Where your product needs a station of its own, the fixture and the sequence are designed and built for it while the engine stays the same. Test coverage, limits and acceptance are agreed with you before the first build.

The useful question is whether the job has a clear physical output, usable inputs and an acceptance path. Company size, industry and country do not decide the fit.
Add specialist fabrication, marking, testing or production capacity without building every process internally.
Create evidence for a design, tooling or launch decision, then move toward a first article or pilot batch.
Realize a fixture, replacement part, enclosure, model or agreed environmental test from a practical brief.
Turn released data or an early model into physical feedback, with CAD and DFM support where needed.
Coordinate sourcing, EMS, assembly, testing, packaging and fulfilment through one accountable interface.
The scope follows the maturity of your input and the decision the physical output must support.
Name the part, sample, test observation, batch or finished unit, together with its intended use and next decision.
We review files or samples, process, material, finish, quantity, test profile, risks and any missing inputs.
The quotation records deliverables, revision, acceptance, schedule assumptions, exclusions, partner roles and ownership boundaries.
We create the sample, run the agreed test or build the first article or pilot, then inspect it against the agreed criteria.
We hand over the output and agreed records, capture feedback and qualify the next iteration, batch or fulfilment cycle.
Choose Studio when your project needs a prototype, fabricated or marked part, functional or environmental test, assembled batch, finished unit, packaging or fulfilment from a brief or released package. CAD and DFM support that output where it needs them.
Choose HARDWARIO Engineering when your project needs architecture, electronics, firmware, cloud, applications or multidisciplinary product or system design or change. Studio can then deliver a bounded physical workstream under the Engineering scope.
The right answer depends on the physical output, input maturity and risk. Here is what is useful to know before we start the review.
A brief, sketch, photo, reference sample, CAD model, artwork, drawing, BOM, manufacturing data or a written test profile is enough to start. The required input depends on whether you need fabrication, a prototype, a test or repeat production.
We scope and schedule the work, operate the suitable equipment and deliver the agreed output. Studio is a managed service — our operators run the machines, so you receive a finished result rather than machine time.
We create or adjust CAD to the extent the physical output needs, and advise on manufacturability. Connected-product engineering or multidisciplinary product or system design is led by HARDWARIO Engineering; for purely mechanical development of a larger scope we will point you to a specialist.
We can perform a scoped, non-accredited functional or environmental test against an agreed profile and hand over the results. Accredited testing, certification and authority decisions belong to a qualified laboratory or authority — a Studio test supports your development or release decision rather than replacing certification.
Yes, when the job passes feasibility and commercial review. Quantity, process, input maturity, acceptance and supply risk determine the suitable path; we confirm the minimum order and lead time for your specific job.
You keep the rights you already hold. Ownership and handover of new CAD, tooling, fixtures, manufacturing data and process artifacts are agreed explicitly for each engagement.
We operate our own workshop and bring in qualified partners for specialised operations. The quotation names the roles, and Studio remains your single accountable point of contact.
Yes — packaging and shipping straight to your customers are part of what we do. The quotation settles destinations, warranty, returns, customs and service terms.
HARDWARIO Studio turns a brief or released production package into an agreed prototype, part, batch or finished unit. The work stays focused on a specific physical output.
We scope, schedule and operate suitable workshop processes. When qualified partners contribute, the quotation identifies their operation, the responsibility boundary and Studio's accountable interface.
Tell us the physical output you need, what files or sample you have, quantity, acceptance criteria, deadline and destination. We will confirm fit, missing inputs and the next quoteable step.
