Your partner for custom development and OEM manufacturing
We help companies extend their development capacity or deliver complete design, production, and long-term maintenance of new products.
ACRIOS is not only a leader in meter retrofitting through bus-based solutions and products. Our development team has experience designing devices for explosive environments, developing complete electronics, and creating control applications for example for vending systems. We can also flexibly collaborate on specific tasks within your own development team. With our know-how, we help shorten your time-to-market, optimise your designs, or provide an independent technical audit.
Challenges for companies
Our solution
Custom development and OEM manufacturing from initial design to deployment and service. We can step in exactly where you need us: extend your existing team’s capacity or take over the entire project, including project management, prototyping, and industrial production under your brand.
Our expertise spans IoT communication, embedded systems, and functional safety, including experience with devices for demanding and explosive environments. We handle hardware, firmware, and control applications, support design optimisation, and prepare your solution for certification (CRA/RED). The result is faster market entry, lower risk, and a solution built to perform in the real world.
One partner for the full product lifecycle
From prototyping to certification and scalable production
Working with ACRIOS
Partnering with ACRIOS gives you confidence that your investment in a new product will deliver faster returns with fewer complications. With a seasoned team and hands-on experience from real-world projects, you gain a solution that is technically sound, certifiable, and economically efficient.
You don’t need to build an in-house development department, you get a partner who turns your idea into a market-ready product. If required, we can also handle connectivity and end-to-end data flow, from network and backend to export. We can monitor your devices or regularly deliver data into your internal applications. That way, you don’t need to manage IoT technology, you simply work with the data you need.
Shorter development cycles thanks to our know-how and proven solutions
No need to build a full in-house department; we provide capacity and project management
We can join as an extension of your team or deliver turnkey development and production
Expertise in IoT communication, embedded systems, and safety standards
Designs optimised to meet CRA/RED and other regulatory requirements
We can ensure connectivity and data management: collection, storage, and export via API or CSV
Our OEM offering
Need a product under your own brand? ACRIOS provides full OEM development and production, from electronic design and firmware to final assembly and device testing. We can deliver components or complete solutions ready for your production line or direct sale to end customers.
From electronic design to serial production and testing.
First prototypes typically within 2–3 months.
OEM deliveries with full integration into your ecosystem.
CRA audit and consultation
European legislation introduces new requirements for the cybersecurity of connected devices.
For IoT and embedded system manufacturers, this means addressing not only hardware and software, but also data security, update processes, and documentation in line with the latest standards.
ACRIOS is actively involved in a research project funded by the Czech Technology Agency (TA ČR), focused on practical implementation of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements. Thanks to this, we have a deep understanding of what CRA will mean in practice for manufacturers and developers.
We design devices and system architectures that meet legislative requirements, and we prepare full documentation and certification materials. We’ll help ensure your product is not only functional, but also secure and fully compliant with European market regulations.
Proven in practice
We delivered an end-to-end solution for smart water vending machines, combining custom hardware, a mobile app and backend infrastructure. Lokni is now used worldwide in public spaces and businesses, helping reduce plastic bottle consumption.
We built a complete communication platform for hospitals and long-term care facilities, from hardware and server setup to web management and mobile apps. The system streamlines staff communication and supports more efficient patient care.
In partnership with Aeler, we developed a low-power tracking device that monitors shipping container conditions. Data is collected periodically and sent via LTE to AWS for real-time access and analytics.

How to get started
Bring your product from idea to reality with ACRIOS
Whether you need to strengthen your development team or are looking for a partner to deliver full design, production, and certification, we’re ready to collaborate.
With experience in IoT communication, embedded systems, explosive-environment designs, and functional safety applications, we’ll take your project from concept to a market-ready, certifiable product – and, if needed, ensure production as well.
Frequently asked question
Typically with an introductory meeting where we discuss your needs and project outline.We then prepare an initial quotation and define the next steps.
Yes. We can strengthen your team in specific areas (e.g. firmware, hardware, certification) or take over the entire project.
Yes. We offer OEM production. Your product can be delivered under your brand and with your configuration.
Yes. We take CRA/RED and other standards into account from the design stage, ensuring your device is ready for certification.
Yes. If required, we provide network connectivity and data processing. You can monitor your devices in an application or have the data integrated into your internal systems.
It depends on project complexity. We typically deliver the first prototypes within months, not years.
The Cyber Resilience Act is an EU regulation that sets cybersecurity requirements for connected devices. It affects most IoT and embedded product manufacturers selling within the EU.
Almost all manufacturers of connected devices – from simple sensors to complex systems. CRA covers both new products and updates to existing ones.
The regulation entered into force in 2024, with manufacturers having approximately 36 months to fully comply – until 2027.
Ensuring device security throughout its entire lifecycle – secure development, vulnerability management, encrypted communication, OTA updates, and proper documentation for certification.
We are part of a research project with a university focused on implementing CRA in practice.We can assess whether your device meets the requirements, propose necessary changes, and prepare certification documentation.
Yes. CRA and RED go hand in hand. We help align both to ensure your product is ready for the EU market without unnecessary delays.
Ideally, yes. By engaging early, we can set up the architecture and processes to meet CRA requirements without costly redesigns later.
