Est. right now — Cape Town
Got a crazy idea for a device? We're the nerds who will design it, engineer it, prototype it, and ship it — from napkin sketch to working hardware.
What We Build
Stair-climbing luggage bots. Warehouse arms. Inspection drones. If it needs to move on its own, we'll build the brain and the body.
Mechatronics · ROS2 · VisionDriver skill detection chips. Biometric trackers. Environmental monitors. Custom sensing hardware tuned to exactly what you need to measure.
MEMS · Signal Processing · DSPPet tracking collars. Smart asset tags. Remote monitors. We build the device, the firmware, and the cloud backend that ties it all together.
BLE · LoRa · LTE-M · MQTTHealth monitors, sport performance gear, haptic feedback devices. We make hardware that lives comfortably on the human body.
Low-power · Flex PCB · BLEMachine learning models that run on a postage stamp of silicon. Real-time inference, no cloud required. Smart devices that actually think.
TFLite · ONNX · NPU · MCUSeriously. If you've been told it can't be done, call us. We love the problems that make other engineers nervous. That's where the fun is.
Anything · Everything · Why NotHow It Works
Tell us everything. Nothing is too weird. We listen, ask dumb questions, and figure out what you actually need.
We turn your idea into a technical spec, BOM estimate, and a realistic timeline. No smoke, no mirrors.
First working version in your hands. Ugly? Maybe. Functional? Absolutely. Iteration starts here.
We refine, test, break it, fix it, and test again. Hardware is hard — we know all the shortcuts to get it right.
Final hardware, full documentation, firmware source, and ongoing support. You own everything we build.
The ThingX Way
We started ThingX because we were tired of saying "that's not possible." Everything is possible. Some things just need the right nerds. We're engineers, tinkerers, and problem addicts who believe the best devices haven't been invented yet. They're sitting in your head right now. Let's get them out.
Launch Your Project
Drop us the details — or just vibes — and we'll get back to you within 48 hours with real thoughts, not a sales pitch.
