From napkin sketch to production units — CLI Systems designs, builds, and manufactures your electronic product so you can focus on selling it.
Start a ProjectWe absorb the engineering costs. You pay per unit.
A proven four-phase process that takes your idea from concept to production
We work with you to define what the product needs to do, who it's for, and what constraints matter. This phase ends with a clear specification and a go/no-go decision.
First working hardware. These are functional boards with initial firmware — enough to validate the design, test interfaces, and prove the concept works in the real world.
Refined hardware with production-intent firmware. These units go to your beta testers or pilot customers. We incorporate feedback from engineering units and lock down the design.
Manufacturing at volume. You order units, we build and ship them. Ongoing firmware updates and hardware revisions as your product evolves.
Organized by the problems we solve, not just the markets we know
Products that sense, measure, and act on the physical world — temperature controllers, environmental monitors, industrial automation panels.
Products that need to talk to the cloud, a phone, or each other — IoT gateways, wireless sensors, BLE-enabled equipment.
Products where reliability isn't optional — medical devices, safety interlocks, alcohol monitoring systems, access control.
Products that need precision — custom test fixtures, data acquisition systems, calibration equipment.
Real products taken from idea to manufacturing
Situation: A manufacturer needed a new control panel for their equipment line. No existing product on the market met their requirements, and they had no in-house electronics team.
Outcome: Engineering units delivered in under 30 days from first conversation. Now in production with ongoing firmware updates.
Situation: A company had a product concept but needed a partner to handle the full development cycle — hardware design, firmware, certification, and manufacturing.
Outcome: Took the product from napkin sketch to 5,000+ manufactured units in 8 months. Full turn-key delivery with per-unit pricing.
