Smart locks and electronic seals, with the platform that runs them

We design and manufacture 4G, LoRa and Bluetooth padlocks and cargo seals in Dongguan, China — together with the cloud platform and mobile app that control them. For cargo, fuel tankers, utilities and gas networks.

Choosing

4G, LoRa, Bluetooth or passive?

The same job — knowing who opened what, and when — can be done four ways. The right one depends on coverage, how many locks share a site, and who carries a phone.

How it reportsSIM per lockBest for
4GDirectly to the cloud over the cellular networkYesTrucks and containers on the move; alarms that cannot wait
LoRaThrough one gateway that serves many locksNoYards, plants and sites with many locks in one place, or no coverage
BluetoothThrough the operator's phoneNoLowest cost per lock; operations where staff always carry the app
PassiveThrough the key, which syncs with the platformNoThousands of fixed points — cabinets, substations — with no battery in the lock
Services & R&D

Not just products — the engineering to make them fit

Our customers need the lock to feed their platform, carry their numbering and wear their brand. We do that work with them, because every layer — circuit board, firmware, app, platform — is ours. See our services →

Integration with your system

MQTT to your broker, API, the advertising specification and a compiled SDK — and our engineers alongside yours.

Custom firmware and hardware

Reporting, wake strategy, broadcast content, housing, battery, LTE band — changed per project.

Platform and app in your name

A dedicated platform on your server, and the app white-labelled or with its source code handed over.

Platform & App

The hardware is half the system. We supply the other half too.

Our cloud platform and mobile app are running in production today. Use the hosted platform at no charge, have a dedicated copy deployed under your own brand, or feed your existing system through our API.

Your authorisation rules, your users and your operational data remain yours.

  • Hosted platform — no platform fee, no licence fee, no per-call charge
  • Dedicated deployment on your server, with your logo
  • White-label Android app (iOS coming soon), or the source code handed over
  • API and SDK for integration into the system you already run

Manufacturing

A factory, not a trading company

Circuit boards and housings are made to our designs by specialist suppliers, inspected on arrival, then assembled, tested and packed for export in our own workshop in Dongguan.
