Everything you need to know about the energy sector in tech

Altyor supports you in your hardware project from mechatronic design to industrial production.

The challenges of developing
electronic products in the energy sector

Optimizing energy production, consumption, storage,
and management with the IoT. But what are the technical challenges?

Mechatronic integration

Energy smart devices combine power electronics, sensors, connectivity (IoT), and robust mechanics (e.g., weatherproof enclosures for smart meters).

Energy efficiency optimization

Devices must be compact (e.g., IoT sensors, EV chargers) while minimizing power consumption (battery life, low power).

Connectivity and Interoperability

Connected devices must be compact, attractive, and ergonomic, while incorporating complex electronic components (batteries, sensors, antennas, etc.).

Security and Cybersecurity

Smart devices are targets for cyberattacks (e.g., hacking of smart meters, ransomware on EV chargers). This is especially true in the energy sector, where the stakes can be high.

Testing and Certification

Mandatory certifications (e.g., MID for energy meters, CE for Europe), performance tests (e.g., inverter efficiency, sensor accuracy), robustness tests (shock, temperature, humidity): everything must be taken into account to ensure safe market launch.

From ideation to manufacturing your product

From concept to certified product, we control 100% of the value chain.

Eco-design

We integrate eco-responsibility from the earliest stages to create high-performance, sustainable products designed to reduce their environmental impact.

Prototyping

We create functional prototypes to enable you to test your market, convince your users, or raise funds with complete credibility.

Qualification

We test your product under extreme conditions to ensure its reliability, safety, and compliance with the required standards.

Industrialization

From prototype to series production, we design and optimize tools, assembly lines, and test benches for reliable and controlled production.

Certification

We assist you in obtaining all necessary certifications and ensure that your products comply with regulations.

Manufacturing

Thousands of products manufactured: we ensure flexible, controlled, high-quality production, recognized by more than 250 customers.

Examples of electronic products
in the energy sector

Butagaz

Connected lock

This lock, designed for gas cylinder hatches in the residential market, allows automated opening 24 hours a day via an app. It is powered by energy harvesting for complete autonomy.

Altyor’s role: Industrialization, production in France

Mersen

Smart control box

This box collects user and safety data from fuses at the entrances to large cities.

Usually controlled manually by operators, this product ensures that information is reported more accurately, more quickly, and more regularly.
