The challenges of developing
EdTech Hardware products

EdTech companies that develop smart devices face technological and educational challenges.

Miniaturization and design

The devices must be robust (resistant to shocks, children, classrooms), ergonomic (sized to fit children’s hands), and attractive (to appeal to teachers and parents).

Durability and maintenance

Schools and educational institutions are looking for durable products (5-10 years) with simplified maintenance.

Teaching and adoption

An EdTech smart device must prove its educational effectiveness in order to be adopted by schools.
Teachers and institutions are wary of gadgets without proof of impact.

Hardware + Software + Education

A project leader does not just sell a device, but a complete solution (hardware + firmware + integration with educational apps). The importance of a comprehensive solution that includes UX is therefore essential.

Distribution and logistics

Schools and institutions purchase through public tenders, with long lead times and specific requirements (delivery in batches, responsive after-sales service). A flexible partner is therefore essential.

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.

Bookinou

Audio reader

Pimely has developed an audio reader for children. By combining an NFC sticker placed on a book with its audio recording made on the app, children can listen to their favorite stories (without a screen) in familiar voices.

Altyor’s role: design, industrialization, and production of Bookinou. A circular economy loop is also achieved with Altyor.

FAQ – EdTech Hardware Product Development

How long does it take to develop an EdTech hardware product?

The development of an edtech hardware product depends on its technical complexity, its level of interactivity, and its intended educational uses (school, training, distance learning).
On average, a project is structured as follows:
Definition of educational and technical needs: 4 to 6 weeks
Hardware design (design, electronics, mechanics): 6 to 12 weeks
Prototyping and user testing: 8 to 16 weeks
Preparation for industrialization: 8 to 16 weeks
At Altyor, our experience in industrial product development allows us to secure technical choices from the outset and accelerate the transition from prototype to industrialized product.

What are the costs of developing an EdTech hardware product?

The cost of an edtech hardware project depends in particular on:
– The level of electronic complexity
– Robustness and intensive use constraints
– Planned production volumes
– Security and compliance requirements
Altyor’s approach aims to optimize costs from the design stage onwards, in order to avoid costly redesigns and ensure a smooth transition to production.

Is it possible to produce an EdTech product in micro series?

Yes. Micro-series production is a key stage in EdTech projects.
It allows you to:
– Test the product in pilot establishments
– Validate educational uses
– Adjust the design before larger-scale deployment
Altyor supports its clients in the production of industrial pre-series, while preparing for ramp-up.

Why use an industrial partner for an EdTech hardware project?

Many EdTech companies come from the software world and underestimate the constraints of hardware.
An industrial partner such as Altyor enables you to:
– Ensure technical feasibility
– Control costs and deadlines
– Guarantee product quality and reliability
– Move efficiently from prototype to production
