A connected e-cigarette device

Our objective:

We set out to scope, design and develop the components necessary to add all this functionality to their product so that it was connected, secure and scalable for production.

Scaled solution

Circuit board for device, end-to-end integration including security and key injection hardware for the manufacturing facility.

Compliance

Ensuring hardware and software compliance with the necessary standards.

Data Capture

The development involved an extremely small circuit board using chip scale devices that could be embedded in the product and communicated to the phone application using Bluetooth. A range of parameters were measured and securely transmitted including inhalation air pressure, coil voltage, battery voltage and an accelerometer to detect user gestures.

Throughout the project we worked seamlessly with the client teams. Our experience in designing and developing connected devices and systems meant that we could anticipate potential pitfalls, and help the client navigate each stage of the product development journey.

The outcome:

The client, a leading eCigarette company, was able to develop and scale their concept, and to successfully offer their customers a connected device with a new set of features.
