Start with a proven reference design

Every CaaM module comes with a complete reference design: schematics, PCB layouts, bill of materials, and firmware examples that have already been validated by Embever. These designs are production-tested and cover the most common IoT use cases, so your hardware team is not starting from a blank page. You take the reference design, adapt the form factor, add your application-specific sensors or interfaces, and arrive at a custom product that is uniquely yours while inheriting the reliability of Cloud-as-a-Module.

Adapt the hardware to your needs

The reference designs are built to be modified. Your hardware engineers can adjust the PCB layout, swap components, add peripherals, or redesign the enclosure while keeping the CaaM module at the core. Embever provides design guidelines and engineering support to help you navigate those changes. The result is a custom hardware design that fits your product requirements.

Build your firmware on top of ours

Embever’s reference firmware gives your developers a working starting point that already handles connectivity, cloud communication, security, and OTA updates. Your team extends it with application-specific logic: sensor handling, local processing, power management, or any behavior specific to your product. This dramatically reduces the firmware scope your team is responsible for. The hard, low-level work is already done. You focus on the logic that defines your product.

From your custom design to production

Once your custom hardware and firmware design is finalized, Embever supports the path to production. Device provisioning, cloud onboarding, and fleet management scale with your volumes without requiring changes to your manufacturing process. OTA update support means you can continue evolving your firmware after devices are deployed in the field.
