Case Study: Kinetic scales wearable IoT production with MacroFab

Kinetic scales from prototypes to tens of thousands of units with MacroFab

Kinetic, a company that develops wearable IoT devices for injury prevention in the workforce, faced the challenge of finding a contract manufacturer capable of supporting rapid prototyping and then scaling to high-volume production in North America while protecting their intellectual property. They needed a partner to help them iterate designs quickly and seamlessly transition from prototypes to mass manufacturing without the delays typically associated with new factory introductions.

MacroFab provided its digital PCB assembly platform and manufacturing services, enabling Kinetic to easily upload designs, prototype, and then scale production into the tens of thousands of units. The solution included collaborative design review, supply chain visibility tools, and dedicated account management. As a result, Kinetic was able to ramp up production volume by 10x over two years, bring their product to market faster than competitors, and is now planning to leverage MacroFab for all future assembly and box build projects across North America.
