# Custom hardware and software

* Adding/removing **sensors** from the PCB board
* **Adding a new sensor** we do not yet support to our device
* Embedded **devices without cases**
* Creating a **new device** based on our existing devices
* Creating a **new device from scratch**
* Adding new **firmware features** tailored to your use case

## A specific version of our devices

By this, we mean devices such as the SimplePack 4.0 Plus Door and the SimpleIndustry Legionella - devices that we have already designed and produced but don't usually have in stock. Usually, the **Minimal Order Quantity (MOQ)** for these device versions is **500 pieces**. On rare occasions, we will have the devices in stock on our [e-shop](https://simplehw.eu/shop).

If you want to use our devices as they are but would prefer to have your branding on them, please visit the article on custom branding:

## "Naked" device (just the PCB with the battery - no case)

We understand that a version without the outer casing could be beneficial to be used in integrations. We have tens of customers using our devices like this.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please bear in mind: 1. Always purchase and test the **encased device** before any experiments with the naked versions. 2. We only provide the naked version to customers with **large*****-*****scale potential**. 3. A naked version can be produced with **any** combination of sensors. 4. Understand that the price is **the same** as the encased version. 5. **ID and PAC codes** will be provided in a .csv file and a sticker with ID will be on the board. 6. Any case changes will have an impact on the **radio performance**. Please test thoroughly in a radio chamber or at least compare the performance with the reference design. 7. For commercial deployment you will have to get a new **Sigfox certificate** for the complete device.
{% endhint %}

## Custom hardware and software development based on our devices

We can also design and produce a completely new device (hardware) or device behavior (software) that's based on already existing Simple Hardware platforms. Of course, considering the time investment, this possibility is available only for projects **with a very large scale potential**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are interested in this option, please make sure to get in touch with us and tell us the following: 1. Describe the **use case** in depth. Ideally with price expectations based on your calculations. 2. Describe the **intended device behavior** in depth. 3. Give us a **list of sensors** you would like to stay on the PCB and also a list of sensors you would like to add (if any). 4. Decide on the desired **dimensions** and **battery longevity expectancy**. 5. Describe the **final case** of the new device. 6. Describe any desired connectors or **integration** into other electronics. 7. Provide as much **visual material and data in general** as you can.
