ElektronikSystem i Umeå AB

What ElektronikSystem i Umeå AB does

ElektronikSystem i Umeå AB (ELSYS) is a privately held Swedish designer and manufacturer of wireless IoT environmental sensors, headquartered in Umeå and founded in 2005. The company sells a broad portfolio of indoor and outdoor sensors built around LoRaWAN and, more recently, NB-IoT/LTE-M and wM-Bus protocols, organized into three core families: ERS (indoor environment, with display, Interact touch-control, and Eco solar/biodegradable sub-lines), EMS (compact occupancy, door, desk, and water-leak sensors), and ELT (IP67-rated multifunctional and ultrasonic/radar distance sensors for harsh outdoor and industrial environments). All sensors integrate NFC for smartphone-based configuration, support LoRaWAN end-to-end AES-CTR encryption and AES-CMAC integrity protection, and are designed for long battery life (up to 10 years, or fully battery-free in the Eco series via organic indoor solar cells).

The company addresses three end-markets — smart buildings, smart cities, and smart industries — with use cases spanning indoor climate, IAQ, occupancy, and outdoor distance monitoring. Its proprietary engineering covers in-house design and development control, a Scandinavian minimalist industrial design, pulse-coherent radar distance measurement, and an extensible accessory ecosystem (temperature probes, soil moisture, PT1000 modules, antennas, water-leak cable). Production is positioned as Swedish / Made in EU, with RED, RoHS, and WEEE compliance across LoRaWAN SKUs.

Commercially, ELSYS runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via its own webshop (elsys.se) priced in EUR per unit (€42 for ERS Temp wM-Bus up to €463 for ELT Ultrasonic snow), with batteries and antennas typically sold separately. Enterprise and custom orders (notably ERS Interact Lite Flex with branded touch functions and display layouts) are handled via direct email sales. Pricing is one-time / perpetual rather than subscription. Distribution is global through the webshop; geographic targeting is suggested by US915 region variants for North America. The company operates with a 1–10 employee team, has no disclosed external funding, and has no named reference customers, indicating a small, founder/privately-owned hardware niche player rather than a venture-backed scale business.

Core offering

ELSYS designs, manufactures, and sells wireless IoT sensors using LoRaWAN, NB-IoT/LTE-M, and wM-Bus protocols for professional indoor environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC, occupancy, sound, motion, light) and outdoor/industrial sensing (distance, level, soil moisture). Products are sold directly through the company's own webshop and via direct enterprise sales, with accessories such as antennas, batteries, temperature probes, and add-on modules offered separately.

Product overview

ElektronikSystem i Umeå AB (ELSYS) offers a comprehensive portfolio of wireless IoT sensors primarily based on LoRaWAN technology, expanded to include NB-IoT/LTE-M and wM-Bus protocols. The product lineup is organized into several sensor series: ERS series (indoor environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC, light, motion/occupancy, and sound); ERS Display series (ERS variants with integrated e-paper displays for real-time data visualization); ERS Interact series (sensors with touch button interfaces and thermostat functionality); ERS Eco series (solar-powered, battery-free sensors with biodegradable enclosures); EMS series (compact sensors for desk, door, and general indoor monitoring); ELT series (robust IP67-rated multifunctional sensors for outdoor and industrial applications with external sensor inputs); plus NB-IoT/LTE-M cellular variants and wM-Bus options. The ecosystem includes accessories (antennas, batteries), external sensors (temperature probes, ultrasonic distance sensors, soil moisture sensors), and add-on modules. All sensors feature NFC configuration capability and long battery life, with applications spanning smart buildings, smart cities, and industrial monitoring.
