Revenue model

1. Design and engineering services for connected products: Project-based professional services covering architecture (OMBRAIN), interactive design engineering (OMLAB), firmware and software development (Linux/Android/microcontroller, BLE/LTE/WiFi/LoRa), and smartphone SDKs. Engagements with clients such as ENEDIS, Orange, and BEEWI have spanned multiple years (Orange relationship since 2009), indicating recurring, multi-phase contracts.
2. Industrialization, production and assembly of connected hardware: Hardware production revenue from PCB/PCBA manufacturing (Toulouse), plastic parts and injection molding (Terrasson), and complex product assembly (Beauvais), as exemplified by OMWAVE's role as industrializer of the Buddy robot. Includes configuration, installation and maintenance services (OMMADE).
3. Logistics, storage and shipment management: Logistics platform services (OMLOG) including storage, shipment management and configuration/installation support for clients' connected solutions.

Core offering

OMWAVE designs, engineers, and produces connected (IoT) products end-to-end in France, spanning low-level firmware on microcontrollers, embedded Linux/Android layers, and multi-protocol connectivity (BLE, LTE, WiFi, LoRa). The offer is organized across four integrated poles: OMBRAIN (solution architecture and project management), OMLAB (interactive design engineering), OMMADE (production, configuration, installation), and OMLOG (storage and logistics). OMWAVE supports large corporate groups and startups from idea through series production across its four French industrial sites.

Products and services

• OMBRAIN Architecture of connected solutions and project management service for enterprises and startups needing to scope, design, and deliver connected (IoT) products. OMWAVE frames the client's problem, defines the connected solution architecture, and manages the multi-disciplinary delivery across firmware, hardware, connectivity and industrialization.
• OMLAB Interactive design engineering service covering the industrial, mechanical, electronic and embedded-software design of connected objects and services. OMWAVE selects ambient technologies (BLE/LTE/WiFi/LoRa, sensors, low-level firmware on Linux/Android/microcontrollers) and develops the industrial design, prototype, smartphone SDKs and platform software for the client's connected product.
• OMMADE Production, configuration, installation and maintenance service for connected products. OMWAVE tests, validates, industrializes, assembles and configures client products at its Toulouse (PCB/PCBA), Terrasson (plastics/injection), and Beauvais (complex assembly) sites, optimizing production cost and time-to-market.
• OMLOG Storage, logistics platform and shipment management service for clients' connected solutions, executed from the Beauvais site alongside complex-product assembly.

Quantifiable outcome

• Multi-year continuity with Orange since 2009 across the MY PLUG connected solution and its B2B/B2C variants (conception, industrialization, platforms, smartphone LDK SDK).

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• ERDF – ENEDISflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerOMWAVE designed and developed the RCE (Radio Emitter LINKY) for ENEDIS, the French national electricity distribution operator. The RCE is a BLE-connected solution giving all residential and professional ENEDIS customers wireless access to LINKY meter data. Represents a flagship deployment in the Energy vertical and a high-visibility reference in critical-infrastructure IoT.
• OrangeflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerOMWAVE has accompanied Orange since 2009 around the MY PLUG connected solution (first smart plug allowing remote appliance control, consumption monitoring, power-outage alerts, and connected-object piloting) and its multiple B2B and B2C variants. Scope covers conception, industrialization, platform development and delivery of the smartphone LDK (kit de développement). A long-running telco-IoT partnership.
• BEEWIcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerOMWAVE designed and developed a global connected-services solution 'Homebee' for BEEWI, including services platform, LAN/BLE gateway, and accessories (controlled plug, RGB bulb, intrusion sensor). Co-development engagement spanning software, gateway hardware and accessory ecosystem.
• Buddy (Blue Frog Robotics)coreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing PartnerOMWAVE is the industrializer of the Buddy robot — a complete product covering software, hardware, BLE, WiFi, 4G, mechanical, assembly and tests, with series production at the Beauvais site. The relationship centers on contracted manufacturing/industrialization rather than joint IP creation.

Scale indicators4 records

Emerging players

• Withings: French connected-health device maker (smart scales, watches, health monitors); comparable to OMWAVE on the Healthcare vertical BLE/WiFi connected-product stack.
• Archos: French connected-devices maker designing and distributing connected consumer products in Europe; comparable to OMWAVE on the connected-object product side rather than the design-services side.

Broad incumbents

• Somfy: Large French incumbent in home automation motors, sensors and connected solutions; overlaps OMWAVE's smart-home and BLE/LTE connectivity capabilities but at much larger scale and with global distribution.
• Netatmo (Legrand): French smart-home brand within Legrand, with its own connected-device portfolio (cameras, thermostats, weather stations); adjacent to OMWAVE's smart-home work for BEEWI but on the branded-product side.

Direct peers

• Lacroix Electronics: French electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider offering design, industrialization, PCB/PCBA production and connected-object assembly — directly comparable to OMWAVE's OMMADE pole and broader design-to-production model.
• Delta Dore: French specialist in home and building automation with its own R&D and connected-product manufacturing; comparable to OMWAVE on BLE/WiFi connected home devices and B2C smart-home platforms.
• Lacroix Group (IoT Division): Parent group combining French EMS with an IoT connectivity/Smart Objects activity; directly overlaps OMWAVE's end-to-end connected-product stack and target verticals (utilities, smart home, industrial).
• Asteelflash (now USI): Global EMS with a significant French footprint providing PCB, PCBA, plastics and complex assembly services; directly comparable to OMWAVE's industrialization and production poles.
• Overkiz: French IoT platform vendor for smart-home, smart-building and smart-energy use cases (subsidiary of Somfy); comparable to OMWAVE on the gateway/services-platform layer for residential IoT.
• Tronico (Alcen Group): French EMS firm with embedded electronics, mechatronics and lifecycle services; operates production sites comparable to OMWAVE's Toulouse/Terrasson/Beauvais footprint and serves similarly demanding regulated customers.
