Descriptiontext

Rhea (legally RHÉA électronique, SAS) is a French B2B electronic subcontractor headquartered in Erquinghem-Lys, in the Lille metropolitan area, and operating as a subsidiary of the Hiolle Industries group. The firm employs approximately 20 people and offers custom electronic solutions organized around three service lines: (i) Card Engineering and Development — design and manufacture of microprocessor and analog cards, power supplies, control/acquisition/regulation systems, and communication modules using fieldbuses (CAN), radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with reverse-engineering and obsolescence-management capabilities; (ii) Safety Approach System Engineering — integration of normative constraints (machine safety, EMC, CE marking, RoHS), traceability, qualification testing and functional test procedures for regulated sectors; and (iii) Test Bench Development — custom benches up to 19-inch rack format, cabinet wiring, PXI modular instrumentation, and continuity/isolation testing on wire harnesses of up to 50,000 points and 20 meters in length.

The technical stack is built on CAD tools (Eagle, See Electrical, Design Spark Mechanical), embedded software languages (VHDL, C, C++), HMI tools (LABVIEW, NI), and automated card manufacturing lines (oven, silk-screen, reflow, dual wave, tropicalisation). Rhea is ISO 9001 certified (transitioned to the V2015 standard in 2017) and operates to IPC 610 manufacturing standards, with documented qualifications in medical CE marking and railway EN 50343 testing.

Rhea's commercial model is direct, project-based subcontracting sold to SMEs and enterprise groups across industrial, agricultural, automotive, elevator, medical and railway end-markets. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customers explicitly named in source material include TC Médical, Japet Medical Devices, Hiolle Industries Maroc, Hiolle Industries Algérie, Wettoncraft, and Université d'Artois. The company markets itself as a human-sized partner emphasizing flexibility, reactivity and end-to-end project support from specification through small-to-medium series production.
