Sinew

What Sinew does

Sinew Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 1989 and headquartered in Taichung City, Taiwan, is a privately held provider of audiovisual, IoT, and educational technology solutions operating across 100+ countries. The company serves primary verticals of K-12, higher education, and corporate conferencing, with secondary exposure to medical education and industrial automation. Its core technology combines AV hardware (AI PTZ cameras, DSP audio processors, conference systems, digital signage, recording/streaming appliances), software platforms (SCMS cloud classroom management, i-Campus IoT control plane, language lab suites), and an AI feature layer spanning computer vision tracking, audio pronunciation scoring, and energy anomaly detection.

Sinew organizes its portfolio into three integrated solution lines: Smart IoT Campus & Building (i-Campus, Energy Management System, IoT Gateway, IWB EMS); Smart Lab & Language Learning (e-PLUS Lab5, i-Tablet Lab5, DBS Plus/HD, SCMS, NCS Lite, DTS2, MTC PRO); and Smart Conference & AV (MPS conference systems, HD MAX/Mini HD MAX recording, VP-series AI cameras, AM-series audio processors). The i-Campus platform is positioned as the unifying control layer, supporting MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, and SNMP protocols for campus-wide device, access, energy, and ESG management.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, per-seat/site software licensing for language lab and classroom management suites, project-based IoT smart campus and EMS deployments, OEM/ODM customization services, and warranty/extended maintenance contracts (2-year at 10% of unit price, 3-year at 15%). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales in Taiwan (offices in Taichung, Taipei, Kaohsiung), a network of 100+ channel partners globally, authorized agents in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and a Taiwantrade B2B marketplace listing. Notable institutional customers include multi-county Taiwan government EMS deployments covering 1,030 schools and 66,269 air conditioner units, alongside 100,000+ classroom installations claimed worldwide and 50,000+ classrooms using i-Tablet Lab5.
