What SoMLabs does

SoMLabs is a privately-held Polish embedded electronics company headquartered in Legionowo that designs and manufactures System on Module (SoM) platforms, Single Board Computers (SBC), carrier boards, industrial edge computers, and complementary accessories for industrial embedded systems developers. The company's product portfolio spans three silicon vendor platforms—NXP (i.MX6ULL, i.MX8M Mini, i.MX93, i.MX91), STMicroelectronics (STM32H7, STM32MP1, STM32V8 Cortex-M85), and Renesas (RZ/G2L, RZ/V2L with DRP-AI)—organized into SoM families (SpaceSOM for AI/ML workloads, VisionSOM for multimedia/vision, StarSOM for compact industrial) that pair with proprietary carrier boards using Hirose DF40 board-to-board connectors. SoMLabs holds NXP Gold Partner, ST Authorized Partner, and Renesas Preferred Partner statuses, and is certified to ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015, and NCAGE (NATO) standards.

The company's business model centers on B2B hardware sales through quote-based direct website ordering (with quantity tiers from 1 to >5000 units) for custom and volume orders, supplemented by an authorized distributor relationship with kamami.pl for standard catalog products in the EU region. Revenue streams include SoM and SBC product sales, accessories (antennas, power supplies, connectors, displays, enclosures), and professional services encompassing board design consulting and Linux/software development support. The primary customer segment is industrial embedded systems integrators requiring long product lifecycles (7-10 years), extended temperature ranges, and reliable long-term silicon availability, with secondary segments in industrial IoT applications (HMI, POS, machine vision) and consumer/smart home devices. SoMLabs also operates an in-house precompliance EMC lab and offers training and design-house partnership programs to support customer product development cycles.
