Making
connected
objects
becomes
as simple
as making
websites.
WeIO is hardware and software platform that allows innovators to
create and produce with simplicity wirelessly connected objects
using the Web languages (HTML, CSS, JS) and Python.
WeIO removes a burden of technically complex embedded and
system software programming by adding layers of abstraction,
making sophisticated object design easy and intuitive.
WeIO empowers users in the way that they can focus on the
design and innovation.

Prototype
WeIO is addressing consumer industries, creative industries, innovative enterprises, laboratories and universities. Thanks to it’s
innovative approach and technology, designers, web developers,
hardware and software engineers, scientists, innovators and researchers can easily and very fast make a proof of concept of
their ideas.
Object interactions with smart phones, mobile devices, personal
computers and remote internet sites are becoming easy thing
to do.
Produce
WeIO is conceived with industry production in mind. Thus,
WeIO module can scale well, reducing size, price and power
consumption of the final device. It is perfectly adaptable for
production of small, medium and high volume products as it’s
popular processor is easily available.
As the result of this scaling, besides in a form of a development
kit, WeIO also comes (per demand) as an industry-grade System
on Module (SoM), with very small dimensions and low power
consumption. This module is still supported with full-stack
applications and SDK, running the same unmodified software
developed on the development kit.
This way module brings instant WiFi connectivity to the objects,
alongside with multi-platform user interfaces, operating system,
development tools and product services, turning these objects in
the smart, intelligent connected objects of the future at very low
cost, cutting the time to market significantly.

WeIO platform is easily extendible with both SW and HW modules, opening possibility for researchers to reuse, create and add
their own building blocks. Being open, platforms is suitable for
inspection, modification and modification.
In this manner, WeIO significantly cuts development time of a project, from the idea to the final product.

Learn
Being inspiring and intuitive, it adapts itself to the beginners, from
the electronics novices to the experienced programmers. It also
lets users progressively add features and use more interfaces in
their projects as they gain skills and knowledge.
WeIO insists on using industry proven standards and widely
adopted programming techniques, that once learned represent
a big benefit for the beginners, as they can reuse them in their
professional life. That’s why WeIO chooses Python, HTML/
Javasript and well defined set of API libraries, as these are
extremely popular, very powerful, well supported and well
documented programming languages of the Web of today.
WeIO comes with extensive and carefully written documentation,
as well as with lot of hand-on examples, from easy to advanced.

Zero installation
All development tools are already provided on board. Sophisticated
development environment is accessed via any web browser, or any
application that can access web based content.
This way there is no installation and your objects are your own
personal development clouds, as they are at the same time servers
for the beautiful HTML5 based GUIs.
Easy configuration
WeIO provides user friendly configuration interface from which you
can scan wireless networks, connect to them or create private
ones. It also has GUIs for complete system configuration, and easy
SW components and extensions adding and storing.
Design of WeIO Configurator tool has been made in the modular
fashion, so you can reuse it in some of your other projects, as it is
really attractive building block.
Seamless update
WeIO has integrated mechanism that lets you update whole
firmware in one click. This assures that you will always run up to
date and secure system with latest software components, bug
fixes, patches, tools, drivers. . .
This module is also available for users to be integrated to their
objects so that they can update products easily.
TURN ON
Plug & Web
Forget software installations. With WeIO
your objects contain all necessary tools and
applications that give you the power to create
their inteligence and modify them anyway you
like it, in realtime.

Web & Things
WeIO is a Web of Things platform. It lets you
connect and control your objects from any
device using only your web browser. Connect
easily objects between them or with Internet
services like social networks.
Open
WeIO is Open Source and Open Hardware platform, using only
Open Source technologies as the building blocks. That lets you
easily inspect, modify and tailor software to your own needs, or
use ready-made HW schematics as the starting point of your new
products.
Designed in Paris
With many years of experience, nodesign.net is one of the key
players and pioneers of digital design in France and in Europe.
WeIO is platform that we made for our needs, and once we realized it’s potential we wanted to share it with everybody. WeIO
hardware is made in collaboration with 8devices.com.
Wireless & Less Wires
Forget all your cables. WeIO gives your
objects Wi-Fi connectivity, making them
mobile and easy to reach, program and
control from anywhere you are.
Nodesign.net company assures professional support to the users of
WeIO platform and actively works in promotion and populatization
of the project. We offer closed propriatery licence for specialised
(custom) industry design to interested clients, as well as complete
support in project realization from the project research, design,
component sourcing, development, fabrication, optimization
and documentation. We also offer support through specialized
workshops and trainings, and our specialized marketing services
to position your product on the global market.
