What We Do

LocoLabs brings creative innovation and over 20 years of Silicon Valley experience to solve tough design and manufacturing challenges for our clients.

RAPID PROTOTYPING

Go from concept to working prototype faster and easier

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Accelerate your product development and quickly get your project into production

MANUFACTURING

Reliable manufacturing and volume delivery

“For an idea that does not first seem insane, there is no hope.”

– Albert Einstein

Our Expertise

We are experts at extracting engineering requirements from your marketing specifications. Our "Rev-Zero" process reduces risks and improves time to market. We focus on protecting your IP with onshore development and manufacturing, and cyber-hardening of IoT and IIoT devices.

Many of our clients call us the “Rev-Zero” company, reflecting our ability to take a project from concept, through design, to production, with no spins. Precise requirements analysis and attention to detail are key to our Rev-Zero deliveries.
