Home/Manufacturing

From PCB to packaging — under one roof in Dar es Salaam.

A vertically-integrated facility for surface-mount assembly, mechanical fabrication, calibration and quality testing. The machinery, the engineers and the QA — all in one place.

The line

Four stages. Zero shortcuts.

Every meter that leaves the factory passes through these four stages. No batch testing — every unit, every time.

01 / SMT & PCBA

Board assembly

Surface-mount assembly with automated optical inspection. Component traceability from reel to board.

02 / FAB

Mechanical & enclosure

Injection-moulded housings, brass machining for water meters, terminal blocks and labelling — all on site.

03 / CAL

Calibration

Each meter calibrated and accuracy-verified against reference standards before sealing. Calibration data archived.

04 / QA

Test & seal

End-of-line functional test, surge resilience checks, tamper-detection validation and tamper-evident sealing.

Capabilities

The depth to support a national-grid programme.

Capacity to scale with utility deployment programmes — and the engineering team to handle bespoke specifications when standard SKUs aren't enough.

  • Automated SMT placement with multi-line redundancy for high-throughput production runs.
  • In-house tooling and injection-moulding for meter housings, IPC bodies and accessory enclosures.
  • Brass machining cell for water-meter bodies and brass fittings.
  • Climatic and surge test chambers for product validation under tropical operating conditions.
  • STS-key management and secure firmware loading infrastructure for prepayment products.
  • Engineering team for bespoke specifications, EMC testing and field-failure analysis.

Standards & approvals

Certified to the standards utilities specify.

Our products are tested and certified against the international and national standards that matter to East African utilities — and we maintain the documentation trail to prove it.

IEC 62052 / 62053

Smart energy meter accuracy and conformity testing — the global benchmark for utility-grade meters.

STS Compliance

Standard Transfer Specification for prepayment meters — interoperable with utility vending platforms across the continent.

ISO 4064

Water-meter accuracy classification. Our products are calibrated to Class B and Class C accuracy as standard.

TANESCO Type Approval

All FNR smart meters are type-approved against TANESCO's national specification.

TBS Certified

Tanzania Bureau of Standards certification for our domestically-manufactured product families.

NF / EN 50483

Insulator piercing connectors tested to European technical specification for distribution accessories.
