Firmon is the embedded-to-cloud team for the energy and industrial world. We design the hardware, write the firmware, ship the gateways — and get connected devices ready for the EU Cyber Resilience Act. One team, every layer of the stack, delivered from Da Nang, Vietnam.
Three product lines in active development. All embedded-to-cloud, all built for conditions where downtime costs real money. Available as finished product, white-label, or OEM reference designs.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter for industrial liquid monitoring. STM32-based with on-device signal processing. Non-invasive installation, no pipe cutting.
LoRaWAN + 5G cellular gateway for remote monitoring of renewable energy assets, battery storage, EV infrastructure. Linux edge, signed over-the-air updates.
Edge-AI industrial camera for safety and process monitoring. On-device inference, cellular backhaul, ruggedized for factory environments.
No consulting fluff. Four layers, one team. We handle each layer in-house with a trusted contractor network for scale.
PCB design, schematic review, DFM for low-to-mid volume industrial production. Altium, KiCad.
STM32, ESP32, RP2040, embedded Linux (i.MX, CM4, Jetson, Yocto). Real-time systems, cellular stacks, LoRaWAN.
Telemetry pipelines, device management, OTA updates, dashboards for fleet operations at scale.
Secure boot, key provisioning, signed OTA, TLS/mTLS, SBOM and vulnerability handling for connected fleets.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act and the RED cybersecurity rules (EN 18031) now apply to chargers, battery gateways, inverter monitors and industrial sensors alike. We are engineers, not auditors: we find the gaps in your firmware and fix them — secure boot, signed updates, SBOM, vulnerability handling — and hand you the evidence your conformity file needs.
Internet-connected radio equipment placed on the EU market must meet the RED delegated act. EN 18031-1/-2/-3 is the harmonised route.
Actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents go to ENISA within 24 hours — including products already shipped.
Essential cybersecurity requirements and CE marking apply to every product with digital elements sold in the EU.
We review one product — hardware, firmware, update path and backend — against the CRA essential requirements and EN 18031, and tell you exactly what to fix and in what order.
SBOM generated on every release build (Yocto, ESP-IDF, backend), scheduled CVE scans, and a PSIRT process that meets the 24-hour reporting clock.
Secure boot, flash encryption, locked debug and signed, rollback-protected updates on ESP32, STM32 and i.MX / Yocto targets.
Threat model, mechanism mapping, test evidence and user security guidance, structured for your self-declaration or your lab.
Patching, kernel and Yocto upgrades for products already in the field, through the support period you declare.
30 minutes. Your product, markets, radios and timeline. We tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Fixed scope and price. You get the report and roadmap whether or not you continue with us.
Sprint-based firmware and pipeline work, reviewed with your team, in your repositories.
Evidence pack, keys and processes handed to you — plus optional maintenance through the support period.
Firmon is not a notified body or test lab. We prepare your product and technical evidence; the declaration of conformity and any third-party assessment stay with you and your lab.
Hardware teams of roughly 10–200 people shipping connected devices into the EU — EV charging, battery storage, solar monitoring, industrial sensing — without an in-house embedded security team.

Firmon is a boutique hardware and firmware team based in Da Nang, Vietnam — a brand of KITATEK Co., Ltd. We came out of a decade of industrial IoT work — LoRaWAN gateways, embedded Linux, production firmware — and focus on the energy and industrial sector.
One technical lead, trusted contractor network. Firmon is led by Le Minh Tan, embedded systems engineer with 10+ years shipping production firmware and hardware across Vietnam and Australia. Delivery is backed by a vetted network for PCB, firmware, and cloud scale-up.
Why Vietnam. Hardware economics work here. Our contractor network, supply chain, and local manufacturing partnerships give us 2-3× cost advantage over similar shops in SG or AU — without the quality tradeoff. Every product we ship is designed, prototyped, and validated in-house in Da Nang. Our working day overlaps the European morning.
Why AI-native from day one. We use Claude heavily across the stack: firmware code generation, datasheet analysis, protocol reverse engineering, and technical documentation. This isn't a bolt-on — it's how we move faster than hardware shops 10× our headcount.
Da Nang, Vietnam. Focus: industrial IoT hardware for the energy sector.

KITATEK rebrands its engineering services as Firmon and launches CRA & EN 18031 readiness for EU-bound devices.
Industries where a dropped telemetry packet means a missed alert, a failed OTA means a truck roll, and a battery anomaly missed means fire risk.
