Wideblue is a contract development and product design firm based in Scotland, UK. Our expertise covers a wide range of services to help you through research, design, development, and transfer into manufacturing.

We have particular skills in photonics and quantum integration, optical design and development, and medical device development. We have successfully designed several first-of-a-kind products for clients. Our diverse skill set and strength in photonics provide our customers with a complete end-to-end design and manufacturing service.

Often, the most valuable first step is a conversation. We welcome the opportunity to meet in person or arrange a call to understand your objectives, discuss what is feasible, and clarify any constraints. These initial discussions allow us to determine how we can best support your project, before a formal proposal is required.

This is where the creative process comes to life. Ideas are explored, solutions take shape, and your technology is aligned with real market needs in the most effective and commercially successful way.

Wideblue has extensive experience in evaluating product design opportunities, developing multiple concept directions, and working closely with clients to assess the strengths and trade-offs of each approach. Our process is collaborative and transparent, ensuring design decisions are informed by both technical insight and practical application.

A critical factor in the successful deployment of any new technology is a deep understanding of how it will be used by its intended users, and design accordingly. For a product to succeed in real-world conditions, it must:

Wideblue works closely with clients to embed these principles throughout the design process, ensuring technology is not only innovative but usable, practical, and impactful in its intended application.

For Wideblue, mechanical design goes far beyond the enclosure. It encompasses the components and interfaces that shape how users interact with a product, the intelligent internal features that accurately locate and support high-precision parts, and the practical considerations that ensure the product can be efficiently assembled and scaled on a production line.

Wideblue’s software team develops robust, scalable code across a wide range of platforms, from low-power microcontrollers to high-performance digital signal processors (DSPs) and PC-based applications for remote device management.

We specialise in firmware development for microcontrollers, enabling reliable control and operation of the products we design for our clients. Where centralised control is required, or where external systems must interface with the product, we also deliver PC software solutions and develop well-defined APIs to support seamless system integration.

Quantum physics explores the fundamental building blocks of matter and energy, governing interactions at the atomic and subatomic scale. Quantum technology applies these principles to develop cutting-edge solutions that were once the realm of theory.

At Wideblue, we collaborate with both commercial partners and leading universities to drive the practical advancement of quantum technologies. In short, we are taking the “quantum cat” out of the box and moving ideas from the lab and into the field.
