About IdeatorTech
Custom Industrial Control Boards
for Global OEM Equipment
We design and manufacture PLC replacement solutions that help machine builders reduce cost, gain hardware independence, and accelerate time-to-market.
Who We Are
Engineering-Driven, Customer-Focused
IdeatorTech is a Qingdao, China-based technology company specializing in custom industrial control board design and manufacturing. With over 10 years of experience in embedded systems and industrial automation, we serve OEM machine builders, system integrators, and equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Our core expertise lies in replacing traditional PLCs with cost-effective, purpose-built control boards based on STM32 microcontrollers. We handle the full stack — from hardware design and PCB layout to firmware development and protocol implementation (EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus, RS485).
Every board we deliver is designed for volume production reliability: industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), EMC compliance, conformal coating options, and long-term component availability.
