Realizing A More Cost-Effective Approach For A Developing Country

PT Sistem Mikroelektronika Cerdas Co-Design is one of Indonesia's most prolific technology-based companies, mostly specializing in designing microelectronic products for remote automation and sensing. Headquartered in Bandung, Indonesia, we try to provide a more cost-effective approach in solving the various monitoring and control related problems for a country that has for decades been living through considerable social diversity, drastic geographical and climate exceptionality, and constant economical turmoil. .We believe that there is no such thing as a universal solution, which is a necessary belief to fulfill the often unpredictable technical requirements found in Indonesia. This drives us to supervise the entirety of components in the products we design. Thus, the 'co-design' approach that we use in our name. We also provide services for all kinds of already implemented microelectronic technology systems and the development of traning programs for the use of our products. 

 Company Roots

Our roots trace back from the year 1999. Indonesia was still suffering from the after-effects of Asia’s 1998 financial crisis. A small group of researchers from the ITB university in Bandung, West Java, then decided to make plans in building a start-up company to  provide products that may become alternatives for the sudden technology inavailability caused by the rapid change in the monetary field. This was how PT SMC Co-Design began.

Company Division

  The company itself is composed of several divisions, which become the motor of our company’s work.
