To Make Every
Repair Smarter
We are building the repair intelligence layer.
Every year, millions of electronic devices become waste because they are difficult, expensive or inefficient to repair.
EDIO is building the technology infrastructure that helps the people who repair those devices make better decisions, recover more devices and extend electronic product lifecycles.
How EDIO started
Most electronics are not ready to be thrown away.
A device reaches waste long before it reaches the end of its useful life — usually at the point where diagnosis becomes too hard.
- STAGE 01A device failsNo display, no boot, a split screen.
- STAGE 02It reaches a benchAn independent technician or service centre takes it in.
- STAGE 03Diagnosis stallsNo tool, no data and no known fix for this board.
- STAGE 04It becomes wasteWritten off, cannibalised or discarded.
Where the chain breaks. When diagnosis stalls, the device does not wait — even when the fault is small, local and fixable. EDIO works on that diagnosis step.
From repair tools to repair intelligence.
Four layers, built in order. Each one only works because the layer beneath it exists.
Select a layer to see what sits inside it. Data moves upward: hardware produces evidence, evidence becomes structure, structure becomes assistance.
Flagship hardware
One device. Multiple repair possibilities.

Repair more. Waste less. Build smarter.
Technology should not only create new products. It should also help us repair, recover and extend the life of the products we already have.

SMARTCLONE / SC—1
Hardware that helps hardware heal.
An advanced standalone motherboard programming, diagnostic and recovery tool designed for electronics repair professionals.
Operation Standalone
Interfaces UART, I²C, SPI, IR
Editor On-device HEX
Built for the repair professional.
SmartClone was designed from the bench outward. It runs standalone, so it works in a service centre with no spare laptop, in a field visit, or on a crowded workshop table.
It covers the operations that decide whether a board is recoverable: talking to the system, reading and keeping its memory, editing contents where needed, writing back, and verifying the result.
Mode 2
UART boot diagnostic
Auto-baud serial probe that parses the boot stream live and tracks six boot stages on the device LCD. Flags boot loops and kernel panics, and recommends the next action.
Mode 3
Panel ID copier
Reads the source panel ID EEPROM, archives it to SD, then writes it to the replacement chip. Auto-detects address, size, addressing mode and bank count.
Mode 4
T-CON PMIC programmer
Edits VGH, VGL, VCOM, AVDD and other voltage registers across 33 supported PMIC chips — shown in millivolts, with range checks before any write.
Mode 5
IC programmer
General-purpose read, write, verify and erase for 24Cxx EEPROMs and 25xx SPI flash, with SD archive and restore.
Mode 6
IR mode
Service-mode codes for a range of TV brands, plus receive and decode (NEC, Sony SIRC, Samsung), learn and replay, brand database and auto-match.
Mode 7
File manager
Browses the SD card, shows storage statistics and opens any .bin in an on-device hex viewer.
Shared
USB-CDC host link
Connected over USB, the tool enumerates as a virtual COM port so a PC application can drive the same programming operations.
Firmware revision 1.0
Modes above are implemented in shipping firmware. Coverage grows through updates.

Sustainability
Repair is one of the most practical forms of sustainability.
When an electronic device is repaired instead of discarded, the useful life of the product can be extended and the need for premature replacement can potentially be reduced.
What a repair actually saves.
A repair avoids the carbon it would have taken to manufacture a replacement. This model estimates that avoided carbon from three numbers: how many units you repaired, what each one costs to make, and how many would otherwise have been thrown away.
Completed repairs over the period you're measuring.
The one genuinely uncertain input. Not every broken device would have been thrown out — some would have sat in a drawer, or been repaired elsewhere anyway. Lower this if you're unsure.
CO₂ AVOIDED
—
Estimated manufacturing carbon kept out of the atmosphere
units × carbon per unit × replacement share
—
Devices diverted from disposal
units × replacement share
—
Equivalent driving avoided in an average petrol car
CO₂ avoided ÷ 0.19 kg per km
—
Tree-years of growth needed to absorb the same carbon
CO₂ avoided ÷ 25 kg per tree per year
How this works: CO₂ avoided = units repaired × carbon to manufacture one unit × the share that would otherwise have been replaced. The manufacturing figures are rough, publicly reported averages for each product category (mainly from lifecycle assessments and manufacturer disclosures) — real devices vary a lot by model, size and factory, so treat every output here as a directional estimate, not an audited or certified figure. Replace the "carbon to manufacture one unit" field with your own product's number whenever you have one.
Everyday comparisons use rounded, widely cited conversion factors (≈0.19 kg CO₂e per km driven in an average petrol car; ≈25 kg CO₂e absorbed per year by a young tree) purely to make the number tangible — they are not part of the core calculation.
Repair contributes to a more circular electronics economy.
EDIO's work aligns with the objectives of four UN Sustainable Development Goals. Alignment is not endorsement: EDIO has no UN partnership, affiliation or certification.
SDG 8
Decent work and economic growth
Creating technology-enabled opportunities for skilled repair professionals.
SDG 9
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Building advanced repair infrastructure and electronics technology.
SDG 12
Responsible consumption and production
Supporting longer product lifecycles and circular use of electronics.
SDG 13
Climate action
Repair and product-life extension can contribute to reducing resource demand associated with premature replacement.

POTENTIAL IMPACT MODEL
Technicians equipped × repair capability × devices serviced
A framing, not a measurement. EDIO will publish figures against this model only when technicians, capability and volumes can be verified.
Future potential impact
No current verified figures
Pathways this can open
- Technician upskilling
- Independent repair businesses
- Service-centre employment
- Refurbishment operations
- Electronics diagnostics as a specialisation
- Future EV and industrial electronics repair
- Local entrepreneurship
Current verified impact
Published only where EDIO holds evidence: named deployments, counted technicians, dated events. Until then, this space stays empty on purpose.
Future potential impact
Modelled or projected outcomes, always labelled, always with assumptions attached, never counted alongside verified figures.

About EDIO
We started close to the repair bench.
EDIO did not begin with a market study. It began with boards on a bench, and with technicians who could see exactly what was wrong with a device but not always get to it.
Spending time in that environment makes one thing obvious very quickly: the hard part is rarely the soldering. The hard part is knowing what to trust. Which measurement matters. Whether the board is dead or just holding the wrong bytes. Whether an hour of investigation will end in a repair or in a written-off unit.
That is a technology problem, and it had not been treated like one. So we started building tools for it — starting with the operations that most often decide whether a board can be recovered, and putting them in something that works standalone, in the real conditions of a workshop.
SmartClone came out of that. Then a second realisation: every repair that tool helps complete produces knowledge, and almost all of it evaporates. Structuring that knowledge is the longer, harder and more valuable project, and it is where EDIO is heading.
