Over the years memetis' customers asked for increasingly more and more integration depth from our solutions. We responded with delivering ultra-compact and energy-efficient flow control subsystems that seamlessly execute the fluidic task at hand.
We take care of the design and manufacturing of fluidic manifolds, selecting the right pump, choosing valves, picking sensors, and integrating everything with electronics and firmware for big OEMs and SMEs.
Building on over 75 years of experience within the Fluid-o-Tech Group and our proprietary flow control technologies, we provide our customers with everything from a single tailored fluidic component to a fully validated fluidic system.
From microliters to tens of liters per minute - Systems optimized across cost, energy efficiency, dimensions and other qualities
Fluid-o-Tech Group brings unique proprietary actuation technologies and system integration know-how to your platform.
Our portfolio spans three complementary valve technology families: patented shape-memory-alloy (SMA) micro-actuation for ultra-compact active flow control, patented piezo technology for power-saving millisecond response and strong proportional control dynamics, and proven solenoid valve solutions built on decades of industrial experience.
The advanced SMA and piezo platforms are available exclusively within our group, and we can benchmark and integrate all three approaches to identify the best fit for your application. By selecting the best technology fit for your system, we find the sweet spot between:
while not forgetting all other fluidic specifications and benefits:
Cut coordination overhead and integration risk with receiving a validated subsystem ready to plug into your platform
Get faster time to market, fewer interface and integration issues, and less internal coordination effort — because the fluidic subsystem comes from one accountable partner instead of many moving parts. That means fewer iteration loops, fewer late-stage surprises around connections and control behavior, and more of your engineering capacity freed up for the overall device.
We achieve this by taking end-to-end responsibility for the complete fluidic subsystem: starting from your performance targets and boundary conditions, we define requirements and interfaces, design the manifold and fluidic architecture, select and integrate pumps, valves and sensors, and develop the electronics and firmware needed for robust closed-loop control. Manufacturing considerations are built in from day one, and validation runs alongside development — so what you receive is a fully validated, production-ready subsystem that integrates cleanly into your platform.
In just a few months, memetis delivered a complete subsystem integrating close to 100 valves, a pump, nearly 100 pressure sensors, plus fully developed electronics and firmware. From the outset, the program was designed not only to deliver a working baseline, but to benchmark three valve technology options side by side — solenoid, SMA-based, and piezo-based — so the customer could validate different approaches early and make platform decisions much faster than in a conventional development cycle.
The side-by-side evaluation showed clear trade-offs in energy efficiency and system footprint. Compared to the solenoid-based baseline, the piezo-based solution reduced power demand by roughly two orders of magnitude, enabling operation with a much smaller power supply. The SMA-based solution delivered the most compact architecture, requiring only a fraction of the space of the solenoid configuration.
This kind of cross-technology prototype study is only feasible when one partner can design, build, and test all platforms in parallel — with access to the underlying valve technologies, the integration expertise (manifold, sensing, controls), and the electronics/firmware required to generate comparable data. The result is a transparent, data-driven basis for early platform decisions.
Initially engaged to integrate more than 40 valves into a pneumatic cartridge actuation platform, memetis expanded its role to develop the complete pneumatic subsystem — from interface definition to pressure generation and closed-loop control.
This system-level ownership reduced complexity for the OEM and accelerated overall development timelines.
As project priorities shifted toward cost efficiency over size and power consumption, memetis successfully transitioned the platform to a highly competitive solenoid-based architecture — while retaining the full subsystem expertise developed throughout the project.
We integrate all of the parts below in a custom solution to address your fluid handling task at hand effectively
memetis is part of the Fluid-o-Tech Group, combining our subsystem integration focus with 500+ people globally and 45+ years of fluid-management experience across pumps, valves, sensors, and full fluidic systems. We support OEMs from a single tailored component to a fully validated, production-ready subsystem—with one accountable partner across the complete stack.
Fluid-o-Tech’s manufacturing is built for scale and repeatability, with a “factory-of-the-future” approach that includes high-automation assembly, high-precision machining, digital factory practices and structured material handling.
The group is vertically integrated—from injection moulding and precision machining, through component manufacturing and testing, up to the delivery of fully tested, production-ready subsystems. Quality systems and traceability are aligned with regulated and high-reliability requirements, supported by certifications such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001.
