Building Zambia's electronics industry.
Travis Labs designs, writes firmware for and manufactures industrial and telecom electronics in Lusaka. Every board made here is a skill, a supplier and a job that stays in Zambia. When an OEM discontinues critical equipment, we design and build the replacement; component-level diagnostics tell us what to build or fix.
One bench, from first schematic to a board running on site.
Design it
Schematic, PCB layout and embedded firmware, designed with current components in our own lab. Our design work is published in Springer Nature's Discover Electronics.
Manufacture it
Boards built, tested and installed in Zambia, with a written report. The Lusaka Water board has run since February 2026, and our own boards ship to the USA every month.
Diagnose it
Component-level thermal and electrical diagnostics with thermal cameras, oscilloscopes and power-quality meters, on our bench or at your site.
Telecom power & radio repair
Rectifiers, site monitoring units, RRUs, BBUs and RF amplifiers repaired to component level in Lusaka — instead of shipped abroad or scrapped.

Industrial repair & maintenance
VFDs, soft starters, UPS, inverters, PLCs and motors. Thermal-imaging inspections that find failures before they stop the plant.

Electronics design & PCB
Replacement boards for discontinued OEM cards, battery management systems, custom controllers — designed, built and tested in Zambia.

EV & lithium battery service
Traction packs, battery management systems, inverters and chargers — serviced at component level as Zambia moves to electric vehicles.

- Component-level diagnosis with oscilloscopes, thermal imaging, power-quality meters and meggers — on our bench or at your site.
- Every job logged on our own O'Sense Workshop system: intake, fault codes, photos, QA test and a report you can file.
- Fixed quotation before work starts; framework agreements with published fee schedules for repeat clients.
- Discontinued card? We capture the schematic, redesign with current parts and build a drop-in replacement.
Mines, utilities, telecom, manufacturing, government.
