About Us
DIFI.NET is a private engineering company based in Estonia. The company name, an abbreviation for "Diffusion of IT Innovations," reflects our core mission and areas of expertise. Today, DIFI.NET offers solutions built around distributed products, primarily industrial computers and controllers from Advantech, as well as sensors from Pasco Scientific and Milesight, robotic platforms from uFactory, AMY Robotics, systems and communication elements from LANTRONIX and PANTHERUN.
On one hand, we promote the spread of STEAM education methodologies, such as the 5E model, by providing innovative products that DIFI.NET has adapted for the local market, including UI translations and localized educational materials. Educational institutions across the Baltic States use laboratory and educational equipment supplied by DIFI.NET to prepare the next generation of engineers. On the other hand, DIFI.NET is involved in engineering projects and digital service creation, offering expertise in fields such as robotics, automated testing equipment (ATE), and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Since its inception in 2005, DIFI.NET's mission has been to develop solutions that reduce human error through automation, ultimately minimizing Human Factor disambiguation. We are committed to exploring the concept of the " The ideal final result" as defined by TRIZ, achieved through the intersection of electronics, software, communication, and a highly educated workforce. This mission influences not only our end customers, suppliers and partners, helping them optimize operational processes. In this way, DIFI.NET fosters the diffusion of innovation as a solution provider and an educator.
As a result, our solutions help improve key performance indicators and customer service ratings for our clients.
