A few months back Indiegogo and component provider Arrow announced a deal aimed at helping bring promising crowdfunding projects to market, providing hopeful campaigns with some much needed tools in those difficult months following funding.

Smart Armor will be the first hardware startup to get that push for this morning’s launch of the Smart Cube, a smartlock system that to can be adapted to a number of different settings, including cabinets, draws and the like. The mechanism utilizes Bluetooth low-energy and can be set to auto unlock when a connected smart device is nearby.

The device’s official crowdfunding campaign kicks off this morning, with Smart Cube units available for a $49 pledge. Through the program, Arrow will offer up engineers, prototyping services, supply chain expertise and other help navigating a number of the pain points standing between a successful campaign and eventual product release.

The project’s success should prove an interesting insight into the Indiegogo/Arrow partnership, as well as a barometer as to whether external inputs from a manufacturing partner can help crowdfunding hardware campaigns feel like a little less of a crapshoot.
