IoT & hardware from first prototype to connected fleet.
Providing comprehensive IoT services, including hardware design and integration, to enhance connectivity and automation.
- Embedded systems
- Hardware design
- Device integration
Overview
How we approach it.
We design connected devices end to end: the electronics, the firmware that runs on them, and the cloud and app that make their data useful.
Starting from off-the-shelf boards for fast prototypes, we move to custom hardware once the product is proven, keeping security and over-the-air updates in mind throughout.
What we deliver
Capabilities.
- 01
Embedded firmware
Reliable firmware for ESP32, STM32 and Raspberry Pi, with low-power modes and over-the-air updates.
- 02
Hardware design
Schematics, PCB layout and enclosure design, from breadboard prototype to small production runs.
- 03
Sensors & RFID
Access control, attendance, environmental and asset tracking built on RFID, NFC and sensor networks.
- 04
Device connectivity
Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa and cellular links with MQTT messaging and secure device provisioning.
- 05
Cloud & dashboards
Data pipelines, alerts and dashboards that turn device readings into decisions.
- 06
Edge AI
Computer vision and anomaly detection running on the device, for when the network can't be trusted.
Use cases
Where it helps.
- RFID access control and attendance

We choose tools for your constraints, not habit. If your team already has a stack, we work within it.
How we work
A clear process, from first call to launch.
- Step 01
Discover
We learn your business, users and constraints before a line of code.
- Step 02
Design
Flows, interfaces and architecture shaped and validated with you.
- Step 03
Build
Iterative delivery with regular demos, reviews and clear milestones.
- Step 04
Support
Launch, monitoring and ongoing improvements once you're live.
Can you take a product from idea to manufacturing?
We take it from idea to a working, field-tested prototype and small pilot runs, and prepare the design files and documentation a manufacturer needs for volume production.
How do you keep devices secure?
Unique device credentials, encrypted connections, signed firmware updates and no default passwords, following current IoT security baselines.
Can you work with our existing hardware?
Yes. We can write new firmware, add connectivity or build the cloud and app layer for devices you already have.
