Capabilities / IOT & CONNECTED SYSTEMS
CAPABILITY / 04 — IoT

Connect the physical world to useful information.

Connected products fail at the seams: a sensor that drops, a gateway that loses power, a dashboard nobody trusts. We engineer the whole chain from sensor to screen so the data arriving is data you can act on.

SCOPE

What we build.

Specific things we design, build and test in this discipline.

01

Sensor nodes

Battery and solar-powered nodes for environment, location, level, motion and equipment signals.

02

Gateways and mesh

Local aggregation and relay, so a farm, estate or plant is covered without a connection at every node.

03

Telemetry backends

Ingestion, storage, alert rules and APIs, built to handle gaps, duplicates and late data.

04

Dashboards and apps

Web and mobile views designed for the person who has to decide, not for a demo screen.

05

Tracking

GPS and geofencing for assets and livestock, tuned for battery life and patchy coverage.

06

Updates and security

Signed over-the-air updates, device authentication and recovery after power loss.

Designed for the connection you actually have.

Links drop. Our nodes keep measuring, keep time and send the backlog when the link returns. The dashboard shows gaps as gaps, instead of hiding them as zeros.

HOW AN IOT PROJECT RUNS

From a measurement need to a system people trust.

01

What must be known

The decision the data supports, how often it needs refreshing and what happens when it is late.

02

Node and link design

Sensor choice, power budget and radio range proven in the real site.

03

Backend and interface

Ingest, store, alert and display, with clear device status at all times.

04

Pilot and harden

Run on site, watch battery, signal and drift, then fix the weak links before scaling.

TYPICAL STACK

What it is built with.

Tools and platforms we choose from, picked per project, never by habit.

Devices
ESP32-class nodes, solar and battery power stages
Links
Wi-Fi, LoRa-class, GSM / LTE, mesh
Protocols
MQTT, HTTPS, TLS
Backend
API services, time-series storage, alert rules
Front end
Web dashboards and mobile-friendly views
Engineering principle

Missing data is information.

A good connected system tells you when it does not know. We build device health, battery and signal into every dashboard so silence is never mistaken for safety.
