IoT & Hardware Integration
Your hardware works fine on the bench. Getting it to talk to your business systems reliably, at scale, in the field? That's the hard part.
The gap between hardware and software is where projects go to die
You've got sensors, readers, GPS units, maybe even custom boards. They do their job. But getting that data into your software, cleaned up, in real time, without losing packets or drowning in noise? That's a completely different problem.
Most software teams don't understand hardware. They treat serial protocols like REST APIs and act surprised when things break at 3am in a paddock with no cell signal. And most hardware engineers don't think about what happens to data after it leaves their device.
So you end up stuck in the middle. Paying two teams who don't speak each other's language, patching together systems with duct tape and cron jobs, and hoping the whole thing holds together when it matters.
Sound familiar?
- • "Our RFID readers work great in the lab, but in the field we're losing 30% of our scans"
- • "We've got sensor data flooding in but no way to make sense of it"
- • "Our firmware guy left and nobody else understands the code"
- • "We need GPS accuracy down to centimetres, not metres"
- • "The prototype works. Scaling it to 500 devices is a nightmare"
We bridge the gap
We're one of those rare teams that's just as comfortable with a soldering iron as a deployment pipeline. That means one team, one conversation, and a system that actually works end-to-end.
Custom Firmware
We write firmware that doesn't just work. It handles edge cases, recovers from failures gracefully, and sends clean data upstream. Built for the real world, not the demo room.
RFID & Sensor Networks
Whether you're tracking assets with RFID, monitoring environments with sensor arrays, or building something entirely custom, we handle the communication protocols, the data pipeline, and the software that makes it all visible.
Precision GPS & RTK
When "close enough" isn't good enough. We work with RTK GPS systems that deliver centimetre-level accuracy, with the software to capture, process, and display location data in real time.
Real-Time Data Pipelines
Raw hardware data is messy. We build pipelines that clean, process, and deliver it to your applications in real time. Your team sees dashboards, not data dumps.
Device Management
Monitoring platforms that show you the health of every device in your fleet. Know when something's failing before your customer does. Push firmware updates without rolling a truck.
Scale-Ready Architecture
What works for 10 devices won't work for 10,000. We design systems that handle growth without requiring a rewrite, because nobody wants to hear "we need to start over" after you've already deployed.
Why this is hard to get right
Here's the thing about IoT projects: the technology is actually the easy part. The hard part is making it reliable. Making it work when the network drops out. Making it fail gracefully when a sensor sends garbage data at 2am. Making it scale from your proof of concept to a production fleet without everything falling apart.
Most of the projects we pick up have already been attempted once. A software team built something that works in the office but crumbles in the field. Or a hardware team built something robust but with no way to get the data where it needs to go. We've seen both stories enough times to know the pattern, and to know how to avoid it.
What makes us different isn't any single technology. It's that we think about the whole system from day one. The device, the communication layer, the backend, the user interface. All of it, designed together by people who understand every layer of the stack.
