We don’t manufacture hardware, but our work goes deeper than software alone. Clients often bring us in to lead the engineering effort, coordinating hardware and software so the entire product works as one system. The result is a connected product that’s engineered together, not stitched across vendors who never spoke.

This is the engineering depth — the firmware, embedded systems, and on-device intelligence at and near the device. Our IoT Platforms & Connectivity work is the applied side: building and operating a fully connected product, device to cloud, with the platform and business case behind it. Most connected products draw on both.

Often, yes. Many projects begin by bringing intelligence to existing equipment rather than replacing it. Capturing the data your machines already produce and adding edge analytics can often deliver value faster than building something new from scratch.

Security is designed in from the start, not bolted on later. We engineer secure firmware, protected communication, and remote update capabilities so devices stay secure throughout their lifecycle — not just on launch day.

No. CallBox can save months when it fits, and it keeps you free of third-party vendor lock-in — but it’s an accelerator, not a requirement. When a different approach serves your product better, we’ll say so.

Absolutely. Many engagements begin before the hardware or software is fully defined. We help define the problem, identify the right architecture, and determine where embedded systems, edge computing, and connectivity create the most value. From there, we engineer the solution from the firmware up.
