End-to-end Internet of Things development — from sensor firmware and hardware integration to cloud backends, real-time dashboards, and AI-driven anomaly detection.
We design and build complete IoT systems that collect data from the physical world and turn it into actionable insights. From environmental monitoring in mines to asset tracking across supply chains — our IoT solutions are deployed in some of the most demanding environments in South Africa.
Our team handles every layer of the IoT stack: embedded firmware for microcontrollers, communication protocols (MQTT, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT), cloud infrastructure for data ingestion and storage, and frontend dashboards for real-time visualisation. We also integrate AI directly into the pipeline — performing anomaly detection and predictive analytics at the edge or in the cloud.
Complete IoT solutions from prototype to production deployment.
IoT systems for air quality, water quality, noise, vibration, and temperature monitoring. Deployed in mining operations, factories, and municipal infrastructure. Real-time alerts when readings exceed safe thresholds.
GPS and LBS-based tracking systems for vehicles, equipment, and inventory. Hardware trackers, mobile apps, and web dashboards with geofencing, route optimisation, and utilisation analytics. Used across logistics and agriculture sectors.
IoT-enabled smart meters for electricity, water, and gas. Automated meter reading, consumption analytics, leak/theft detection, and demand forecasting. Integrates with existing billing and revenue management systems.
Intelligence at the edge and in the cloud — making IoT systems proactive, not just reactive. For deeper AI capabilities, these integrate with our Intelligent Monitoring & AIoT service.
Run lightweight ML models directly on microcontrollers and edge gateways (ESP32, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson). Detect equipment faults, environmental breaches, or security incidents in milliseconds — with or without cloud connectivity.
AI models that analyse sensor time-series data to predict when machinery will fail. Schedule maintenance before breakdowns happen. Reduce downtime and extend equipment life. Proven in mining and manufacturing environments.
Camera-based IoT systems with on-device AI for quality inspection, intrusion detection, traffic monitoring, and crowd analysis. All processing happens at the edge — only alerts and metadata are sent to the cloud.
AI-powered alerting that learns normal operating patterns and only notifies when something truly unusual happens. Reduce alert fatigue. Automated responses — close a valve, shut down a motor, dispatch a technician — without human intervention.
Proven hardware and software platforms for building reliable IoT systems.
ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson. Firmware in C/C++, MicroPython, and Rust. Custom PCB design for production-ready sensor nodes and gateways.
MQTT, CoAP, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Zigbee, Bluetooth BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet. Cellular modems (2G/3G/4G) for remote sites. Mesh networking for wide-area sensor coverage.
AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Mosquitto/EMQX (self-hosted). Node.js and Python backends. Time-series databases (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB). Stream processing with Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.
Grafana, custom React/Vue dashboards, mobile apps (Flutter, React Native). Real-time maps with Leaflet/Mapbox. Automated reporting via email and WhatsApp.
