  • Firmware OTA update UX embedded into mobile apps
  • Accessibility-compliant UI/UX design (Figma, Adobe XD)

Scalable cloud platforms purpose-built for connected devices. We design cloud backends that understand device communication patterns — MQTT telemetry streams, binary protocol payloads, high-frequency sensor data, and real-time device command dispatch.

  • REST and GraphQL APIs for device and app integration
  • Real-time MQTT and WebSocket servers for live device communication
  • User authentication, authorization, and device provisioning
  • Database design: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB for time-series data
  • AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub integration and custom IoT platform development
  • Multi-tenant architecture for device fleet segmentation
  • Horizontal scalability for millions of connected device endpoints

Your devices generate data every second. We help you turn that raw telemetry into product decisions, proactive support, and new revenue opportunities — through purpose-built analytics pipelines and machine learning models trained on real device behavior.

  • Telemetry ingestion pipelines and usage analytics
  • Predictive maintenance models — detect failure before it happens
  • Anomaly detection for device health and user behavior
  • BI dashboards: Grafana, Kibana, Tableau, Power BI
  • Performance monitoring and alerting systems
  • Edge inference for on-device ML (TensorFlow Lite, Edge Impulse)
  • Usage pattern analysis for product roadmap decisions

06 — OTA Updates & Lifecycle Management

Launch is not the end — it’s the beginning. We architect OTA update capabilities into your devices from day one, so you can push new firmware, fix bugs, and add features to every device in the field without a single manual recall or service visit.

  • Secure OTA firmware update mechanisms with cryptographic verification
  • Delta (differential) update support to minimize update payload size
  • Version management, rollback, and A/B partition schemes
  • Fleet monitoring dashboards — update progress across all devices
  • Remote diagnostics and logging without physical device access
  • Device provisioning automation at manufacturing and field scale
  • Integration with Mender, AWS IoT Jobs, and custom OTA platforms
