Project lifecycle

A clear path from idea to a system that runs itself.

IoT projects touch hardware, software and your people. Our seven-stage process keeps all three moving together — with a working pilot before full rollout, so there are no surprises.

  1. 01

    Discover

    ~1 week

    We visit your site, walk the process with the people who run it, and document what needs to be measured, connected or automated — and why.

    We deliver

    • Site survey & photos
    • Requirement document
    • Success metrics

    From you

    • Access to site & key staff
    • Existing machine / software details
  2. 02

    Feasibility & proof of concept

    1–3 weeks

    We test the riskiest parts first — talking to your machine's protocol, reading a plate in your lighting, measuring your tank — so we know the approach works before you invest further.

    We deliver

    • Working bench / on-site PoC
    • Hardware shortlist
    • Fixed proposal & timeline

    From you

    • Sample data or device access
    • Go / no-go decision
  3. 03

    Design — hardware + software together

    1–2 weeks

    System architecture, device placement, wiring and enclosures are designed alongside the data model, dashboards and integrations — so each side is built for the other.

    We deliver

    • System architecture
    • Installation layout
    • Dashboard wireframes

    From you

    • Feedback on screens & reports
    • Integration credentials / APIs
  4. 04

    Build & test

    2–6 weeks

    Firmware, gateways, backend and apps are developed in parallel and tested end to end in our lab against simulated and real devices.

    We deliver

    • Assembled & tested hardware
    • Firmware + software release
    • Weekly progress demos

    From you

    • Demo feedback
    • Site readiness (power, network)
  5. 05

    Pilot on site

    2–4 weeks

    We install at one location or line and run it live alongside your current process. We tune thresholds, rules and screens based on real-world data and user feedback.

    We deliver

    • Pilot installation
    • Tuning & fixes
    • Pilot results report

    From you

    • Daily users for feedback
    • Sign-off for rollout
  6. 06

    Deploy & train

    Varies by scale

    Full rollout across all sites, commissioning of every device, data migration where needed, and hands-on training for operators, supervisors and admins.

    We deliver

    • Installation & commissioning
    • User & admin training
    • Documentation & handover

    From you

    • Site access schedule
    • Final acceptance
  7. 07

    Support & scale

    Ongoing

    We monitor device health and system uptime, handle maintenance and updates, and help you extend the system to new sites, machines or use cases.

    We deliver

    • Health monitoring & alerts
    • Firmware & software updates
    • AMC & on-site service

    From you

    • Issue reports via support desk
    • Ideas for what's next
Ways to work with us

Pick the engagement that suits your project.

Pilot first

Start with a single site or line. Prove the value with real data, then scale with confidence. Ideal for new or unproven use cases.

Fixed-scope project

A defined system, timeline and price agreed after feasibility. Best when requirements are clear and the solution is proven.

Long-term partner

Ongoing development, new sites and new features under an annual agreement — with priority support included.
