# IoT product engineering

Axio Intelligence builds the software layer that turns a connected device into a product you can sell: embedded firmware, device-to-cloud ingestion, command-and-control APIs, secure over-the-air updates, and the fleet console your operations team and customers use every day. We take a device from working prototype to a managed fleet in the field.

[Scope your project](https://axiointelligence.com/book/) 

## You probably need this if…

- The hardware works on the bench, but there’s no reliable way to reach, update or command units in the field.

- Your connectivity vendor shipped SIMs and modules, and the project stalled on firmware and cloud.

- Customers or a utility want an API, a dashboard and uptime numbers before they buy.

- You need OTA updates you can trust before the next thousand units ship.

## What you get

### Embedded firmware

Device application, power budgeting, watchdogs, store-and-forward, and command handling on Zephyr, FreeRTOS or embedded Linux.

### Device-to-cloud pipeline

Ingestion over MQTT, LwM2M, CoAP or HTTPS into a time-series store, with device identity and TLS end to end.

### Command & control API

Acknowledged commands, desired-vs-reported state, scheduling and audit trail, so every command is traceable.

### Secure OTA

Signed, staged, resumable firmware updates with rollback and fleet cohorts.

### Fleet console

Operator and customer dashboards: health, alerts, configuration, maps and exports.

### Integrations

ERP, CRM, utility and C2 systems via REST, webhooks and message queues.

## What we work in

Rust, C / C++, Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, Embedded Linux / Yocto, Buildroot, nRF91, Quectel, MQTT / Sparkplug B, LwM2M, CoAP, OPC UA, NATS JetStream, AWS IoT Core, Blues Notecard, Particle, Memfault, Mender / SWUpdate / RAUC, TUF / Uptane, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse

Named platforms and standards describe what we build with and build to; they don’t imply a formal partnership or certification with the vendor.

Typical engagement

**Shape:** Scoping sprint, then a fixed-scope build to a fielded pilot

**Timeline:** Typical pilot-to-production build: 8–16 weeks

**Pricing:** Fixed fee, quoted after scoping

**IP:** You own the code and designs

### Dealer telematics and lot management, rebuilt from scratch

Axio built the platform end to end — software, hardware sourcing, field testing and production rollout.

## IoT product engineering: common questions

### Can you pick up an IoT project that has stalled?

Yes — that is the most common way we start. We audit what exists (hardware, firmware, cloud, connectivity contract), keep what works, and ship the missing layer, usually firmware command handling, the cloud pipeline and a fleet console. You keep the code and the IP.

### Do you work with our existing connectivity provider?

Yes. We build on the connectivity you already have — cellular, satellite or private LTE — and hand connectivity decisions back to you and your provider.

### Which cloud do you build on?

Usually AWS, and also GCP, Azure or your own infrastructure. We default to boring, well-supported managed services so your team can run the system after hand-off.

### How do you handle over-the-air updates safely?

Signed images, staged rollouts by cohort, resumable downloads over constrained links, health checks after update, and automatic rollback. We design OTA before the first fleet ships, not after.

## Often paired with
