Industrial, Agricultural & Utility IoT
Monitoring and control for pump sets, three-phase power, industrial switching, and utility metering — over 4G, NB-IoT, or LoRa.
Explore the ArchitectureArchitecture
Industrial deployments live in environments that do not forgive optimistic engineering. Our architecture for this domain assumes that the device will be installed once, by a technician with a torch and a wrench, and then forgotten for a decade. Sensors are non-intrusive where the application allows — magnetic, inductive, or optical pickups that read existing meters and machinery without breaking calibration seals.
The edge controller carries the radio, a microcontroller, a primary lithium pack, and an ingress-sealed enclosure. There is no display, no keypad — anything that does not need to be there is a long-term failure mode that has been removed. Telemetry is duty-cycled, with the radio waking only after a full reading frame has accumulated locally.
The backend is operator-agnostic: a customer can land readings on our managed cloud or on their own IoT platform via REST or MQTT. We have done both, multiple times.
Engineering Approach
Battery life is treated as a contract, not an aspiration. Every device design carries a written power budget — quiescent current, radio-on time, MCU active windows, sensor pickup current, self-discharge of the cell — that is bench-validated before the firmware ships. A 10-year service life on a 19 Ah primary cell is achievable, but only if every microamp is accounted for.
Tamper detection is engineered in: magnets, vibration, casing removal, and mounting-orientation changes all generate distinct signatures on the uplink so the operator can flag suspect installations without manual audits.
Field deployments include a rolling cohort programme — we pick a sample of installed devices and analyse months of telemetry to tune adaptive filters and detect drift in the underlying sensor population.
Standards & Compliance
Radio compliance covers NB-IoT under 3GPP Release 13/14, LoRaWAN under the LoRa Alliance specifications, and EN 300 220 for the relevant Indian and European sub-GHz allocations. Industrial environment qualification follows IEC 60068-2 for thermal, vibration, and humidity exposure.
Cybersecurity is to IEC 62443 for industrial control system contexts, with signed firmware, encrypted-at-rest credentials, and a documented vulnerability handling process. Utility-meter retrofits respect the seal regime mandated by CGD and DGCA for the application class.
