Connected hardware, useful data.

Internet of Things solutions.
From sensor to decision, reliably.

IoT projects rarely fail in the demo — they fail in the field, where signal drops, power is constrained and nobody is waiting for a dashboard. Surfytech engineers for those conditions and connects telemetry to actions someone owns.

  • Built for real conditions
  • Secure by default
  • Data you can act on
Why pilots stall

Data is easy.
Useful data is the work.

Connecting a device proves very little. Installers, weather, battery life, intermittent networks and legacy equipment decide whether a deployment survives past the pilot site.

We start from the action the data should trigger, choose hardware and connectivity around the real environment, and build buffering, alerting and device management in from the first build.

New sensors or existing assets? Most sites already have meters, controllers and PLCs with data trapped in them. Reading what exists is often cheaper and faster than adding hardware.
  • 01
    Engineered for the site

    Power budget, mounting, range and network behaviour treated as requirements, not surprises.

  • 02
    Data that survives gaps

    Buffering and retry on device, so outages cost records, not history.

  • 03
    Alerts with owners

    Thresholds routed to people with a defined response, not another dashboard.

  • 04
    Manageable at scale

    Fleet provisioning, configuration and secure updates planned before rollout.

What we deliver

IoT services covering
the whole chain.

Each service can be delivered alone or as part of a wider connected-operations programme.

IoT strategy & consulting

Use-case definition, hardware and connectivity options, cost model and rollout plan.

Plan the deployment

Device development & integration

Sensor and controller integration, firmware work and reading data from existing equipment.

Discuss devices

Platform development & management

Ingestion, device registry, configuration, dashboards and alerting that scale with sites.

Discuss platforms

IoT analytics & visualisation

Operational metrics, thresholds, forecasting and reporting built around responses.

Discuss analytics

IoT security solutions

Device identity, encrypted transport, access control and patching strategy end to end.

Discuss security
Already own the hardware?

That’s usually good news.

Tell us what is installed today. Reading existing meters, PLCs and controllers often avoids new devices entirely.

Talk through your site
IoT capabilities

Every layer. One accountable team.

Hardware, network, platform and application decisions taken together — because that is where IoT projects come apart.

Device & sensor integration

Protocols, wiring, calibration and firmware constraints handled with your equipment vendors.

Connectivity

Cellular, LPWAN, LoRa, Wi-Fi or wired chosen against range, power budget and cost per site.

Edge processing

Local filtering, buffering and control so outages and latency do not stop operations.

Ingestion & streaming

Message brokers, time-series storage and schemas that keep history trustworthy and queryable.

Device management

Provisioning, groups, configuration, health monitoring and secure remote updates.

Dashboards & alerting

Site and fleet views with thresholds, escalation and response tracking built in.

Security & privacy

Device identity, transport encryption, key rotation, least-privilege access and audit trails.

Integration & handover

Telemetry and alerts delivered to your CMMS, ERP, SCADA or BI tools through monitored APIs.

IoT results depend on integration and analytics. Explore system integration, data analytics and manufacturing solutions.
Our IoT process

Prove it on one site.
Then scale with confidence.

Use case → Pilot → Connectivity & ingestion → Platform & apps → Actions → Operate & scale. Each phase ends with evidence from the field.

  1. Use case

    Define the action the data must trigger, the acceptable delay and the failure response.

    Output: deployment brief
  2. Pilot

    Install a small representative set and measure battery, coverage and data quality.

    Output: pilot findings
  3. Connectivity & ingestion

    Confirm network choice, buffering and storage behaviour under real conditions.

    Output: reliable data pipeline
  4. Platform & apps

    Build device registry, dashboards and alerts, integrated with systems of record.

    Output: operational view
  5. Actions

    Wire thresholds to owners, escalation and work orders, then verify responses happen.

    Output: response workflow
  6. Operate & scale

    Roll out to more sites with provisioning, monitoring and update processes in place.

    Output: scaled rollout plan
Platforms & protocols

Open stacks chosen
to stay replaceable.

We favour established open components and standard protocols, so a growing fleet is not held hostage by a single vendor.

  • Apache NiFiDataflow & routing
  • EdgeX FoundryEdge platform
  • ChirpStackLoRaWAN network server
  • MainfluxOpen IoT platform
  • Kaa IoTPlatform & device SDKs
  • DevicePilotFleet monitoring
  • openHABBuilding automation
  • ParticleDevice cloud
Protocols matter more than brands: MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, OPC-UA, LoRaWAN and HTTP are all workable — the site, power budget and latency requirement decide which fits.
Sectors we connect

Deployments shaped by
where the hardware sits.

A warehouse, a fleet and a clinic have almost nothing in common. Environment and response time drive the whole design.

Property & facilities

Building systems, occupancy and maintenance alerts integrated with FM tools.

Connected-operations scenarios

See the asset.
Connect what matters.

The scenarios below illustrate common IoT situations—not published client case studies or measured results. Ask us about relevant deployments in your sector.

Illustrative · Maintenance

Breakdowns found by chance

Challenge: A machine drifts out of tolerance until something jams, and the repair lands on the busiest day.

Approach: Condition monitoring with thresholds that raise a work order before failure.

Discuss condition monitoring →
Illustrative · Cold chain

Storage doubts surface late

Challenge: Temperature excursions are discovered after stock has already moved out of the site.

Approach: Continuous logging with offline buffering and alerts routed to whoever can act.

Discuss monitoring →
Illustrative · Facilities

Meters read on foot

Challenge: Utilities and occupancy data arrive monthly, transcribed, and cannot be questioned.

Approach: Automated collection into one view, with exceptions surfaced for the sites that need attention.

What IoT services does Surfytech provide?

We cover IoT strategy, device and sensor integration, connectivity design, edge processing, data ingestion, platform and device management, analytics and dashboards, security and integration into your existing operational systems.

Can you read data from the equipment we already have?

Usually yes. Most sites have meters, PLCs and controllers that already expose data over Modbus, OPC-UA or vendor protocols, which is often cheaper and faster than installing new sensors.

What happens when connectivity drops?

Devices buffer locally and resend when the link returns, so outages cost delay rather than history. How much buffering is needed is decided by the acceptable delay you define at the start.

How secure are IoT deployments?

We treat devices as untrusted: unique identities, encrypted transport, least-privilege access, key rotation and a patching route for fielded hardware. Security decisions are documented alongside connectivity choices.

Which connectivity should we use?

It depends on range, power budget, data volume and cost per site. Cellular, LPWAN, LoRa, satellite, Wi-Fi and wired all have their place, and a pilot on the real site settles the question cheaply.

Do you support the deployment after rollout?

Yes. Support covers device health monitoring, firmware and configuration updates, platform maintenance and expansion to new sites, with agreed coverage and response expectations.

Scope a connected solution

Let’s connect the asset
without nasty surprises.

Tell us what to monitor or control, where the equipment sits and what response the data should trigger. We’ll advise on hardware, connectivity and platform fit.

No complete specification needed. A clear business goal is a great place to start.

What happens next?

  1. Share the site, assets, environment and the action required.
  2. Discuss hardware options, connectivity, cost and rollout.
  3. Agree a pilot site and the scope for a proposal.
