Hardware engineering
Determinds provides hardware engineering for manufacturing, covering industrial IoT devices, firmware, and the software they report to, so every machine and production line on your factory floor feeds the same system your team already uses.
01 Industrial IoT
IoT devices that connect your factory floor to your systems
Determinds designs, builds, and maintains IoT devices for manufacturers, from sensor hardware and firmware to the dashboards and integrations that turn machine data into decisions.
Machine monitoring
Sensors and controllers that track machine status, cycle counts, temperature, vibration, and energy use on each line, in real time.
Custom device design
Devices designed around the machines and conditions on your floor, built to withstand dust, heat, vibration, and electrical noise.
Firmware development
Firmware written and maintained by the same team that builds the software each device reports to, with updates delivered remotely.
Connectivity and telemetry
Device data delivered into your ERP, manufacturing, and operations platforms through documented APIs, so it appears alongside everything else your team monitors.
Integrations and API developmentProduction dashboards
Live views of output, downtime, and machine health for supervisors and managers, with alerts when a reading moves outside its limits.
Support after deployment
Firmware updates, monitoring, and maintenance after launch, under the same service-level agreement as your software.
Maintenance and support02 How we deliver
From a survey of your floor to devices on every line
Site survey
Our team studies your machines, production lines, and existing systems, and agrees which readings matter most to your operations.
Prototype
A working prototype is fitted to a single machine and tested against real production conditions before the design is fixed.
Firmware and software
Firmware and the software it reports to are built together by one team, against one set of API contracts.
Pilot line
Devices run on one production line first, so readings are validated and dashboards refined before a wider rollout.
Rollout
Devices are installed, configured, and commissioned across your lines, with documentation and training for your team.
Support and maintenance
Determinds maintains the devices, the firmware, and the software after launch under a service-level agreement.
Built for the conditions of a factory floor
Every device is designed for the environment it works in and the systems it reports to.
- Readings
- Machine status, cycle counts, temperature, vibration, energy use
- Connectivity
- Wired and wireless options chosen for each site
- Integration
- ERP, manufacturing, and operations platforms through documented APIs
- Updates
- Remote firmware updates, with rollback
03 Frequently asked
Questions about IoT hardware engineering
What kind of hardware engineering does Determinds do?
Determinds builds industrial IoT devices for manufacturing, covering sensors, controllers, and firmware that monitor machines and production lines, and brings their data into the systems your team already uses.
Can the devices work with the machines we already have?
Yes. Our team surveys your machines first and designs each device to fit them, so existing equipment can report its status without being replaced.
Can the data connect to our ERP or manufacturing systems?
Yes. Determinds connects each device to your existing platforms through documented APIs, so machine data appears alongside the rest of your operations.
Does Determinds install the devices on site?
Yes. Determinds pilots devices on one production line, then installs and commissions them across your floor, with documentation and training for your team.
Who maintains the devices after deployment?
The team that built them. Determinds maintains the devices, the firmware, and the software they report to under a service-level agreement, with 24/7 support and monitoring.
