Custom IoT Hardware Design & Development Solutions
IoT Hardware Design
The Backbone of Every Connected Product
As the world gets smarter, devices are no longer just physical machines—they're intelligent, connected, and data-driven. From electric vehicles to smart farms, what powers this transformation at the core is custom-built IoT hardware.
The Rise of IoT Hardware Across Industries
From electric vehicles to industrial automation, IoT hardware design is transforming how industries operate. Businesses are rapidly adopting intelligent hardware systems to collect real-time data, improve process efficiency, and enhance decision-making.
Today, IoT hardware powers applications such as:
- Automotive Products
- Manufacturing Solutions
- Automobile Services
- Healthcare Applications
- Digital Twin Systems
- Metaverse Integration
đź“Š With over 27 billion connected IoT devices expected by 2025 (IoT Analytics), the demand for robust, scalable hardware design has never been higher.

What Is IoT Hardware and Why It Matters
At the heart of any IoT system lies its hardware—the physical layer that gathers data, processes inputs, and communicates with the cloud or local networks. This hardware can include
- Sensors that detect environmental or operational changes
- Microcontrollers that process the data
- Gateways that transfer data to the cloud or local servers
- Communication modules for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, or NB-IoT connectivity
Whether you're tracking fleet vehicles, monitoring factory equipment, or managing energy usage, reliable and efficient hardware is essential to ensure performance, longevity, and data accuracy.
The Problem with Commercial Off-The-Shelf Hardware
Many businesses opt for commercial off-the-shelf hardware to get started quickly. While it works for early-stage prototyping, these solutions often fall short when scaling:
- Lack of customization for specific use cases
- Limited integration with proprietary software
- Higher long-term costs due to inefficiencies
- Security vulnerabilities from generic firmware
3 Reasons to Choose Custome IoT Hardware Design
At ThingsAlive, We create IoT hardware that's purpose built - not one size fits all. Here's why thats make a real world difference
Built for Your Use Case
We design every component based on what your application actually needs - whether its for ECU based Heavy Machinary, Smart Agricultural or Industrial Automation
Optimized for Power and Speed
Our hardware uses edge AI and efficient circurity to process data faster while using less power - ideal for remote or battery operated environments
Reduces Long Term Costs
Custom hardware helps avoid over engineering. You pay only for what you need - reducing maintennace, improving uptime, and cutting cost tied to third party components and software licenses
Things Alive Approach to IoT Hardware Design
We combine deep technical expertise with industry use-case knowledge to deliver robust, scalable, and efficient hardware.
Concept-to-Prototype Development
We start with schematic layout, BOM planning, and PCB design. Each component is selected based on function, cost, and durability for the application.
Custom Firmware Integration
Our engineers build intelligent firmware that supports edge analytics, battery monitoring, OTA updates, and communication protocols like CAN, Modbus, and MQTT.
Hardware for Real-World Environments
We design with reality in mind—thermal constraints, vibration, dust, and real-world interference. Whether it’s an EV or industrial equipment, our designs go through rigorous simulation and testing.
Rapid Prototyping and Testing
With in-house labs and simulation tools, we reduce development cycles and get you to market faster—without sacrificing reliability.
Real-World Use Cases at Things Alive
Heavy Machinery – ECU-Based Telematics Systems
We design and deliver custom telematics hardware that connects directly to the ECU of construction and agricultural machinery. From prototype to full deployment, our plug-and-play devices provide instant diagnostics and performance monitoring, along with a tailor-made application.
