Get your IoT architecture right from the start
Devices, connectivity, security and deployment: architecture and integration guidance from the team that builds Thinger.io, from a first review of your plans to a turnkey system delivered.
- Device selection
- Connectivity and security
- Deployment architecture
- Advice to turnkey
The starting point
The questions every project starts with
Four decisions shape every IoT project. We have made them across many devices and deployments, and that experience is what you get at the table.
Devices
What devices should we use?
- Sensors
- Controllers
- Off the shelf or custom
Installation
Where will they be installed?
- Indoor or outdoor
- Fixed or mobile
- Mains or battery
Connection
Which type of data connection?
- WiFi
- Cellular
- LoRaWAN
- Ethernet
Transport
How does the data travel safely?
- Device credentials
- TLS
- Access control
The service
What consulting covers
Six topics, each one ending in a decision you can build on.
A hardware shortlist: sensors, controllers and gateways, with the chosen options checked and the decision that no custom board is needed.

ARCHITECTURE BEFORE HARDWARE
How it works
From first conversation to delivered system
Not every engagement runs the full arc. Stop after a couple of sessions, or hand over the whole build.
Tell us about your project
A short description is enough. We come back with the questions that matter.
We analyze your needs together
Working sessions on your case and its constraints, from hardware to software.
You get a proposed solution
A concrete architecture, iterated with you until it meets your expectations.
Development, with demos along the way
If you want it built, our engineers implement it and show progress while changes are cheap.
Turnkey delivery
The finished system is handed over to you, running.
Who it is for
Where guidance earns its keep
Teams scoping a new project
The technical decisions are still open, and this is the cheapest moment to get them right.
Prototypes heading to production
It works on the bench and now has to survive the field, the fleet and the years.
Organisations that want it built
No IoT team in house, a clear problem, and a preference for receiving a working system.
Proof
From advice to working hardware
Two engagements that ran the whole arc, from the first review to hardware working in the field.
Case study · Innovation project
Prosegur: a smart lock with no keys and no batteries
Hardware consultancy on a high security lock, custom electronics, BLE firmware, a courier app and its backend: one engagement, from competition win to field pilot.
- Scope
- Hardware to backend
- Stage
- Field pilot
Case study · Cash in transit
An onboard controller for high security trucks
A cash transport operator asked for trucks that authorize every opening. Thinger.io built the controller from scratch, from the first parts list to a pilot on the road.
- Hardware and materials
- Revolution Pi PLC
- Control cabinet
- Communications
- Control rules
- CAN bus reading
