IoT: Hardware, M2M, Integration with Existing Web Infrastructure, and Mobility

The Internet of Things (IoT) or the world of connected devices and objects has marked the start of the smart world — smart homes, smart cities, smart grids, smart enterprises and smart manufacturing. Everything is going smart and Pentaloop with its multi-faceted tech proficiency perfectly fits into this smart picture. Pentaloop’s team stands as the convergence point for companies looking to put together all the pieces of an IoT puzzle.

  • CONNECT

    Pentaloop deals with multiple communication interfaces and networking protocols — be it NFC, WiFi, BLE, or others — to help you turn static real-life objects into a vault of real-time data and a dynamic network of things feeding meaningful information streams. Avail of Pentaloop’s savvy to equip objects with RFID-tags, beacons or sensors and connect them via gateways to the Internet.

  • COLLECT

    We work both with embedded and advanced distributed web systems to find the best possible solution to capture data, ingest it into data storages and keep it for further use or relay in real-time to endpoint devices. We’ll ensure that no bit of precious information about the physical world will go missing.

  • ACT

    Raw data is as good a solution as stepping onto the battlefield with your bare hands. Pentaloop turns data acquired from IoT system components into actionable info. It is categorized, made searchable and accessible to client apps, and visualized in a manner corresponding to the requirements of endpoint device interfaces.

Connecting the Dots into Advanced IoT Systems

Pentaloop is no stranger to hardcore mastery of hardware design and system software development to create from the ground up custom IoT devices, optimize their performance and plug them into a network of smart things. The whole gamut of these “connected dots” that will become the centerpiece of your IoT system include sensors, beacons, connected electronics, interactive objects and wearable tech.

IoT Development: Which Direction Can We Take You?

When planning massive deployments of IoT projects, cases are rare that you need to reinvent the wheel and build an entire system from scratch. But chances are that you may have a vital part of IoT ecosystem missing or you need it made-to-order. Pentaloop has a strong team of low-level programming old-timers and web development specialists to help you build your connected solution on top of existing IoT application platforms and tune it to the requirements of your business. With versatile tech skills on board our team is also ready to lend you a hand with the missing IoT part, which hinders the fulfillment of your business idea. Pentaloop’s knowledge spans the following areas of expertise to assist your company with IoT undertakings:

Hardware Prototyping Device Design & Hardware Prototyping

Pentaloop creates custom devices from diminutive pins, badges, tags, pendants to sensors for power electronics to LED table-tops and other interactive objects. When the device you need is not on the market, we’ll take on its development from schematics to PCB design, full documentation, verification, and fabrication support.

Microcontrollers Digital Signal Processors & Microcontrollers

Low-level skills underpin Pentaloop’s professional path. Our embedded team will put in place DSPs that will handle multiple real-time analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog tasks to power your sensor network. If you need microcontrollers to solve tasks beyond standard factory default we’ll aid you with real-time application development, processor core, memory, I/O customization.

Sensor Data Acquisition Sensor Data Acquisition, M2M & Data Integration

To process high-volume sensor signals, data from beacons and connected devices, Pentaloop will help you implement robust, performant and secure ETL tools and middleware solutions. We’ll enable interoperability between all heterogeneous components of an IoT system, ensure smooth integrations in the future and eliminate any possibility of personal data being compromised.

 

HMI Device Interfaces — HMI

When an instantaneous response, command output is required from users or vital data should be visualized and always at hand, the Pentaloop team will design touch panels, control displays and web-based human-machine interfaces to operate industrial machinery, complex equipment and manage input-output on connected self-service terminals.

Management BI & Web Dashboards for Device Fleet Management

Web in the world of the Internet of things is put front and center, because it is mainly where most of the magic happens and where data becomes informed decisions. The Pentaloop web team develops advanced business logic for workflow automation in M2M, reporting, analytics and remote control purposes.

Mobile Mobile Apps Remotely Controlling & Relaying Data from Connected Objects

Pentaloop has already tested its competence on the IoT-focused mobile arena, where handhelds serve as remote controls and key output devices utilized on the go. We develop mobile apps and mobile web interfaces that communicate with connected objects like iBeacons and exchange data with IoT storages using JSON and lightweight RESTful APIs.
