IOT PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT

Connect thousands of devices without drowning in data

We build IoT platforms that take a reading off a sensor and turn it into a decision in milliseconds. Device provisioning, real-time telemetry, edge processing, dashboards your operators trust. The infrastructure underneath holds whether you're running 100 devices or 100,000.

THE PROBLEM

Sound familiar?

01

Device management does not scale

Provisioning, firmware updates, and monitoring for 50 devices is manageable. At 5,000 devices across 20 locations, your manual processes collapse.

02

Data overload without insight

Sensors generate terabytes of raw data. Without proper pipelines, aggregation, and alerting, the data sits in storage while operators miss critical anomalies.

03

Protocol fragmentation slows everything

MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, Modbus, BLE. Every device speaks a different language, and building adapters for each protocol delays your roadmap by months.

THE SOLUTION

What you get

01

Device Management

Automated provisioning, registration, grouping, and lifecycle management. Track device health, connectivity, and metadata from a single dashboard.

02

OTA Firmware Updates

Push firmware updates to device fleets with staged rollouts, rollback capability, and update verification. Zero-downtime deployment.

03

Real-Time Data Pipelines

Ingest millions of events per minute through MQTT brokers, stream processors, and time-series databases. Filter, transform, and route in real time.

04

Edge Computing Layer

Deploy processing logic to edge gateways for local decision-making, reduced latency, and bandwidth optimization. Sync with cloud when connected.

05

Operational Dashboards

Real-time Grafana-powered dashboards with custom widgets, threshold alerts, anomaly detection, and historical trend analysis.

06

Protocol Abstraction

Unified ingestion layer that normalizes MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, Modbus, and BLE data into a consistent schema. Add new protocols without platform changes.

PROCESS

From first call to production

01

IoT Architecture Design

Define device types, communication protocols, data models, and cloud architecture. Plan for your current scale and 10x growth.

02

Pipeline Development

Build the ingestion, processing, and storage layers. Implement device management APIs and the protocol abstraction layer.

03

Dashboard & Integration

Deploy operational dashboards, alerting rules, and integrate with your existing ERP, SCADA, or business intelligence tools.

04

Scale & Optimize

Load-test at 10x expected volume, optimize query performance, implement auto-scaling, and establish monitoring baselines.

WHY GEMINATE SOLUTIONS

How we compare to your other options

VS BUILDING IN-HOUSE

A senior team in days, not a 3-month build-out

No recruitment grind, no ramp-up gaps. We assign a senior team that ships in days, not after a 3-month hiring pipeline. Scale up or down with 2-week notice.

VS A FREELANCE MARKETPLACE

One accountable team that owns delivery

No juggling individuals you manage yourself. No ghosting. A dedicated team builds your product end to end, runs its own code reviews, and stays accountable for what ships.

VS LARGE AGENCIES

Direct access, no middlemen

You talk directly to the team building your product and to our founders, not account managers. Same quality, transparent scoping, and no 6-month lock-in contracts. Cancel anytime.

Book a 15-minute call
What IoT protocols do you support?
We support MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/REST, WebSockets, Modbus (TCP/RTU), BLE, and LoRaWAN out of the box. Our protocol abstraction layer lets us add new protocols without changing your application code.
How do you handle IoT security?
Every device gets unique X.509 certificates for mutual TLS authentication. We implement device identity management, encrypted communication channels, secure boot verification, and network segmentation between device and application layers.
Can you integrate with existing SCADA or industrial systems?
Yes. We integrate with SCADA systems via OPC-UA and Modbus protocols, and with industrial historians like OSIsoft PI. We bridge legacy operational technology with modern cloud platforms.
How much does custom IoT platform development cost?
The number follows the scope. Basic device management is the smallest build. Add real-time pipelines and live dashboards and you're into serious engineering. Edge computing plus SCADA integration is the deep end. What really drives cost: device volume, the protocols you're juggling, and how much data flows through per day. We'll scope it on a free call and give you a firm figure up front.
How long does IoT platform development take?
Basic device management: 10-14 weeks. Full platform with real-time data pipelines: 20-28 weeks. Enterprise with edge computing: 8-14 months.
Can you handle millions of IoT events per day?
Yes. We architect for scale using MQTT brokers, Apache Kafka, and time-series databases, with platforms built to handle high-throughput event streams at low latency. Auto-scaling handles traffic spikes without manual intervention.

How We Engage

We do not rent you a developer to babysit. You get a senior-led team that ships, in whichever shape fits the work. Pricing is scoped to your project, so you see the number before anyone writes a line of code.

Dedicated team

An embedded squad that works as your own team, on your standups and your board, for as long as you need it.

Fixed-scope build

A defined project with a scoped price and timeline. You know the cost up front, not after.

Pilot sprint

A short paid sprint so you see how we work and what we ship before committing to more.
