Device Software and Control Systems Built for Real World Operations

Embedded Development · Industrial Integration · India · Ireland · Europe and USA.

Hardware only works when you can actually see what it is doing. We build the software layer that connects your devices and gives you complete control over your operations.

Why IOT

Hardware Alone Does Not Run Your Operation. The Software Around It Does

vending machine

Most connected device projects fail quietly. The hardware works perfectly fine on its own, but nobody can see it, control it or trust its data once it leaves the factory. That gap between physical devices and the people who need to use them is exactly where we work.

We write the firmware that runs on the device, the middleware that talks to your existing PLCs and control systems and the dashboards your team relies on every morning. Managing a single machine by hand is easy. Tracking a hundred locations across a country is not. Our IoT solutions are designed specifically to solve that problem.

Our European clients also get a local point of contact through our Ireland office, with delivery handled by the same engineering team behind every project we run.

How We Work
WHAT WE BUILD

What We Build

A Device Is Only as Useful as the System Watching Over It

Device to Cloud Platforms

We connect your hardware straight to a cloud backend, so every reading, event and command moves between the device and your system without a gap. This is the foundation layer that everything else in your IoT setup depends on.

Monitoring and Control Dashboards

A single screen that shows what every device is doing right now, from battery level to fault codes, and lets your team step in and act the moment something needs attention, not after a customer complains.

PLC and Industrial Control Integration

Your existing PLCs and control panels do not need to be replaced to become part of a modern system. We build the middleware that lets them talk to cloud software, so commands and status updates flow both ways without touching the hardware you already trust.

Embedded Firmware and Microcontroller Builds

The code that runs directly on the device, handling sensors, actuators and local decisions even when the connection drops. This is where reliability gets built in from the start rather than patched on later.

Data Pipelines Built for Device Telemetry

Raw signals from hundreds of devices are not useful on their own. We build the pipelines that clean, route and structure that data so it shows up as an alert, a trend line or a decision your team can act on.

Full Connected Environments

When a business runs many devices across many sites, the real work is tying it all together. We design the environment that lets facilities, retail networks and supply chains run on one connected system instead of a dozen disconnected ones.

OUR APPROACH

How We Approach IoT and Connected Systems Projects

01

Map the Physical Layer

Before writing a single line of code, we physically look at your devices, sensors, controllers and existing infrastructure. This step tells us exactly what protocols, integrations and real-world constraints your new system needs to work around.

02

Design for Reliability First

Connected systems fail differently than standard software. We design explicitly for dropped connections, device-level fallback and graceful recovery so your daily operations do not grind to a halt just because one unit goes offline.

03

Build and Field Test

We develop your software alongside real hardware, not just inside simulated digital environments. Firmware, middleware and dashboards are completely validated against actual devices before we ever talk about a wider rollout.

04

Monitor and Support Post-Launch

Connected systems need constant visibility once they go live. We keep tabs on device health, network uptime and data pipelines while staying right by your side as you scale up with new locations, protocols or devices.

TECH STACK

Built on the Tools That Scale

We do not build infrastructure with frameworks we are just experimenting with. These are the battle-tested technologies we use every day to run production systems across multiple industries and countries.

INDUSTRY AGNOSTIC BY DESIGN

Built for any industry that runs on devices

The core engineering stays the same from one industry to the next. The only things that change are what your devices are doing and who is looking at the dashboard.

  • Device-to-Cloud Platforms Powering real-time connectivity for food service, hospitality, retail, healthcare and logistics.
  • Monitoring and Control Dashboards Giving operational visibility to facilities management, manufacturing, agriculture and utilities.
  • PLC and Industrial Control Integration Connecting existing hardware for manufacturing, food and beverage production, warehousing and energy.
  • Embedded Firmware and Microcontroller Builds Writing reliable device code for consumer hardware, automotive fleets, security systems and agriculture.
  • Data Pipelines Built for Device Telemetry Structuring complex data streams for healthcare, energy, utilities, manufacturing and retail.
  • Full Connected Environments Unifying entire operations across hospitality, real estate, PropTech, supply chains and healthcare.

National Food Service Platform: Connected Machines at Scale

  • Ireland
  • Europe
  • Cloud Native
  • IoT
  • Device Monitoring

A national food service operator came to us with a simple ask that hides massive complexity. They wanted people to walk up to a machine, order food and walk away with no one standing behind a counter. We built the software layer connecting every hot food and vending unit into one platform to make that work.

Fork theory

Every machine has unique physical limits. Some dispense from individually loaded slots while others use coil rows. Our production planning respects exactly what each unit can hold instead of guessing. Customers simply scan a QR code to order and pay then watch their food move from preparing to ready on screen.

Things do go wrong occasionally. When a machine fails to dispense an item, a refund fires the moment it happens with no forms to fill out and no waiting around. Every unit phones home to a single dashboard showing whether it is online, offline or in maintenance so the team handles the whole fleet at a glance instead of driving out to check.

Collatzinc built and owns every layer of this platform from the machine integration to the cloud backend and the daily dashboard. One client, one team and no vendors to stitch together.

  • Two Machine Types Connected on One Platform
