Sense
Sensors, signal conditioning and drivers capture what the hardware experiences, accurately and at low power.
Intelligent engineering: hardware run by software
We make hardware smart
Machines, devices and equipment are only as capable as the software running them. akranIQ engineers that software, from firmware to cloud and AI, so your hardware can sense, connect, decide and act on its own.
Sense · Connect · Think · ActSoftware that closes the loop on hardware
20+ yearsof device, IoT and solution architecture experience
Chip to cloudfirmware, connectivity, cloud and apps from one team
Secure by designsigned OTA updates, secure boot and device identity built in from the start
Edge AIintelligence that runs on the device, within its power and memory limits
Software is what gives hardware its behaviour
A sensor, a motor or a medical device is just silicon and metal until software gives it behaviour. We build that layer end to end, so the hardware you design becomes a connected, self-aware, continuously improving product.
- Firmware and real-time control that run the hardware reliably
- Wireless and wired connectivity: BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, cellular, USB
- Edge AI that decides on the device, not only in the cloud
- Cloud platforms and apps that monitor, analyse and update every unit
- Secure over-the-air updates so hardware keeps improving after it ships
How hardware becomes intelligent
Every smart product follows the same loop. We engineer each layer and the seams between them.
Connect
Secure device-to-cloud links and protocol gateways join devices to each other and to enterprise IT/OT systems.
Think
Edge and cloud intelligence turn raw data into decisions: detection, prediction, optimisation.
Act
Closed-loop control and signed over-the-air updates put decisions into motion and keep improving them.
Services
Three ways we put intelligence into hardware, from regulated devices to full product builds.
Embedded Healthcare Services
Regulated software for medical devices: SiMD, SaMD, AI-enabled diagnostics and connected health, built to fit your quality system and regulatory process.

Why us
Hardware teams and software teams often work in different worlds. akranIQ works in the space between them, where devices, firmware, networks and intelligence have to behave as one system.
- One team across hardware-near firmware, connectivity, cloud, apps and AI
- Traceable requirements, testing and documentation from day one, ready for regulated projects
- Security and update paths designed in, not bolted on before release
- Open protocols and clean interfaces that fit the systems you already run
- Flexible engagement: fixed scope, dedicated team or team extension
Work models that fit your project
Start small with a proof of concept, or bring us in as your full medical software team.
Fixed-scope project
A defined deliverable, such as a device control app or an OTA update system, at an agreed price and timeline.
Dedicated team
An akranIQ team of embedded, app, cloud and QA engineers working as your product team over the long term.
Team extension
Specialist engineers who join your existing team to add firmware, connectivity or AI skills.
Intelligent engineering: your questions, answered
What does akranIQ do?
akranIQ makes hardware smart. We engineer the software that lets devices, machines and equipment sense, connect, decide and act, covering firmware, connectivity, cloud platforms, apps and edge AI, from chip to cloud.
What is intelligent engineering?
Intelligent engineering is building products where software runs the hardware: sensors capture data, firmware and connectivity move it, AI decides on the device or in the cloud, and updates keep improving the product after it ships.
Which industries does akranIQ serve?
Healthcare and medical devices, industrial automation, smart buildings and energy, robotics and mobility, consumer and wearable devices, and logistics and asset tracking.
Does akranIQ work on regulated products?
Yes. For medical devices and other regulated products, we work within your quality system and development process, with traceable requirements, test evidence and the documentation your regulatory team needs.
Can akranIQ add AI or IoT to an existing device?
Yes. We add connectivity, on-device AI (edge AI), cloud and apps to products you already make, as well as building new connected devices. See our AIoT and edge AI development page for how it works.
Where is akranIQ based?
akranIQ is an engineering company based in India, working with device makers in India and internationally.
How can we work with akranIQ?
As a fixed-scope project, a dedicated team or a team extension. You can start small with a proof of concept and scale up. Use the contact form to describe your device and timeline.
