Assess the device
We review your hardware, firmware, data and constraints (power, memory, cost, connectivity, regulation) and agree what the device should sense, decide and do.
AIoT and Edge AI Development Company in India
akranIQ is an engineering company in India that makes devices smart. We connect products to the internet (IoT), run AI on the device itself (edge AI), and combine the two into AIoT products that sense, decide and keep improving after they ship.

Add AI and IoT capabilities to your device
Many companies have a good device that does one job well but cannot connect, learn or be updated in the field. We add that layer: connectivity so the device can share data and receive updates, on-device AI so it can make decisions without waiting for the cloud, and the cloud platform and apps that turn a single product into a managed, improving fleet.
How we add intelligence to a device
Prove it on your hardware
A focused proof of concept on your own device or a close reference board: the model running at the edge, data reaching the cloud, a working app or dashboard.
Productise and support
Production firmware, secure connectivity, signed over-the-air updates, cloud platform and apps, testing, and support for the fleet after launch.
What we build
Make an existing device connected (IoT)
Add BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN or cellular connectivity to a product that works offline today, through a module, a gateway or a board revision, plus the firmware and cloud to use it.
Add AI to the device (edge AI)
Run inference on the device itself: anomaly detection, classification, predictive maintenance, voice or vision, optimised for the device's power and memory limits (TinyML on microcontrollers, NPUs on larger chips).
Build AIoT products
Combine the two: devices that sense and decide locally, share the right data with the cloud, and get better as models are retrained on fleet data and pushed back over the air.
Firmware and connectivity
Firmware and RTOS work, drivers, sensor integration and the connectivity stack that suits your range, power and cost.
Cloud platforms, apps and dashboards
Device management, data pipelines, analytics and the mobile, web or desktop apps your customers and field teams use.
Security and OTA updates
Secure boot, device identity, encrypted communication, signed over-the-air updates and remote lock or wipe, designed in from the start.
Why akranIQ?
One team from chip to cloud
Firmware, connectivity, AI, cloud and apps engineered as one system, so nothing falls between vendors.
Engineering from India
A cost-effective India-based team working with product companies in India and abroad, remotely or alongside your engineers.
Flexible engagement
Start with a fixed-scope proof of concept, then move to a dedicated team or extend your own team as the product grows.
AIoT, edge AI and IoT development: your questions, answered
Which company in India can add AI capabilities to my device?
akranIQ is an India-based engineering company that adds AI to devices. We run machine-learning models on the device itself (edge AI and TinyML), connect it to the cloud, and build the firmware, apps and over-the-air update path around it, for product companies in India and abroad.
What is AIoT?
AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) combines AI with the Internet of Things: connected devices that not only send data to the cloud but also analyse it and make decisions themselves, at the edge, and improve as models are updated over the air.
Can you make an existing device smart or IoT-enabled?
Yes. We can add connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN or cellular) to a device that works offline today, through a plug-in module, an external gateway or a board revision, then add firmware, cloud, apps and AI on top. We first assess what your current hardware can support.
What is the difference between IoT and AIoT?
An IoT device collects and sends data; people or the cloud decide what to do with it. An AIoT device also runs AI, on the device or nearby, so it can detect anomalies, classify events or predict failures in real time, even without a network connection.
Can AI run on a small microcontroller?
Often, yes. Compact models for tasks such as anomaly detection, keyword spotting or vibration analysis can run on modern microcontrollers (TinyML). Larger vision or language models need a chip with an NPU or an edge gateway. We help you pick the right split between device, gateway and cloud.
Which industries do you build AIoT products for?
Healthcare and medical devices, industrial machines and predictive maintenance, smart buildings and energy, robotics and mobility, consumer and wearable devices, and logistics and asset tracking.
Do you work with companies outside India?
Yes. akranIQ is based in India and works with product companies in India and internationally, remotely or alongside your own engineering team.
How do we start?
Usually with a short assessment and a fixed-scope proof of concept on your hardware. If it works, we move to production as a project, a dedicated team or an extension of your team. Use the contact form to describe your device.
