akranIQ engineers the software that runs hardware: firmware, connectivity, cloud platforms, apps and edge AI, so devices, machines and equipment can sense, connect, decide and act.

## At a glance

- **20+ years:** of device, IoT and solution architecture experience
- **Chip to cloud:** firmware, connectivity, cloud and apps from one team
- **Secure by design:** signed OTA updates, secure boot and device identity built in from the start
- **Edge AI:** intelligence that runs on the device, within its power and memory limits

## Software is what gives hardware its behaviour

- 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

1. **Sense:** Sensors, signal conditioning and drivers capture what the hardware experiences, accurately and at low power.
2. **Connect:** Secure device-to-cloud links and protocol gateways join devices to each other and to enterprise IT/OT systems.
3. **Think:** Edge and cloud intelligence turn raw data into decisions: detection, prediction, optimisation.
4. **Act:** Closed-loop control and signed over-the-air updates put decisions into motion and keep improving them.

## Frequently asked questions

### 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?
