A device ships but collects field data at only 60% of the target rate. The hardware vendor blames firmware. The firmware contractor faults the RF environment. The RF consultant cites power management. No one modeled how modem power use, battery discharge, and packet retransmission interact as a system because no single team owned all of them. This ownership gap stalls IoT projects.
This issue frequently delays and inflates budgets for many European device projects, especially for companies new to connected products or established manufacturers adding connectivity without a full redesign.
ACRIOS Systems, a Czech technology company known for its large-scale smart metering deployments, built its custom development practice specifically to offer end-to-end solutions. Instead of fragmented service delivery, ACRIOS provides clients with full project ownership, handling every stage of the product lifecycle from embedded hardware design through OEM production to long-term field maintenance. Clients gain a single accountable partner who streamlines management and minimises integration risk for reliable results.
Connected device creation spans circuit design, PCB layout, firmware, radio protocols, antenna tuning, power management, application software, backend systems, and cybersecurity. Each is specialised.
