From sensor to dashboard: your custom connected devices
The Internet of Things is not just about connecting devices. At KERN-IT, we design complete IoT ecosystems: hardware, firmware, data gateways, real-time backends and monitoring dashboards.
We have developed connected sports machines, smart urban furniture, connected babysitting solutions and network infrastructure for 60 co-living houses. Our IoT stack: MQTT, Mosquitto, Socket.IO, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, TimescaleDB and Grafana.
Our IoT expertise
Hardware & prototyping
Electronic prototype design with Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Sensor selection, communication integration (WiFi, 4G, LoRa). From prototype to industrial production.
Real-time backend
Data collection via MQTT/Mosquitto, optimised storage in TimescaleDB, search and analytics with Elasticsearch, real-time processing with Socket.IO. Event-driven architecture for millions of data points.
Monitoring & dashboards
Custom Grafana dashboards, alerting, real-time visualisation. Multi-site centralisation to remotely manage your equipment.
Types of IoT projects
Connected machines
Electronic and software redesign of industrial equipment. Adding sensors, connectivity and remote control.
Multi-site network infrastructure
Centralised management of multi-site network infrastructure: routers, switches, IoT. SD-WAN supervision with our Kenobi platform (deployed at Venn Telecom). Proactive monitoring and alerting for 60+ sites (IKOAB).
Urban furniture
IoT prototyping for urban design: augmented reality, environmental sensors, interactive interfaces.
Telemetry & Edge
Data collection at the network edge, local processing, cloud synchronisation. Optimised for limited bandwidth environments.

Frequently asked questions
Home automation focuses on housing. IoT covers all industrial use cases: connected machines, environmental sensors, infrastructure monitoring, logistics, agriculture. At KERN-IT, we develop industrial and professional IoT.
Yes. We carried out the complete redesign of a connected sports machine (R-fit): new circuit board, new firmware, backend and application. We audit your hardware and software architecture before proposing a plan.
MQTT and Mosquitto for communication, TimescaleDB for time series storage, Grafana for monitoring, Raspberry Pi and Arduino for prototyping, Socket.IO for real-time. All orchestrated by our Python backends.
A functional IoT prototype starts at €20,000. A complete connected product (hardware + backend + dashboard) ranges between €40,000 and €150,000 depending on complexity and production volume.
