IoT Device Manufacturing and Custom Hardware Design

Custom Hardware Design and Manufacturing: One Team from Design to Install

Our IoT device manufacturing service covers field requirements that off-the-shelf devices cannot meet. One team designs, builds and installs the electronics, the mechanical enclosure, the embedded firmware and the web and mobile management panel. Automatic meter reading units, kiosks, access control and sensor devices are typical projects. The technical feasibility study is free.

Field requirements rarely match a catalogue. There is no reliable network on site, the enclosure will not survive the environment, or the device simply cannot talk to your software. And when hardware comes from one supplier and software from another, every fault becomes the other party's problem. At Digital Bridge the device and its software are designed together by the same team, so accountability stays in one place.

Circuit and PCB design, mechanical enclosure, embedded firmware, the web and mobile management panel and on-site installation all sit within one project team. Data from the device flows into your ERP, SCADA or in-house software via API. What you get: one point of contact, one written proposal and a device whose data flow has been confirmed on site. In the free technical feasibility study we tell you in writing whether the project is viable and which route makes sense.

IoT device manufacturing: electronics, enclosure and management panel design

Automatic Meter Reading (OSOS)

Water, electricity or gas meters are read without a site visit and values land in a central panel. GPRS, LoRa or NB-IoT is chosen to suit the area. See automatic meter reading.

Kiosk & Self-Service Terminals

Touchscreen terminals that take payments, appointments, queue tickets and document printing off the counter, with enclosure, hardware and software built around your process. See kiosk terminals.

Access Control Systems

RFID/NFC card access for staff and visitors, with turnstile and door integration (card access control). Our own product, SmartPass, combines access, time and attendance and canteen counts in a single card read.

Environmental & Process Monitoring

Temperature, humidity, pressure and flow monitored live. Out-of-range readings alert the right person, and history is reported in the panel.

The IoT Device Manufacturing Process: Six Steps from Idea to Site

01
Needs Analysis & Feasibility

We map site conditions, connectivity, power and the systems the device must talk to. The technical feasibility study is free.

02
Design

Schematic, PCB layout, enclosure and firmware architecture are drawn up, and a written proposal fixes scope and cost.

03
Prototype & Field Test

The prototype is tried in real conditions. Anything that fails goes back into the design before production.

04
Production

The approved design goes into production and every unit is tested before dispatch.

05
Installation & Commissioning

Our team installs the devices, configures the software and confirms data is reaching your systems.

06
Remote Monitoring & Support

Device health is visible in a central panel. Software issues are handled remotely and hardware faults on site.

Custom Device Project Examples

Meter Reading System — Water Utility

GPRS-based meter reading units were designed and built to read water meters across a service area remotely. Fewer crews are sent out for readings and manual reading errors have dropped. All units are monitored from a web-based central panel.

Access Control — Industrial Site

An RFID staff entry and exit system was installed for the production area and office building, delivered with turnstile integration, working-hours tracking and visitor registration in bespoke software. With hardware and software from one supplier, faults and change requests go through a single point of contact.

Self-Service Kiosks — Public Institution

Touchscreen kiosks were designed and built for appointment booking and document submission. Installed at the building entrance, they work with the institution's existing appointment software, so fewer visitors need to queue at the counter for these tasks.

Still Your Point of Contact After Handover

The job ends when the device is installed and data is confirmed flowing into your systems, not when the box is delivered. Software issues are handled remotely and hardware faults on site; technical support runs 24/7 and we serve every province in Turkey. Looking for a ready-made device? See our industrial products and SmartPass; for SmartPass you can request a quote through the SmartPass sales form.

Before you decide, read our guide to the IoT device development process, our LoRa vs NB-IoT vs cellular comparison and our automatic meter reading guide. More articles are on the IoT and hardware guides page.

Questions You May Have

  • "All we have is an idea." That is enough. The needs analysis starts with site conditions, connectivity, power and the systems the device must talk to; no drawings or specification are needed up front.
  • "What if the prototype fails in the field?" The prototype is tested in real conditions, and anything that fails goes back into the design before production. Only the approved design goes into series production.
  • "Will the device talk to our existing software?" Data flows into your ERP, SCADA or in-house software via API, and during commissioning we confirm it is arriving in your systems.
  • "Who will we be dealing with?" Digital Bridge has delivered software and hardware projects from Adana to every province in Turkey since 2013, and every part of the job stays with one team. Scope, phases and cost are set out in a written proposal after a needs analysis, and live systems have 24/7 technical support.

Tell us what you need in the field; our free technical feasibility study will set out in writing whether it can be built and the best route to get there.

Questions we hear most often

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps in IoT device manufacturing?

There are six: needs analysis with a free technical feasibility study; design of the schematic, PCB, enclosure and firmware; a prototype tested in real field conditions; production, with every unit tested before dispatch; installation and commissioning; and remote monitoring and support from a central panel. Scope and cost are fixed in a written proposal at the design stage.

Can we come to you with just an idea for a custom device?

Yes. We work out site conditions, connectivity, power and the systems the device must talk to with you. Before you commit, we carry out a technical feasibility study free of charge and tell you in writing whether the project is viable and which route makes sense. If you are looking for a ready-made device, see our industrial products and SmartPass.

What kinds of devices do you design and build?

Typical projects are automatic meter reading units, kiosks for payments, appointments and document printing, RFID/NFC card access control, and sensor devices that monitor temperature, humidity, pressure and flow. For access control we also offer our own product, SmartPass, which brings door access, time and attendance and canteen counts together on the same card and in one panel.

Which communication technologies do your IoT devices use?

Connectivity is chosen to suit the area and site conditions where the device will run. Meter reading units, for example, can use GPRS, LoRa or NB-IoT. The choice is made during needs analysis and feasibility, and because the prototype is tested in the field, connectivity problems surface and go back into the design before production.

Can device data flow into our existing software?

Yes. Data from the device is passed to your ERP, SCADA or in-house software via API. During commissioning our team installs the devices, configures the software and confirms data is reaching your systems. The job ends when data is confirmed flowing, not when the box is delivered.

Do you provide maintenance and support after handover?

Yes. Device health is visible in a central panel; software issues are handled remotely and hardware faults on site. Technical support runs 24/7 across every province in Turkey. Because the device and its software come from one team, you have a single point of contact.

How is the cost of a custom IoT device project worked out?

We first agree what the device must do on site, the environmental conditions, the available network and which software the data should reach. Technical feasibility for hardware projects is free. You then receive a written proposal covering electronics, enclosure, firmware, management panel and installation, with scope, stages and price set out. There is no off-the-shelf package price.
