Connected technology for the energy sector

We worked with an energy-sector customer on a demand-response platform spanning hardware and distributed software. Our work connected the technical decisions at device level with the needs of the wider application.

Engineering across hardware and software

We guided product architecture, contributed to development and worked with engineering teams and vendors to coordinate delivery. This required attention to the interfaces between physical devices, telemetry and user-facing software.

The challenge

Our customer needed to bring physical devices, telemetry, distributed software and user-facing applications together as one connected product.

The approach

We combined hands-on solution architecture and development with engineering leadership. We coordinated engineering teams and technology vendors, balancing immediate delivery needs with longer-term product development.

The contribution

We contributed technical direction and development across the connected hardware and distributed software platform, bringing device and application work into a shared delivery approach.
