Hardware & IoT delivery support

Connect physical products and equipment to the digital world.

Reply Smart is not only software. We specify the sensors and gateways, coordinate suppliers, test and validate the hardware, roll it out, and connect the signals to dashboards, apps, ERP/CRM, alerts, and maintenance workflows.

The signal chain

From a physical product to a workflow action — every link designed, tested, and owned.

The difference between a pilot and a working system is that every link in this chain has an owner, a failure mode, and a test.

Delivery support

What hardware delivery looks like when it is run like a project.

  1. 01

    Specification

    Measurement goals, environment (dust, heat, vibration, ATEX), power, connectivity, data rate, and lifecycle.

    Result
    A specification suppliers can quote against.

  2. 02

    Supplier & vendor coordination

    Shortlist, samples, lead times, certifications, and commercial terms — one point of contact for you.

    Result
    Selected components with known lead times.

  3. 03

    Prototype & bench test

    First devices on the bench and on one machine: signal quality, battery life, mounting, data format.

    Result
    Proof that the chain works end to end.

  4. 04

    Testing & validation

    Field tests, edge cases, connectivity drops, calibration, and acceptance criteria per device type.

    Result
    Validated hardware and a test report.

  5. 05

    Rollout

    Installation planning, provisioning, labelling, commissioning per site or line, and monitoring from day one.

    Result
    Devices live, visible, and accounted for.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Documentation, spare-part list, monitoring and replacement procedures, and training for your team.

    Result
    Your team can run and extend it.

Scope

What we deliver, and what we need from you.

What we deliver

  • Hardware specification and supplier shortlist
  • Supplier and vendor coordination through delivery
  • Prototype, bench and field testing, validation reports
  • Gateway and edge configuration, provisioning, and security
  • Cloud/API ingestion, storage, and monitoring
  • Dashboards, operator apps, alerts, and ERP/CRM workflow integration
  • Rollout plan, commissioning, documentation, and handover

What you provide

  • Access to the product, machine, or site for measurements and tests
  • A process owner who can decide on requirements and acceptance
  • Electrical, mechanical, or safety contacts where mounting or power is involved
  • Network access or an agreed connectivity path (IT/OT)
  • ERP/CRM contacts for the workflow side of the integration
  • Test users on the floor for the operator app and alerts

Building blocks

The hardware we work with.

  • Sensors

    Used for
    Vibration, temperature, pressure, counters, level, current
    We handle
    Selection, mounting advice, calibration, data format

  • RFID

    Used for
    Identification of products, tools, batches, and locations
    We handle
    Tag and reader choice, read-range tests, integration

  • Bluetooth (BLE)

    Used for
    Low-power sensors and machine-to-app connectivity
    We handle
    Pairing, security, offline behaviour, app integration

  • Gateways

    Used for
    Collecting local signals and forwarding them securely
    We handle
    Configuration, buffering, protocol translation, updates

  • Edge devices

    Used for
    Local processing, filtering, and machine-side logic
    We handle
    Deployment, monitoring, remote management

  • Connectivity

    Used for
    Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LoRa, 4G/5G, OPC UA, MQTT
    We handle
    Path selection, IT/OT alignment, security review

Use cases

Where connected hardware pays off first.

  1. 01

    Condition monitoring & predictive maintenance

    Vibration and temperature trends turned into maintenance orders before failure.

  2. 02

    Traceability

    Batches, tools, and products identified and logged at every step.

  3. 03

    Asset & tool tracking

    Know where equipment is, who used it, and when it is due for service.

  4. 04

    Operator apps for machines

    Recipes, parameters, and handover on a device connected to the machine.

  5. 05

    Field service & inspections

    Installed products reporting status, service tasks routed automatically.
