Hexatech was a small studio of engineers and designers. We took products from concept to full-scale production: boards, firmware, Linux platforms and the monitoring systems above them.
A GPS-based NTP server that supplied Stratum 1 time on the local network, so systems never had to reach the internet for synchronization. Its high-sensitivity receiver could lock satellites from a window location, with no outdoor antenna.
Used in education, industrial facilities, military installations, public safety command rooms, government, broadcasting and hospitals.
A compact industrial controller on a 32-bit, 216 MHz ARM CPU, built for remote utility work such as solar power plants and electricity distribution substations.
One unit combined a GPRS/GSM modem, digital inputs and outputs, and a data logger, with Ethernet and serial ports for SCADA systems and field devices.
System-on-modules and supporting boards that combined the software and hardware programmability of ARM processors and FPGAs.

Analyzed data from large device fleets across investment, operations and maintenance, with period reports, configurable alarms and notifications.
A platform for building custom IoT applications, with structure-independent data, AMQP and MQTT transport, a REST API, a JavaScript SDK and a drag-and-drop interface builder.
Central stock, tracking and quality management for a company's devices, with analysis linking device quality to production.
The studio's engineering range, by board complexity. Each stack is drawn to the top of its copper layer range.
Hexatech combined hardware and software to improve manufacturing, logistics and operational efficiency, with security and safety treated as design requirements. Companies worked with us in two ways.
For organizations without internal capacity. From minimal initial requirements, we analyzed the system and delivered the hardware and software, from concept validation to full-scale production.
For teams that needed to move faster. Our engineers temporarily joined the client's team and scaled up or down as the work required.
