Embedded & IoT · Chennai
Embedded systems and IoT products, from first board to field trial.
Inceptarc's Product Development Centre in Chennai designs the PCB, writes the firmware and builds the enclosure for connected devices. The people who debug your firmware are the people who laid out the board, so a fault gets traced to the hardware or the code in one sitting.
A connected device is a board, firmware and a case. We do all three.
Firmware development
ESP32, STM32 and Arduino-class microcontrollers. Sensor drivers, power management, update paths and the device-side half of your cloud protocol.
Wireless and connectivity
WiFi, BLE and LoRa links, with HTTPS and MQTT back to your server. Range and antenna placement are checked on real hardware.
PCB design and bring-up
Schematic, layout and DFM review, then fabricated and assembled in Chennai. The first board is brought up on our bench with the firmware engineer present.
Enclosures and prototypes
Enclosures and fixtures are designed in CAD and printed in-house on FDM and SLA, so the case fits the board it houses.
IoT and IoMT prototypes
Sensor nodes, industrial IoT monitors and medical-device prototypes, built in batches of 5 to 500 units for pilots and field trials.
Chip bring-up and test boards
Carrier boards, evaluation boards and test fixtures for VLSI and semiconductor teams who need new silicon running on validated hardware.
Built for teams that need a working device in their hands.
- Hardware startups with an idea or a breadboard and no in-house hardware team.
- OEM engineering teams that want a build partner for a new product introduction.
- Industrial and process companies adding sensors and remote monitoring to existing equipment.
- Medical and healthcare device teams building a prototype for validation.
- VLSI and semiconductor teams that need carrier boards and test fixtures.
- Research groups and labs that need small batches of custom instruments.
From first message to a working unit. Same team throughout.
01
Share the requirement
A sketch, a datasheet, a spec or a paragraph. A formal brief is optional.
02
Scope in 1–2 days
Architecture, parts, line-item cost and lead time, agreed before any work starts.
03
Build and test
Board, firmware and enclosure are developed together, with status updates along the way.
04
Handover
Tested units, source files and documentation delivered. If it does not boot on your bench, we are not done.
Questions we get asked first.
Which microcontrollers and platforms do you work with?
ESP32, STM32 and Arduino-class boards are our daily platforms, with sensors, radios and protocols over WiFi, BLE and LoRa. If your product needs a different part, tell us the requirement and we will say whether we can take it on.
Do you design the hardware as well as the firmware?
Yes. Schematic, PCB layout, firmware and enclosure are handled by one team at our Chennai centre, which removes the hand-offs where hardware and firmware problems usually get lost.
How long does an IoT prototype take?
A working prototype typically takes about 60 days, and a bare board can be turned in 5 to 10 days. We confirm the timeline in the scope we send within 1–2 days of your brief.
What does an embedded or IoT project cost?
Prototype programmes typically run ₹50,000 to ₹3,00,000, covering PCB design, fabrication, enclosure and firmware. Larger multi-unit or multi-phase engagements start at ₹3,00,000. You receive a line-item scope before committing.
Can you build small production batches after the prototype?
Yes. We build batches from 5 to 500 units, including pilot runs and field-trial units that larger manufacturers decline.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. NDA support is available on request for any project. Mention it when you contact us.
Talk to the engineer who would do the work.
Send a sketch, a schematic or a paragraph. You get a scoped reply within 1–2 days, and an NDA is available on request. The Centre is at No 79/29, North Mada Street, Padi, Chennai — 600 050, Tamil Nadu, India.
