Projects

Reference designs & concept builds

These cards illustrate the kinds of hardware and firmware problems we design for — pet technology, livestock, and farm automation. They are engineering reference designs and concept work, not completed client deliverables, shipped products, or field-tested results. Tell us about your project and we'll scope what it takes to build it.

Pet TechnologyReference Design

GPS Animal Tracker

Challenge: Needed high-accuracy location tracking in a collar-mountable form factor with multi-day battery life.
Solution: Combined a low-power GNSS module with duty-cycled cellular reporting and motion-triggered wake.
