Services

The full hardware stack, under one roof.

From initial concept to a prototype ready for stakeholder review, we cover every discipline in-house, so there is no coordination between separate vendors.

Embedded Systems & Firmware

Microcontroller programming, RTOS and bare-metal firmware on STM32, ESP32, RP2040, Arduino and more.

PCB Design & Electronics

Schematic design, PCB layout and component selection through to production-ready files, single to multi-layer.

Mechanical Design (CAD)

Enclosures, brackets and structural parts, from concept to production-ready files with the right tolerances and materials.

3D Printing

Rapid physical prototypes. FDM for fast iteration and resin for fine detail, including finishing and post-processing.

IoT Integration

Device-to-cloud connectivity, MQTT, REST APIs and monitoring dashboards over WiFi, BLE, LoRa and GSM/LTE.

Edge AI

AI models that run on the device itself, with low latency, no cloud dependency and data that stays on-premises.

AI Integration

Conversational AI, voice assistants and LLMs built into physical products.

Assembly & Testing

Soldering, assembly and thorough testing, including burn-in tests and documented test results.

Why TangibleIdea

A dedicated hardware engineering team, not a digital agency with a hardware side.

Connecting a sensor to the cloud is straightforward. Designing a system that stays reliable in the field, from component level to full system integration, is where engineering depth matters.

Engineering-led

Every project is approached as an engineering problem, not module assembly. We account for trade-offs, physical constraints and manufacturability from day one.

Hardware and software, one team

Firmware, PCB, enclosure and application integration are handled by the same team. One point of accountability, faster iteration, fewer integration gaps.

Transparent scope and cost

Scope, timeline and cost are agreed up front, and you receive regular progress updates without having to chase them.

Aligned with your objectives

We engage with the business goal behind the specification. If there is a better technical approach, we will recommend it.

Embedded & Firmware

STM32, ESP32, RP2040, AVR, FreeRTOS, bare-metal, USB, I²C, SPI, UART, CAN

Electronics & PCB

KiCad, Altium, power electronics, sensor integration, signal conditioning, EMC-aware layout

Connectivity & Software

MQTT, REST API, BLE, LoRa, GSM/LTE, web dashboards, mobile companion apps

How We Work

A clear process from first conversation to handover.

01
Discuss

Discovery

A complimentary consultation to understand your requirements, scope and objectives. No technical specification is needed. A clear description of the problem is enough.

02
Plan

Proposal & quotation

We prepare a technical plan, timeline and transparent cost estimate. No hidden costs.

03
Build

Development

Hardware and software are developed in parallel, with regular progress updates by email or messaging.

04
Test

Verification

Every prototype is tested before handover for functionality, robustness and performance against the agreed specification.

05
Deliver

Handover & documentation

The prototype is delivered with technical documentation, source code and a user guide.
