Turn your product into a
smart product.
Evolve into a smart product you can offer to customers — with remote monitoring and a web app already built in.
Firmware, cloud infrastructure, OTA, and security are all delivered by obniz. A full-stack solution for product makers, so your team can focus entirely on the application layer.
Challenges
Sound familiar?
Move from one-time sales to recurring revenue
Evolve beyond selling units to a business that earns continuous revenue from post-sale services and maintenance contracts.
See exactly what is happening in the field
Detect failures and issues remotely to lower support costs, and use real usage data to refine product quality and customer satisfaction.
IoT and AI looked good on paper, but the math did not work
Building firmware, cellular connectivity, and cloud infrastructure in-house pushed unit costs and timelines past what the business could absorb.
Why obniz
The shortest path
to a smart product.
Firmware, connectivity, cloud, and operations — obniz delivers all four layers required for IoT.
Firmwareless
The only module with no firmware to write
Drop in a SoM or module with obnizOS pre-flashed. Place an obniz chip on your board and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, and cloud authentication are all included out of the box.
Cloud Built-in
Cloud, connectivity, and OS in one package
The moment you embed it, you get cloud-side remote control, OTA updates, and fault monitoring. Your team can focus purely on the application layer.
Maintenance-free
IoT without the operational burden
After release, OS and security updates are all handled by obniz. Push updates to every unit at once — no recalls, no per-device intervention.
How to Embed
Two integration paths, depending on your product.
Attach an Intelligent Edge unit
Leave the product itself unchanged and add an obniz Intelligent Edge or BLE Gateway externally, connecting via RS485 or UART. Works on units already in the field.
- Retrofit even devices already shipped
- Single-cable connection
- Minimal implementation cost and risk
Embed a module on the board
Mount an obniz communication module directly into the existing product board — the full-integration approach. Choose a compact SoM or module with LTE, Wi-Fi, or BLE built in.
- Mount the SoM (System on Module) on your PCB
- Assembled at the same time as factory production
- No changes to the product enclosure or industrial design
