The challenge

Connected products fail in the gaps between teams

Connected products fail in the gaps: between the hardware team and the software team, and between the device and the people who need to see what it knows.

01

Hardware and software built apart

Firmware, cloud and app come from different vendors, so nothing is tested end to end until change is costly.

02

No single live picture

Sensors, devices and systems each report to their own screen. Without one model of the site, teams react instead of anticipate.

03

Privacy and safety added last

Voice, children's data and building data need rules from day one: what stays on the device and who can see it.

What we build

Four kinds of connected system

Connected work usually takes one of four shapes. We often build two or three together, on the same platform.

Connected products

A physical product with its own firmware, companion app and cloud, designed as one.

For exampleWanees, a voice companion the whole family talks to at home.

Sensor networks for sites

Sensors placed across a building or estate, reporting to one platform that spots trouble early.

For examplePumps and chillers flagged for service before they fail.

Live digital twins

A map or 3D model of your site that shows what every device is reporting, right now.

For exampleA facilities team sees every floor, alarm and open ticket on one model.

VR walkthroughs

A space you can walk in a headset or a browser, built from plans or scans.

For exampleStaff rehearse an evacuation route before the building opens.

Use cases

Where connected systems pay off first

The first wins come where people walk the site to check things a sensor could report. These are the requests we hear most.

Buildings

Predictive maintenance

Equipment readings watched over time, so the next service is planned, not rushed.

Buildings

Energy and comfort

Temperature, air and power use per floor, with waste spotted and rooms kept comfortable.

Venues

One view of many venues

Each venue's systems feeding one picture, as we did for 14 venues on one building system.

Venues

Crowd and occupancy

How full each area is, in real time, so staff move before queues form.

Real estate

Sell before it is built

Buyers walk a home or office in VR from plans, long before handover of the keys.

Consumer products

A product that improves at home

New features and fixes reach devices already in homes through secure updates.

Consumer products

Private voice at home

Speech handled on the device wherever it can, so family conversations stay in the home.

Sports and live events

Live tracking on the course

Positions and readings from the field shown live to the control room.

How we do it

From firmware to twin, end to end

One team from the firmware on the chip to the live view in the control room, so every layer is designed with the others in mind.

01

Discovery and architecture

Use case, constraints and what must work offline. We choose hardware, connectivity, AI approach and data model.

You getThe right hardware and data model

02

Device build

Firmware on edge devices, on-device speech or sensing, power design and secure over-the-air updates.

You getDevices that update themselves

03

Platform, twin and VR

Device onboarding and telemetry, then a map-first or 3D twin fed by live data, with VR walkthroughs of the space.

You getOne live picture of everything

04

Pilot and scale

A pilot with real users on real sites, measured results, then rollout and operations support.

What you get

Every layer, end to end

From the device to the dashboard, each piece is built to work with the others and supported after launch.

Device firmware with offline modes and over-the-air updatesSoftware on the device that keeps working without the internet and updates itself.
A voice AI framework with on-device speechSpeech that runs on the device for fast, private replies.
An IoT platform for device fleets and telemetryEvery device registered, monitored and managed from one place.
A map-first or 3D digital twin with live dataA live picture of your site, on a map or in 3D, fed by the devices in it.
VR walkthroughs of venues and buildingsWalk a venue or building before it opens, to plan, train and sell.
Command views, alert logic and operating proceduresWhat the control room sees, when it is alerted, and what each team does next.
The stack

From the device to the control room

Each layer is chosen for what must work offline, what must stay private and how many devices it has to carry.

Why Sandruci

From a blank chip to a command centre

We have built firmware, voice AI and IoT platforms of our own, and connected stadiums and buildings to one live view.

Hardware and software as one

The same team writes the firmware and the platform, so updates, telemetry and privacy work the same way everywhere.

Proven at venue scale

Eight stadiums on one command platform and fourteen venues on one building system.

Private by design

Data stays on the device or your own servers wherever it can, with safety checks before anything leaves.

Questions

Often asked

Do you build the hardware too?

We design the device and its firmware, and work with manufacturers for production.

Does it work without the internet?

Yes, where it needs to. We decide early what must keep working offline.

What can a VR walkthrough be used for?

Planning, training and sales: people can walk a venue or building before they visit it, or before it is built.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the scope, and we agree it before any work starts. The first conversation is free.
