RIoT IO

IoT hardware & software · engineered end to end

Creating tomorrow's technology, today.

Off the shelf when it fits. Built for you when it doesn't. We design the hardware, firmware and secure platforms behind connected products: ours, and yours.

01 · RIoT Industrial Gateway

Field signals in. Business value out.

Edge intelligence for generators, fuel systems and hard-to-reach industrial assets. It reads equipment over isolated RS485, interprets it at the edge and sends fuel, runtime, temperature and battery data over LTE. It already keeps generator fleets ready, from malls and hospitals to farms and mines.

20M+ messages a month from generator fleets

02 · RIoT Puck

Use the network that's already there.

A compact edge relay that sends field data over the site's own Wi-Fi. No modem, no SIM, and it buffers through outages. One device, used two ways:

With TeltonikaAdds a Wi-Fi path to FMC125, FMC225 and FMC650 trackers.
On its ownReads RS485 equipment, and the Bluetooth version collects readings from sensors like our Environmental Tag.

03 · RIoT HDV Two Way Comm

The emergency call always happens.

Built for heavy-duty fleets from the worst moment outwards: a detected crash or an SOS press places the call whether or not the data network responds, position holds through the call, and silent duress alerts the control room with nothing visible in the cab. One device instead of three.

04 · RIoT Environmental Tag

Put it anywhere. No cables. No mains.

A battery-powered Bluetooth LE tag that measures temperature, humidity, pressure and air quality wherever you put it: a server rack, a cold room, a farm. It keeps sensing and logging through a blackout, and each one ships with its own SANAS-accredited calibration certificate.

05 · Asset tracking

Indoors and out. On one map.

Tracking is something we've built across hardware and software: GPS on vehicles and in the yard, Bluetooth beacons on trailers, tools and cargo, and live maps and mobile apps on top. One platform, one integration.

06 · Where our devices work

Same devices. Many worlds.

We don't build a gadget for every industry. The same few products, combined differently, cover very different jobs. Here's where each one fits.

  1. A cold-chain operator logs every degree from depot freezer to last-mile delivery, alerted and audit-ready.

  2. A private hospital group watches theatres, wards and pharmacies, where failure is never an option.

  3. A continuous, per-rack picture of temperature, humidity and air quality, even through a blackout.

    Environmental TagPuck

  4. Live sensor information from farms and agricultural operations.

  5. Gateways for mining assets and RS485 equipment, and two-way comms for haulage fleets.

08 · Build with us

Your product, engineered end to end.

Every product on this page started as someone's problem. When off-the-shelf stops fitting, we build what fits. We start from the worst moment, not the demo.

  1. A free scoping call to pin down the outcome, the constraints and the worst day it has to survive: the dead spot, the power cut, the driver who can't press a button.

  2. Hardware, firmware, secure platform and integrations designed as one system, so a decision in one layer strengthens the others.

  3. Working hardware early, proven on the bench before it meets the field.

  4. Field-tested in real conditions, with failure behaviour you can describe and nothing lost when the network drops.

  5. Production, zero-touch commissioning and over-the-air updates: a fleet that looks after itself, with us behind it.

09 · RIoT FOTA Web

Your devices. Your data. Your rules.

Secure software turns hardware into an operable fleet. FOTA Web handles device inventory, staged firmware releases, tenant separation and a full audit trail. Every product integrates with your systems instead of locking you into ours.

Questions we get asked

The short answers

What does RIoT IO do?

RIoT IO is a Johannesburg engineering company that designs and builds connected (IoT) hardware and the software that runs it: electronics, firmware, secure cloud platforms and integrations. We sell our own products and build custom ones for clients.

Can you build a custom IoT product for us?

Yes. Every engagement starts with a free scoping call. From there we define, architect, prototype, validate and scale the product with you, and IP ownership is agreed per project. It can be yours.

What products do you make?

The RIoT Industrial Gateway for generators and industrial equipment, the RIoT Puck Wi-Fi relay, the RIoT HDV Two Way Comm for heavy-duty fleets, the RIoT Environmental Tag wireless sensor and indoor and outdoor asset tracking, plus RIoT FOTA Web, our secure platform for running device fleets.

Which industries do you work in?

Cold chain, healthcare, data centres, farming and agriculture, mining, generator fleets and heavy-duty transport. Our devices are deployed across Africa, and we're expanding into Europe.

Is our data locked into your platform?

No. Devices stream over MQTT, HTTP, HTTPS or UDP to your own servers or any third party, so every product integrates with your systems instead of locking you into ours. We receive your messages, but we never own them.
