Hacod
End-to-end IoT engineering that bridges the physical and digital worlds, designing hardware, writing firmware, and building cloud infrastructure that turns complex field data into actionable intelligence.
About
Hacod is a specialized IoT engineering company built around the belief that fragmented development —different vendors for hardware, firmware, and cloud— creates unnecessary risk and delay. Their “Silicon to Cloud” model covers the entire stack under one roof, from custom PCB design and low-power firmware through to cloud infrastructure and user-facing applications.
The team’s roots in open-source embedded development, including direct contributions to the Zephyr RTOS project, give Hacod a technical foundation that goes well beyond typical IoT integrators. Founded by engineers with direct involvement in the creation of Zephyr RTOS, Hacod brings rare depth to embedded development, combining hands-on chipset expertise with a security-first approach powered by modern Rust-based firmware.
Key Products
Hacod’s capabilities span the full IoT development lifecycle, with two core offerings serving organizations that need both engineering services and a device management platform.
End-to-End IoT Development
Hacod’s “Silicon to Cloud” service eliminates vendor fragmentation by delivering hardware design, secure firmware, and scalable cloud infrastructure as a single integrated engagement. Custom PCB design and DFM-ready prototyping are paired with Rust-based firmware and deep expertise in Nordic and ESP32 chipsets, along with connectivity across LTE-M, NB-IoT, BLE, and LoRaWAN. The offering is specifically designed to solve the “valley of death” between prototype and mass production — reducing security risk and accelerating time-to-market for mission-critical IoT products.
Hacod DM
Hacod DM is a device management platform built for large-scale fleet operations in utilities, energy, water, and gas sectors. It supports remote firmware updates with staged rollouts, test groups, and automatic rollbacks, alongside real-time device health monitoring and data collection via optimized protocols. Designed for on-premise deployment, Hacod DM keeps data on the client’s own infrastructure and integrates with existing systems via REST API, NATS, or Kafka. The platform is built with Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance in mind and is architected for high availability at millions-of-devices scale.
Industries served
Hacod serves organizations deploying connected devices in demanding operational environments, where data reliability, device longevity, and security are non-negotiable. Their customer base spans energy and utilities, industrial IoT, smart agriculture, logistics, and climate monitoring — sectors where field hardware must perform consistently over long cycles and at significant scale.
Why Hacod
Hacod’s differentiation starts at the engineering level. The founding team’s direct involvement in building Zephyr RTOS, one of the leading open-source real-time operating systems for embedded devices, means their firmware expertise is not acquired secondhand. Security is treated as a foundational engineering concern, not a compliance checkbox, with Rust used throughout firmware development to eliminate entire categories of critical vulnerabilities. A consistent focus on Design for Manufacturing ensures that what gets prototyped can actually be produced at scale, making Hacod a reliable partner from first concept through to series production.
