Internet of Things and Sensor IT
Sensor IT is a leading IoT manufacturer at the forefront of the Internet of Things (IoT) technological revolution. We specialise in designing, developing, and manufacturing (in-house in the UK) innovative Smart devices, essentially custom IoT solutions, that harness the power of connected and data capturing endpoints to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, improve our lives and make this a better, more sustainable, world. Our mission is to create a smarter, more connected and inclusive world through these IoT Solutions where technology serves as a catalyst for positive change. These devices are commonly known as IoT Sensors, although technically they are better referred to as IoT Endpoints.
At Sensor IT, we firmly believe that technology has the potential to transform industries, our behaviour, how we go about doing things, and, in the process, make this world a better place to live in. By leveraging the capabilities of IoT, we empower businesses and individuals, through a strict consultative approach to designing our systems, to make data-driven decisions, optimise resource utilization, and drive sustainable growth.
Sensor IT designs and develops all their products from the ground up, from the electronic schematics through to the final product enclosure, which allows us to retain full ownership of the Intellectual Property we create; As an UK-based company, all components are sourced locally, when possible; most importantly, our products are geared towards systemic change to improve sustainability for future generations.

What is IoT
The Internet of Things, or IoT as it is commonly referred to, refers to an ecosystem of discrete computing devices, connected to sensors and other devices via the Internet. Miniaturization of devices has given IoT a considerable push, with a significant effort put into creating smaller, low power (or battery-powered) nodes that are very easy to deploy, which can control and/or gather data in almost any process or situation. In essence, it is the decentralisation and improved agility of computing power that goes beyond the confines of the home and office.
Internet of Things presents several advantages over more traditional technological approaches. Typically, IoT devices feature some, and in most cases all, of the following characteristics:
Wireless Connectivity
which allows for easy and low-cost deployments and maintenance
Low Consumption
which helps monitoring and control in locations where access to mains power is not possible
Small Form Factor
that allows for the devices to be deployed inconspicuously in difficult locations
Our Services
We specialise in all aspects across the IoT value chain in IoT devices manufacturing and system design, which includes the production of endpoints, sensor detection and data-generation devices targeting connected IoT systems. The use of low-cost, low-power industrial Single Board Computers (SBC) and Systems on a Chip (SoC) components offer several benefits that we leverage during the design and development of prototypes and final products. This way, we can prototype rapidly and lower production costs without impacting the quality of the final products. Our sensors are supplied by a range of nationwide providers, enabling us to ensure optimum quality and utility.
Our IoT Verticals
Our comprehensive suite of IoT solutions spans across various sectors including smart homes, smart cities, smart healthcare, smart mobility, Agritech, and industry 4.0. Whether it’s deploying sensors to monitor environmental conditions, implementing predictive maintenance systems, or developing custom IoT applications, we tailor our offerings to meet the unique needs and specific requirements our clients have.
What sets us apart is our commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer satisfaction. We combine cutting-edge technology with industry expertise to deliver robust, scalable solutions that drive tangible results. By fostering collaboration and staying ahead of emerging trends, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the IoT landscape.
If you believe any of these technological spaces could be of interest to your company, please contact us on info@sensorit.co.uk. We have many prototypes that may apply to your business. Alternatively, we can work with you to design one.
IoT Devices Manufacturing
To design a sensor-based system, which typically include IoT devices manufacturing, we work collaboratively with our clients to determine the type of data to be collected, how to encode this data, and how to transmit it to the end-system that deals with all the information. To optimise the system’s quality, there are several aspects of the design that need to be technically managed before the finer details are addressed. We rely on a sequential three-layered design approach to the provision of IoT services as demonstrated below.
Endpoint
In IoT systems, endpoints represent the initial stage of data collection. Examples of endpoints include measuring the temperature or brightness in a room or assessing levels of water purity across a large body of water
Gateway
Gateways act as a carrier of information received from endpoint nodes. This step is important as it ensures that data is properly processed and is sent securely to a cloud server for the next stage
User Interface
The user interface takes the information gathered by the endpoints and received by the gateway and processes it to make it easier to use. This may involve detecting trends and notifying the user if the data received is within pre-set boundaries
Our Impact
The Internet of Things will have an impact on society technologically, economically, and socially in the years to come – we are seeing that right now, in front of our eyes. We intend to drive that impact towards greater sustainability and positivity, in essence, to create a better, fairer world. We will never get involved in projects that we consider damaging or speculative to our society, irrespective of the potential economic return to our company. This is our commitment to all of you, from all of us at Sensor IT.
See for yourself how we are already making a positive impact with our products and systems despite our limited resources.
