Custom IoT Device Builds

We engineer connected devices to monitor, collect, and act on data in real time — from concept-stage prototypes to rugged field-deployable solutions. Our custom IoT builds are designed to operate reliably in challenging environments including oceans, remote bushland, and high-risk industrial zones. We integrate sensors for GPS tracking, motion, noise, light, and environmental conditions, powered by resilient battery systems and optimised for energy efficiency. Devices can operate autonomously for extended periods, with options for satellite uplink, survival-mode fallback, and cloud-connected data pipelines.

Custom Solar Panels

We design and deliver solar panel systems tailored for efficiency, scale, and installation context — whether fixed, mobile, or off-grid. Our solutions support self-sufficiency for a wide range of applications including caravans, camping setups, and worksite utes, as well as integration into high-end vehicles such as BMW M3s and luxury models like the BMW X6. In partnership with Rynogy, we provide premium-grade solar components that prioritise performance, safety, and durability in real-world conditions. Each system is engineered for optimal output, smart battery integration, and seamless deployment — giving you reliable power wherever you go.

Custom Battery Banks

We build battery banks designed for flexibility, durability, and real-world use — providing power where and when you need it. Our custom systems support a variety of mobile and off-grid scenarios, from caravans and camping rigs to high-performance vehicles and industrial equipment. Solutions are scalable in both capacity and physical form, supporting use cases like under-seat installs in sedans, tray setups for utes, and concealed storage in luxury vehicles. Each unit is engineered for safe operation, fast-charging compatibility, and seamless integration with solar or DC/DC systems. Built with premium components and ruggedised enclosures, our battery banks are trusted by explorers, trades, and professionals who can’t afford to run flat.

Custom Battery Management Systems

Smart monitoring and control systems for battery health, performance, and safety. We develop custom Battery Management Systems (BMS) that support both embedded use and full remote telemetry dashboards — giving you real-time insight into charge levels, temperature, load balance, and system alerts. Our BMS solutions are designed for deep integration with solar, DC/DC, and alternator charging environments, ensuring safe operation and maximum lifecycle value. From compact systems for vehicles and camping setups to advanced builds for commercial and off-grid applications, we tailor each system to your specific performance, resilience, and reporting needs. Remote access, mobile interfaces, and fail-safe protocols are available for critical use cases including marine, fleet, and field deployments.

Custom Servers Installation and Delivery

We supply, configure, and deliver custom server solutions tailored to your compute and infrastructure needs. From high-performance towers and rack units to rugged edge devices, we provide systems ready for immediate deployment in homes, offices, vehicles, or remote environments. Each server is built to spec — including CPU, memory, storage, cooling, and power considerations — and tested prior to delivery to ensure stability and performance. We support virtualisation, secure networking, NAS integration, and hybrid setups with cloud-ready provisioning. Whether you're deploying a development sandbox, AI inference node, field data hub, or a high-resilience file server, our end-to-end service ensures it arrives ready to run, with minimal setup required.

Research and Exploration Services

We provide targeted research and hands-on exploration services that bridge the gap between curiosity and actionable outcomes. Whether it's investigating new technologies, testing equipment in extreme environments, or validating concepts through rapid prototyping, we bring structure to discovery. Our work spans field deployments, environmental monitoring, electronics testing, data logging, and technical feasibility analysis — often in areas where documentation is sparse and the terrain is uncertain. We combine practical engineering with critical thinking to uncover insights and generate momentum for innovation. From coastal sensor deployments to underground communications trials, our exploration capabilities are designed to support early-stage ideas, emerging problems, and uncharted opportunities.

Security Incident and Event Management Services

We deliver Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) solutions that provide visibility, accountability, and peace of mind across your digital infrastructure. Our services include deployment, tuning, and operational management of SIEM platforms tailored to your risk posture and compliance requirements. Whether integrating with cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments, we ensure real-time detection, actionable alerting, and correlation of threats across systems, users, and networks. With support for Australian government standards and DISP-aligned practices, we help organisations detect anomalies early, respond rapidly, and meet audit obligations. From rule-based monitoring to advanced behaviour analytics, our SIEM services are ideal for security-conscious enterprises, government partners, and operational environments where visibility is critical.

Case Studies

BMW M3 Integration BMW X6 Setup Ford Ranger Ute System

Custom Vehicle Integrations – BMW M3, BMW X6 & Ford Ranger

This case study highlights our ability to deliver custom-fit technology and energy systems across a variety of vehicles — from luxury sedans to rugged utes. Each platform was approached with tailored objectives: discrete integration in performance and luxury builds, and high-capacity utility in a working vehicle.

The BMW M3 and BMW X6 received low-profile solar inputs paired with compact lithium battery banks and smart energy management — preserving aesthetics while adding usable off-grid power for devices and telemetry. The X6 further included a low-draw power tap for extended park-mode operations.



The Ford Ranger was built as a mobile deployment platform with full tray-mounted solar panels, a DC/DC charging loop, and ruggedised battery housing. It supports IoT sensors, portable server equipment, and field communications with onboard monitoring.

Lotus Off-Grid Caravan Demonstration

This custom off-grid build, housed in a Lotus caravan, was designed to demonstrate our capabilities in delivering fully autonomous, high-performance energy systems for extended travel and remote living. The system integrates Rynogy solar panels with 400Ah of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries in parallel, delivering substantial energy storage that is both lightweight and highly durable.

A 3600W pure sine wave inverter powers everything from air conditioning and induction cooking to entertainment systems and critical electronics, all managed through a smart energy dashboard that monitors usage, performance, and safety metrics in real time.



Built for resilience and adaptability, the system includes motion and noise sensors, GPS tracking, and an optional satellite uplink for live remote diagnostics and event alerts — providing peace of mind even in isolated regions. Thermal and voltage safeguards ensure stability across a variety of weather and usage conditions, making it ideal for long-term touring or as a live-in mobile workspace.
