From sensor
to dashboard.
ATMAN develops complete IoT systems, from embedded firmware and industrial protocols to cloud backends and real-time dashboards. Built for mechanical engineering, automotive, and production companies in Bavaria and beyond.
IoT capabilities at a glance
An IoT project is a system of hardware, software, communication, and data processing. We cover the complete stack and define the interfaces between each layer.
Embedded systems & firmware
Microcontroller programming for ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino. We integrate sensors, process signals, and develop energy-efficient firmware for battery-powered devices.
Industrial protocols
OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN Bus, RS485, and Profinet. We connect modern equipment and existing machines that have no native network interface.
Cloud backend & data pipeline
AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, or a self-hosted MQTT broker. Time-series databases, data pipelines, and scalable message routing support connected device fleets.
Dashboards & monitoring
Real-time visualisation with Grafana or custom web interfaces. Configurable thresholds, notifications, historical analysis, and data exports turn signals into operational information.
Industry 4.0 integration
Connections to existing MES and ERP systems including SAP, proALPHA, and Microsoft Dynamics. We work with MQTT Sparkplug B, harmonise machine data, and automate production reporting.
Predictive maintenance
Machine-learning anomaly detection for sensor and vibration data. Early warnings support maintenance decisions, wear detection, and intervention before equipment stops.

IoT in practice
Typical systems we build for companies in Bavaria and across the DACH region.
Machine monitoring & retrofit
Gateways connect existing machines without native networking. Runtime, operating states, and error codes are captured, centralised, and visualised without changing the control logic.
Automotive telematics & diagnostics
OBD-II and CAN Bus data capture for fleets, test benches, and development vehicles. Telematics units, real-time streaming, and diagnostic software support Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers.
Energy monitoring
Consumption measurement at machine, line, and plant level. Live analysis identifies load peaks, carbon output, and saving opportunities relevant to ISO 50001 and energy-efficiency programmes.
More use cases
Quality assurance & sensing
Inline measurement with temperature, pressure, force, and vibration sensors. Threshold monitoring, reject detection, and batch records support production quality.
Smart buildings & building systems
Connected control for heating, ventilation, lighting, and access. BACnet and KNX integration enable central management and energy optimisation for commercial and industrial sites.
Fleet management & asset tracking
GPS and LPWAN tracking with LoRaWAN or NB-IoT for vehicles, machines, and equipment. Geofencing, maintenance intervals, and location reports become visible in one system.
From idea to a working installation
IoT projects often fail because requirements, architecture, or integration remain unclear. Our process resolves those decisions before they become expensive.
-
Requirements analysis
We examine your machines, processes, and goals. We establish which data matters, which decisions it must support, and which systems need to connect.
-
System architecture
We define hardware, protocol strategy, cloud architecture, and the security concept before implementation begins.
-
Proof of concept
For a new system combination, we first connect one sensor or machine to real data. This exposes technical risk while changes are still inexpensive.
-
Development & integration
We develop in short cycles and demonstrate progress regularly. Integration is tested continuously instead of postponed until handover.
-
Rollout & support
Commissioning can happen on site or remotely. Documentation, training, and optional maintenance support the system in operation.
Our IoT stack
We use established industrial standards, open architectures, and replaceable components to limit unnecessary lock-in.

What clients ask us
How much does an IoT project cost?
Projects are priced by scope. A focused monitoring system typically starts at €8,000 to €15,000. Complex integrations cost more. After a free initial analysis, we provide a transparent proposal.
Can you retrofit existing machines?
Yes. We analyse PLCs, serial protocols, analogue signals, and other existing interfaces, then build a gateway solution without changing the machine control logic.
Which protocols and hardware do you support?
Our work includes OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, RS485, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, industrial gateways, AWS IoT Core, and Azure IoT Hub. The wider stack is listed above.
Is support available after handover?
Yes. Optional maintenance agreements cover monitoring, updates, security patches, and extensions. The operating model is agreed before delivery.
“ATMAN's team took our requirements and legacy infrastructure and rebuilt it into a modern platform in under six months. The quality of engineering is exceptional.”
