Build and integrate intelligent devices
Pepperpath delivers end-to-end solutions bridging software, data, and devices.
We guide projects from concept and design through prototype, electronics and firmware, AI and cloud integration, and testing/refinement.
How we work
We move fast with COTS-first prototypes, then shift to custom electronics when it is time to optimize size, cost, and reliability.
Discover & requirements
Define outcomes, environments, constraints, and success metrics so the system is built for real-world use.
Architecture & trade-offs
Choose COTS-first or custom PCB paths, connectivity (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth), and UI options like touchscreen or web UI.
Prototype & integration
Build fast prototypes with mechanical design, electronics, and firmware bring-up to prove the system end-to-end.
AI + cloud workflows
Integrate AI pipelines, data storage, dashboards, and automated outputs like emails or device actions.
Validation, safety, and refinement
Apply safety interlocks, test plans, and calibration loops to harden performance and reliability.
Handover & scale-up
Deliver documentation, production files, and support for manufacturing and fleet rollouts.
Example outcomes
Two examples show how we connect hardware, firmware, and AI to real-world workflows.
Pepperpixel mail monitoring device
A battery-powered device that detects mail, captures an image, runs AI analysis, and sends a notification or email. It integrates with Pepperportal for automation.
- Battery-powered sensing with low-power triggers
- Image capture with AI classification
- Alerts via email and dashboard workflows
Precision training system
A motor-driven device with sensors, safety interlocks, and configurable UI. Data is logged to a web dashboard for calibration, analytics, and validation reporting.
- Motor and actuator control with safety lockouts
- Touchscreen and web UI options for operators
- Cloud logging with validation test plans
