From sensor to cloud, from idea to operation
Whether you want to network your products, systems, or an entire supermarket chain: We support you with tailored, comprehensive IoT solutions for your specific application. This includes the development, series production, and operation of customized solutions that fit perfectly into your existing system landscape.
You get everything from a single source: from consulting to operation, from sensors to the cloud.
Your integrated IoT solution
We make your products and machines smart. From hardware to the cloud to your SAP system. From the initial proof of concept through manufacturing to 24/7 operations.
We map the entire development process of a smart product.
At the same time, we deliver optimal IoT backends, while our frontend teams develop apps and web applications for your product. And of course, integration with your ERP system is essential to ensure optimal processes. This way, you get your smart product in record time.
From basics to custom-made products: the hardware
It all starts with the device. Whether you're aiming for mass production of several thousand units or starting with a prototype, we develop and manufacture your hardware components.
Rely on:
- the development from layout and housing design to firmware and gateways
- an international supplier network through which we always obtain the best conditions for your components
- Highest quality through our ISO 9001 certifications
If required, we also offer spare parts storage and flash stations for software installation and final testing in the factory.
We breathe life into your machine: the software
Whether you want to network existing machines or build a completely new infrastructure, we support you with the right software for your IoT project and ensure that your users can control and monitor machines or products, as well as easily collect and analyze data.
The frontend: You decide how your users operate the IoT application
- As a practical mobile app or a clear web application
- Long-term modern technologies and first-class user experience for intuitive operation
State-of-the-art cloud backends: extremely reliable and scalable
- Public cloud or own data center
- Years of experience with relevant cloud technologies such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS
- We also assume full responsibility for the operation of the platform
Customizable “Custom IoT Hub” for individual solutions
- Standardised software modules already cover 80 to 90 percent of typical functional requirements
- You save on development costs and get your IoT platform into productive use faster
- Our IoT hub can also be combined with resources from the public cloud or later moved there entirely
Optimal connectivity for your individual IoT scenario
We develop connectivity solutions with the optimal balance of range, data throughput and energy consumption.
- Both locally at the edge and for wide area network (WAN) connectivity
- Extensive experience with the relevant transmission protocols and technologies
- Regardless of individual mobile network operators
With our proprietary "Secure Bluetooth Tunnel," we offer a technology that efficiently combines local and WAN connectivity. This allows sensors, for example, to use the mobile phone chip of a user's smartphone as a bridge to transmit end-to-end encrypted data from the edge to the IoT platform.
Whether you're using existing contracts with mobile network operators or prefer a fully managed, single-source connectivity solution, q.beyond is your reliable partner for optimal networking of your IoT solution. Locally and globally.

From idea to rollout
You have an idea, but you're not yet sure how to implement your IoT project or what you need? We support you with workshops for taking your first steps into the IoT world, rapid proofs of concept, and MVPs.
Proof of concept in just one quarter
In just 3 months, our hardware and software specialists will develop a fully functional IoT demonstrator tailored to your exact requirements. This significantly simplifies your transition to a digitized business model. With this prototype, you can test the feasibility and technical parameters of your new project in a live environment – all for a fixed price.
Even after the go-live, we are there for you and, if desired, will take over the operation through IaaS solutions, offer 24/7 support, and provide software maintenance.
We digitize your products, processes, and business models quickly, cost-effectively, and risk-free. And we ensure a secure, scalable IoT infrastructure that keeps your edge devices under control and up-to-date at all times.
Our tech stack: Top-level expertise that grows every day
"With q.beyond we have found a pragmatic and professional partner to make our products future-proof through digital networking."
