Engineering deep-dives, architecture decisions and the reasoning behind them.

Every occupancy technology fails in a characteristic way, and the failures are not random. How to combine sensors so the mistakes cancel instead of compounding.

The standard assigns different duties to asset owners, integrators and manufacturers. Which parts actually bind a product vendor, and what a Security Level claim commits you to.

The data mostly exists already — scattered across an ERP, supplier questionnaires and spreadsheets. What it takes to assemble it into one record that stays correct as the product changes.

Buried electronics face water, fertiliser, frost and a tractor. The failure modes that end field deployments, and the design decisions that decide whether a probe lasts one season or five.

Four technologies that all claim to locate things indoors, separated by what they physically measure. How to pick using the accuracy you actually need rather than the best number available.

The algorithms are standardised and the deadlines are real. What changes for a device with kilobytes of RAM and a ten-year deployment, and where to start when you cannot patch the field.

Repairability is decided in the first mechanical review and cannot be retrofitted. What the EU rules require, and the connected-device problem the rules barely mention.

Three ways to shrink a model until it runs in kilobytes of RAM, what each one costs in accuracy, and how to tell which constraint you are actually up against.

Three regulators now require you to publish a support period. Working out what number you can actually honour, and what it commits your engineering team to for years.

Three radios that look interchangeable on a datasheet and are not. How range, power budget, message size and who owns the network decide which one a deployment can actually live with.

Most IoT deployments ship far more data than anyone reads. A practical framework for deciding at the device what is worth transmitting, what is worth keeping locally, and what to discard immediately.

Botnets are not built from clever exploits. They are built from devices that shipped with a password everyone knows and a firmware update nobody applied. What onboarding has to do instead.
