## What we ship

IoT-WorkS is one of very few UK providers that designs the hardware, writes the firmware, runs the ML on the resulting telemetry, and provides the booking automation that closes the loop with engineers and customers. Most competitors do one of those four layers — we ship all four.

## FAQ — questions buyers actually ask

**What does IoT-WorkS actually do?** We design IoT hardware (sensors, GPS trackers, gateways), write the embedded firmware, train and run ML models on the telemetry that comes back, and provide an AI booking engine that schedules engineers and confirms appointments automatically. Customers can buy any one layer, or the full stack.

**Are you a UK company?** Yes. Headquartered in Edinburgh since 2005, with a second engineering office in Wrocław, Poland. Operations across the UK and EU.

**Do you make your own hardware?** Yes — VS-, VT- and VG- product families are designed in-house. We also do bespoke PCB and enclosure design for customers who need something off-catalogue.

**Which protocols do you support?** LoRa / LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, 4G/5G cellular, Iridium satellite, BLE, WiFi, MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus, REST, CAN bus, OBD-II. Edge gateways speak OPC-UA + Modbus + MQTT simultaneously.

**How does the AI Telemetry engine work?** Four layers: anomaly detection on streams, predictive maintenance with confidence intervals, natural-language queries against historical data, and edge inference using ONNX Runtime / TensorFlow Lite on VG-E300 gateways. Models are explainable — every alert carries a confidence score and the features that drove it.

**How does the AI Booking Engine work?** It extracts intent from unstructured enquiries (email, WhatsApp, web forms, voice), applies constraint-solving against engineer skills, parts availability, SLAs and travel time, auto-confirms the booking, and only escalates low-confidence cases to humans. 73% of requests are auto-handled inside 14 seconds.

**Who is the team?** A UK-led engineering team of ~50 combined years' experience, with offices in Edinburgh (HQ) and Wrocław. Engineers attend customer calls directly — there is no sales-then-handoff pattern.

**How do I get started?** Book a 30-minute consult at [https://iot-works.com/contact/](https://iot-works.com/contact/). You'll talk to an engineer, not a chatbot. We typically reply within one working day.
