R&D and product teams
Teams that need a clear technical path from first prototype to product-level architecture, with risks exposed early.
Custom system development
Custom hardware, local AI and rugged embedded systems. We design the electronics, software, mechanics and physical package together.
Home
Alterra treats electronics, software, mechanics and field conditions as one design problem. The goal is not a quick bench-top showcase; it is a system architecture that can survive the real environment.
Who it is for
We are most useful when an off-the-shelf product is not enough and hardware, software and the physical package need to be designed together.
Teams that need a clear technical path from first prototype to product-level architecture, with risks exposed early.
Organizations that need measurement, control, computer vision or automation to work in the real environment, not only on a desk.
Ideas that require sensors, cameras, motors, mechanical structures and software to operate as one system.
Problems we fit
We step in when a system has to read signals or images, make local decisions, control physical hardware, collect field data or move from a bench prototype into a durable physical package.
First call output
We clarify what must be measured, controlled, where it must operate and what success means.
We outline the first approach for sensors, compute, power, mechanical package, software flow and field constraints.
We turn the discussion into a concrete development step: prototype, analysis, discovery, part selection or a formal quote.
What we build
Control and data acquisition units based on ESP32, Arduino, STM32, RP2040, Raspberry Pi and similar platforms.
Local vision pipelines, object detection and decision loops that do not depend on the cloud.
Enclosures, mounting parts, carrier structures and quick validation through 3D printing.
Physical packages planned around dust, water, temperature, vibration and maintenance conditions.
Thermal distribution, mechanical load and critical risks reviewed before hardware is produced.
How we work
We clarify the operating environment, constraints, measurement/control needs and success criteria.
Electronics, software, mechanics and the physical package are planned within the same architecture.
When needed, we use quick prototypes, test setups or thermal/mechanical analysis to expose risk early.
Connections, mounting, heat, humidity, dust and service conditions are handled before deployment planning.
Portfolio
The portfolio includes K-PARD as a vision and autonomous tracking engineering proof, plus technical system examples where client or institution details are intentionally withheld.

You do not need every technical detail ready. Share the need and the environment; we can shape the development path from there.
