IoT architecture & strategy
Pick the right stack for the next five years, not the next demo. Vendor-neutral, auditable, yours to keep.
strategyreviewroadmap
We bridge the gap between sensor and decision.
Zero46 is a vendor-neutral IoT consulting studio in Malmö. We help European utilities, industry, healthcare, and public sector teams build or rebuild connected systems they control. From first sensor to handover.

What we do.
And what we don't.
We don't sell software or resell licences. We build and run connected systems with your team, then hand them back. Most projects touch two or three of these.

One platform. Every team.
We're building a sensor platform for a Swedish municipality. One system, many teams: indoor climate, alarms, air quality, energy. Same data, different questions.

// 03 — your data, your callYour data.
Your data.
Your call.
Where it lives, who can reach it, how you get it back if we're gone. Three questions every IoT project should answer on day one. We answer them in the kickoff.
01principle
Vendor-neutral by structure.
We don't resell platforms. We don't carry partner badges. We don't have a commercial reason to recommend one stack over another. When we hand the project back, you can replace us — that's the point.

02deployment
Deploy where you want.
On-prem in your rack. Sovereign cloud in Europe — Hetzner, OVHcloud, IONOS. US hyperscaler if your team already runs there. Hybrid if it's both. No quota, no preferred partner, no quiet alignment.

03compliance
Built for the regulation that's already here.
NIS2 for critical infrastructure, DORA for finance-adjacent ops, Schrems II for anyone with personal data in the pipeline. Sensor data is operational data — it needs the same treatment, not less. We design for it from the architecture stage, not patch it in afterwards.

// 04 — processHow we work.
How we work.
In four stages.
Every project runs the same four stages. Each one has a clear output, a set price, and a named end — so you always know where the money goes.
01 /
Discover
Two weeks, fixed price. We look at what you have, find the real problem, and come back with a plan and a number.
2 wkfixed fee
02 /
Design
The architecture, the data model, the picks. Decisions you can defend three years in.
3–5 wk
03 /
Build
We build it with your team, not next to them. One codebase, clear ownership, no handoffs.
8–20 wk

Operate
We run it with you, then hand it over on a date we set up front.

One plant.
Every machine.
A precision manufacturer runs hundreds of sensors across four teams — each with different PLCs, vendors, and formats. We built one platform that pulls it all together, with a focused view for each team.

One platform. Four teams. Failures caught before they happen.

From my desk
to yours.
Zero46 is a small IoT consulting agency based in Malmö. Here's the short version from the person running it.
founder · engineer · malmö
Eight years of shipping meter fleets, alarm systems, and data platforms shaped how Zero46 works. Small, senior team — the person you meet is the person who builds it, and they stay on the project from first call to handover. You won't talk to a salesperson, and you won't be passed to whoever happens to be free.
If it needs to survive production, I'd like to hear about it.

Common
first questions.
Short answers. Ask if yours isn't here.
We work in four named stages — Discover, Design, Build, Operate. Each has a clear output, a set price, and a named end. Most projects run 3–9 months end to end.
No. Our advice isn't tied to a vendor quota. If you're on AWS, Azure, or on-prem already, we work inside it.
Discover is fixed at €42k for two weeks. After that we scope in clear chunks, each with a set price. No surprise invoices.
Senior engineers, hands-on. You won't talk to a salesperson, and you won't be reassigned to whoever happens to be free mid-project. The team has shipped production IoT for Waltero, Careium, Axians, PRYM.io, and is now running a sensor platform for a Swedish municipality. The person on your first call is one of the people writing the code.
Based in Malmö, Sweden. We work across the EU and UK, on-site when it helps, remote when it doesn't.
You keep the code, the documentation, and the know-how. We offer light support afterwards if you want it.

30 min first.
Two hours if it fits.
Book a 30-minute call — tell us what you're building. If there's a fit, we follow with a two-hour working session: architecture sketch, honest scope, no invoice.
