From idea to working prototype, MVP or POC — in one team
Voltron builds prototypes, MVPs and proof-of-concepts end-to-end — custom electronics, embedded firmware and full-stack software in the same workshop. Batmobiles, LED installations, car dashboards on CAN bus / OBD-II, fleet trackers, on-set movie tech, ERPs, BMS + telemetry integration for sourced battery packs, medical sensors. For companies, artists, film crews and creatives.
Discovery → Prototype → MVP → Production
Most custom projects fail because someone jumps straight to production before validating the idea. We do it the other way around, at each stage with an honest verdict:
- Discovery — a real conversation about the problem. What does “working” actually mean? What must it survive?
- Prototype / POC — typically 2–8 weeks. A proof-of-concept you can hold, drive, touch, or run — enough to answer “can this work at all?”
- MVP — the first real, deployable version. Enough features to solve the actual problem and put in front of your first users or customers.
- Production — hardening, documentation, spare-parts kit, training, ongoing support. Only if the MVP proved out.
- Honest verdict at every step — kill, iterate, or scale. The prototype and MVP are yours either way.
What we do — four pillars, one team
Real projects we’ve shipped
Every card below is a real project delivered to a real customer. Ask us anything about any of them.
Who this is for
Artists, creatives, event producers
You have an idea for an interactive installation, a themed vehicle, a lighting piece or a custom prop. We build the electronics + software to make it work reliably in the real world.
Vehicle owners & garages
Custom conversions, restorations, fleet trackers and dashboard upgrades. If the vehicle has electricity in it, we can extend it.
Startups & product founders
You want to validate a hardware or software idea before raising money or committing to production. We build the proof-of-concept end-to-end in 2–8 weeks so you know it actually works.
Established businesses
You have an internal workflow, a fleet, a legacy product line, or a new sensor idea that needs custom electronics + software. We design, deploy and support.
Applied AI — in-house, for your business
Not another chatbot. We build custom AI that lives inside your workflow — trained on your data, deployed on your infrastructure, and honest about what it can and cannot do.
Invoices, offers, contracts — extract fields into your ERP instead of typing them.
Trained on your catalogue, docs and past tickets — not on the whole internet.
Time-series models on your BMS, motor or machine data — catch failures before they cost you.
Camera + model at the production line for defects, counts and part identification.
Auto-route incoming mail, extract action items, draft replies for humans to approve.
Voice notes to invoices, phone calls to CRM entries, multilingual pipelines.
Send us a short description of the workflow, decision or task you want AI to help with. Within a few days we send back a written plan: what data you already have, what model fits, integration approach, realistic timeline and honest cost estimate. If AI isn’t the right tool, we’ll tell you that too.
Describe your use case →We’re a small in-house engineering team, not a 500-person consultancy. That means: we take on projects where our hands-on hardware + firmware + software combination is actually needed. We don’t chase enterprise SaaS-only work, we don’t pretend to do smart-city deployments, and we don’t sell you a slide deck. If your project fits, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too and often point you to someone better.
