Platform overview

What is Ngin8?

Ngin8 is a backend platform that handles everything an IoT product needs — connectivity, authentication, real-time messaging, command control, logging, payment flow, and data processing — so developers and companies can focus on hardware innovation instead of server infrastructure.

Capabilities

All your IoT backend in one place

Device connectivity

Secure MQTT & device provisioning

Bi-directional communication, identity-based topics, per-device credentials, and health monitoring for any ESP32, 4G/5G, or gateway-based device fleet.

Payment-ready

QR, PromptPay & wallet flows

Integrated payment orchestration for vending machines, lockers, laundromats, kiosks, and more — from QR request to payment confirmation and device command.

Telemetry & logs

High-frequency device data

Store sanitized logs as Parquet on object storage, query with analytics engines like Athena, and build dashboards for operations and support.

Command orchestration

Safe control operations

Send actions such as start, stop, open, dispense, unlock — with request_id validation, timeouts, and replay protection for safety.

Unified API

One API for every device

A single, consistent API surface for different brands and device types — reduce integration effort and simplify future hardware upgrades.

AI (coming soon)

AI-assisted automation

Future-ready layer for anomaly detection, auto-pricing, predictive maintenance, and autonomous robotics control on top of your live device data.

Fit

Who is Ngin8 for?

Hardware manufacturers

  • Add cloud intelligence and remote control to existing machines.
  • Offer “connected” product lines without building a backend team.
  • Launch new digital service revenue models on top of your hardware.

IoT startups & solution builders

  • Go to market faster with a pre-built backend foundation.
  • Focus on customer experience and hardware, not servers.
  • Scale from a few prototypes to hundreds or thousands of devices.

Robotics developers

  • Use secure command channels for remote operation and telemetry.
  • Standardize how robots talk to your cloud systems.
  • Prepare for AI/autonomous behaviors with structured data pipelines.

Enterprises & operators

  • Manage fleets of vending, laundry, lockers, and other smart assets.
  • Monitor performance, uptime, and revenue from a central place.
  • Deploy in the cloud or in your own private environment.
Examples

Example use cases

A single platform designed to power many different smart devices and robotics projects.

SmartPayBox & vending

  • QR-based payment box for existing machines.
  • Ice vending, water vending, and more.
  • Per-transaction logging and settlement reports.

Laundromats & washers/dryers

  • Control each machine via cloud commands.
  • Track usage, errors, and maintenance events.
  • Support loyalty or membership integrations.

Smart lockers

  • QR payment per channel or per session.
  • Secure unlock via command and PIN.
  • Real-time status for each door and slot.

Robotics & autonomous devices

  • Connect lawn mowers, delivery robots, or custom mobile platforms.
  • Stream status and sensor data to Ngin8.
  • Coordinate jobs and commands from the cloud.

Sensor networks & gateways

  • Collect telemetry via gateways in factories, buildings, or cities.
  • Normalize data and forward to your BI tools.
  • Trigger rules and alerts from a central rule engine.

Custom IoT deployments

  • Any project that needs devices online, visible, and controllable.
  • Mix multiple device types in one platform.
  • Extend via APIs and webhooks to your existing systems.
Under the hood

How Ngin8 works

Ngin8 connects devices through secure MQTT, validates commands, processes business logic, interacts with payment services, writes sanitized logs, and sends real-time responses back to devices — all built on top of reliable cloud infrastructure.

Response back to device
  • Connectivity: Each device connects via TLS-secured MQTT with unique identity.
  • Logic: Backend services inspect the request, check device type, customer, and rules.
  • Payments: Optional payment flow (e.g., QR) is initiated and verified.
  • Logging: Every step is logged for operations, support, and auditing.
  • Command: A final command is sent back to the device, such as “unlock channel 07”.
