Bristol, UK · Since 2014
From idea to proven product, under one roof: hardware, firmware, cloud and AI designed as one system.
Our own platforms, proven in the field and reused across deployments, ready to scale.
See Our Products ClientsSystems delivered and running for others, with one senior lead accountable for hardware, firmware, cloud and apps.
See Our Projects Partners & FundersPrototypes, field trials and joint PhD research ready for the next stage, with a track record of grant and university funding.
See Our R&DWhat We Do
We design embedded systems end to end: the electronics, the firmware and the software around them. Bring us an idea, a half-finished design or a problem in the field, and we take it to a working prototype or a finished product.
Schematics, component choice and PCB layout for low-power, connected boards, from a single sensor node to a multi-network gateway.
See it in: Axino boardsMicrocontroller and embedded Linux firmware: sensors, radios, power management, local logic and remote updates.
See it in: iTrack trackersRapid prototyping of electronics and IoT devices: a working prototype in weeks to test an idea in the field, support a funding bid or show investors.
See it in: Parking sensorFrom prototype to production: turning a prototype into something you can make and sell: enclosure, design for manufacture, testing and small-batch builds.
See it in: Sensor MagicCameras and AI models that run on the device, counting, detecting and classifying in the field without sending every frame to the cloud.
See it in: InsectoThe software around the device: data platform, dashboards, alerts and mobile apps, on our Axino platform or your own stack.
See it in: Axino platformRetrofit sensors and controllers onto plant you already run, such as pumps, meters, lighting and air conditioning, to cut cost and see faults early.

Send Us Your BriefHow We Work
Five clear steps from first conversation to products in the field. Each one ends with something you can use, so you can stop, pause or carry on with full knowledge of cost and risk.
A short call to understand what you need and whether we are the right fit, at no cost.
You getA clear next step
Requirements, technical options, risks and a costed plan, at a fixed price agreed up front.
You getReport and costed plan
Working hardware, firmware and software, tested against the requirements you signed off.
You getWorking prototype and test results
Staged design to a production-ready product, with a review at the end of each stage before you commit to the next.
You getProduction-ready design files
Small-batch builds, help moving to volume manufacture, then field support and upgrades.
You getUnits in the field, supported
How We Deliver
We follow INCOSE systems engineering practice (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288) and run projects in PRINCE2 management stages, so every stage ends at a decision gate where you review progress, risk and the business case before committing to the next.
Business and mission analysis, stakeholder needs and requirements, feasibility.
System requirements, architecture and design definition, prototypes and verification.
Manufacture, integration and factory acceptance testing.
Transition to site, site acceptance and validation in operational use.
Maintenance, upgrades and field support for the life of the system.
Planned disposal and handover to a successor system.

Research & Leadership
Dr M Fahim Tariq, Founder & Director
Fahim founded SciFlair in 2014 and has led engineering programmes for more than 25 years, including several security and automation programmes covering audio, video and data systems. His focus is innovation: taking cutting-edge technologies such as edge AI, IoT and wireless communications and turning them into systems that work reliably in the field. He holds a PhD in adaptive modem design from the University of Bristol.
For each project, Fahim brings in experienced engineers he has worked with for years, with the right skills for the job. Work is run from SciFlair's own office and research lab in Bristol, with systems delivered in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. Electronics, firmware, cloud and apps are designed together, so every system works as one.
