Infrastructure for autonomous systems

Engineering teams use Zequent to deploy autonomous systems faster, operate them safely, and scale them without rewriting their stack.Think Kubernetes, but for autonomous systems running in the real world.

The Problem

Autonomous systems break in production

Teams building autonomous systems spend more time on infrastructure plumbing than on the product itself. The tooling landscape is fragmented, vendor-specific, and not designed for production.

Integration hell

Every hardware vendor ships its own SDK with its own protocol and data format. You write adapter code instead of application logic.

No standard for operations

No unified way to plan a mission, stream telemetry, or send a command across different hardware. New device, new pipeline, from scratch.

Fragile at scale

What works for 3 drones in a lab breaks at 30 in the field. Telemetry pipelines, mission planners, and deployments don't scale without a rewrite.

Deployment constraints

Defense and public safety need on-premise, sometimes fully air-gapped. You need EU cloud and isolated on-prem from one codebase, with compliance built in.

The Solution

One platform, edge to cloud

Zequent replaces the patchwork of vendor SDKs, custom adapters, and glue code with a single layered architecture. Hardware adapters and application logic connect through well-defined service boundaries. You write the parts that matter -- the framework handles the rest.

Deploy on EU-hosted cloud infrastructure or fully air-gapped on-premise installations. Same platform, same SDKs, same configuration. Your application code does not change between deployment targets.

Zequent platform architecture — edge to cloud

SDKs

Build applications that command and monitor autonomous systems. Typed interfaces for remote control, telemetry, missions, and more. Add a dependency, configure, and start calling services.

Client SDK Docs

Edge Adapters

Connect any hardware to the platform. Implement a single interface for your specific device -- drones, docks, vehicles, sensors. The framework handles registration, streaming, and routing.

Edge SDK Docs

Platform Services

Remote control, live telemetry, mission autonomy, asset management, and AI detection -- all exposed as platform services. Your SDKs connect to them automatically.

Capabilities

Everything autonomous systems need

From direct hardware control to fleet-wide intelligence. Each capability is a service in the platform, accessible through the SDK with typed interfaces and structured responses.

Remote Control

Direct command execution for flight control, gimbal positioning, and manual input. Low-latency command-response architecture ensures responsive operation regardless of distance.

Live Telemetry

Persistent data streams for position, battery, signal, and custom sensor data. Push from the edge, subscribe from the application -- real-time visibility across your entire fleet.

Mission Planning

Define missions with tasks, waypoints, and scheduling. The platform handles execution order, state transitions, and progress tracking across concurrent operations.

Data Streaming

Live video feeds from cameras and sensors on the edge. Multi-stream support, recording, and relay -- all routed through the platform with no direct device access required.

Asset Management

Registry for all connected hardware -- drones, docks, vehicles, sensors. Manage organizations, capabilities, and metadata. The single source of truth for your deployment.

Detection and AI

Computer vision and inference pipelines at the edge or in the cloud. Object detection, tracking, and classification with pluggable model backends integrated into the data flow.

How It Works

From zero to production in three steps

Get operational fast. The framework handles infrastructure so you focus on your application logic and hardware integration.

01

Add the SDK

Add one dependency to your project. The SDK auto-configures connections to platform services using environment variables. No boilerplate, no scaffolding tools required.

02

Connect your hardware

Build an edge adapter for your specific device by implementing a single interface. Override the methods your hardware supports -- the framework handles registration, streaming, and routing.

03

Ship to production

Deploy to EU cloud or on-premise with the same codebase. Docker containers, environment configuration, and compliance are built into the deployment model from day one.

In the Field

Built for real-world operations

Defense, public safety, agriculture, industrial inspection -- the leading companies rely on Zequent for running autonomous systems in mission-critical production.

Why Zequent

What you actually get

Technical decisions that make a difference when you are shipping autonomous systems to production environments.

No glue code

The framework defines clean interfaces between your application and the hardware layer. Add a dependency, call typed methods -- no custom protocols or serialization layers in between.

Hardware-agnostic

Switching vendors means writing a new adapter, not rewriting your application. The framework abstracts hardware operations so your application logic stays the same regardless of the hardware underneath.

Deploy anywhere

EU cloud or fully air-gapped on-premise. Same containers, same configuration, same SDKs. Your application code does not change between deployment targets. GDPR compliance is built into the architecture.

Production-grade scale

Services scale independently. Sustained telemetry from hundreds of assets, concurrent mission operations with conflict detection. This is framework infrastructure for real deployments, not a prototype toolkit.

Open, not opaque

You see the interfaces. You see the data models. You control the adapter code. No proprietary black boxes between your application and your hardware. The framework provides structure. The logic is yours.

Modern stack

Built on a modern, battle-tested runtime optimized for fast startup, low memory footprint, and native compilation. The same stack that runs cloud microservices at scale, applied to robotics.
