Embedded systems & hardware engineering, Abuja, Nigeria
We build the boards, firmware, and sensors that keep working when the grid doesn't.
Anvilware designs and manufactures embedded hardware for industry across Nigeria and West Africa — from power monitoring to connected sensor networks — and engineers custom systems for clients who need it done right the first time.
01
Design
Schematic capture, PCB layout, and enclosure design for products that survive field conditions, not just lab tests.
02
Build
Firmware and hardware bring-up for boards running on ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V, and ESP32, from prototype to first production run.
03
Deploy
Connectivity, monitoring, and fleet support for devices out in the field, on grids and networks that aren't always cooperative.
Products
Hardware we design, build, and stand behind.
VoltGuard
A power monitoring module
FieldNode
Solar-powered sensor node for remote agriculture sites.
BenchFlow
An open test-and-measurement rig for firmware teams.
RailWatch
Vibration and tamper sensing for transit infrastructure.
Services
Engineering support for teams building their own hardware.
Firmware & embedded software
Bare-metal and RTOS firmware for custom hardware.
PCB design & prototyping
Schematic capture, layout, and bring-up.
IoT & connectivity integration
Getting devices onto GSM, LoRa, NB-IoT, and Wi-Fi reliably.
Product engineering consulting
Technical due diligence and roadmap support.
