Engineering consulting & systems integration Est. 2013 · Los Angeles

Complex systems. Practical engineering. Real-world results.

We help organizations plan, design, integrate and deploy technology that works beyond the drawing board. From IT infrastructure and industrial monitoring to connected devices, edge AI and custom hardware, Aerialpixels brings engineering and implementation together.

Independent technical guidance Hardware-to-cloud integration Strategy through field deployment

One technical partner. From initial assessment to deployment.

Complex projects rarely fit neatly into one discipline. A successful solution may need network architecture, field instrumentation, embedded hardware, cloud software, a reliable data pipeline and several outside vendors.

We connect those pieces: whether you need a second opinion, an implementation plan, technical project leadership or a fully engineered system. The work starts with the operational problem and the constraints around it, not with a product.

Two ways to work with us

Bring us in to advise, or to build. Most engagements begin as one and continue as the other.

Technical consulting & project leadership

Independent engineering assessments, architecture reviews, technology selection, vendor evaluation, implementation planning and technical oversight. Bring us in to reduce uncertainty, challenge assumptions and make sound decisions before committing to a major investment.

Engineering, integration & deployment

Hands-on design and integration across sensors, embedded systems, networks, servers, edge compute, cloud services, robotics and unmanned systems. We build solutions that can be tested, maintained and operated in the real world.

Expertise across the full technology stack

Eight areas, one team. Each links to how we actually approach the work.

IT infrastructure & systems architecture

Servers, networking, virtualisation, secure remote connectivity, on-premises and cloud systems, resilience, and integration with specialised operational technology.

NetworksVirtualisationCloud & on-premResilience

Industrial IoT & remote monitoring

Sensor networks, gateways, loggers, telemetry, alerting and dashboards that turn distributed field data into operational visibility someone can act on.

SensorsTelemetryAlertingDashboards

Geotechnical & structural instrumentation

Monitoring architectures for vibrating-wire and MEMS instruments: piezometers, inclinometers, load cells, acquisition hardware and remote communications.

VW & MEMSLoggersCalibration

Edge AI & computer vision

Local inference, vision pipelines, video analytics, device constraints, model deployment and system-level integration for environments where cloud-only processing is not enough.

InferenceVisionEdge hardware

UAV / UAS systems engineering

Airframe and payload integration, power systems, onboard computing, telemetry, sensing and mission-specific engineering support.

PlatformsPayloadsOnboard compute

Custom hardware & prototyping

Proof-of-concept development, embedded platforms, electronics and enclosure integration, prototype testing, and a path to small-batch production.

PrototypesEmbeddedEnclosures

IP video, surveillance & edge analytics

Camera systems become useful when imaging, networking, recording, access control, storage and analytics work together. We assess legacy installations, plan IP and PoE upgrades, design video management and retention, and judge where edge AI adds real operational value.

VMSPoE designRetentionAnalytics

IPTV & networked video distribution

Reliable video distribution across hospitality, residences, workplaces and multi-display facilities: source selection, network readiness, control interfaces and endpoint management.

The hard part is making everything work together

A sensor may work in the lab. A camera may capture excellent footage. A server may run perfectly on its own. The challenge is making every component work reliably as one system, across real sites, real networks, real weather and real operating constraints.

We focus on interfaces, data integrity, maintainability, failure modes, security and the practical details that decide whether a project is still working in year three.

How we integrate

Built for complex, real-world environments

The common thread is not the sector. It is that the environment is unforgiving and the system has to keep working when nobody is watching it.

Mission-specific sensing, robotics, video, communications and operational technology.
Property & facilities
Evaluation and integration of extensive camera, network, monitoring and control environments.

Engineering judgment without the vendor bias

We operate where IT, instrumentation, hardware and field deployment meet. That means we can look at what already exists, identify what can be reused, separate the essential upgrade from the unnecessary replacement, and work alongside your team and specialist contractors.

Recommendations
Independent, and grounded in technical trade-offs rather than a product catalogue.
Involvement
Direct engagement in architecture and the decisions that set the cost of the project.
Documentation
Clear records, handoff and maintainability goals, written for the team who inherits the system.
Path
A practical route from first investigation through to implementation.

Clarity first. Then engineering.

Assess

Objectives, constraints, existing infrastructure, stakeholders, risks and the decisions that matter most.

Design

A practical architecture, implementation roadmap, technology options, budget assumptions and success criteria.

Validate

Prototype or pilot the critical elements before major commitments. Test reliability, integration and the operating assumptions.

Deliver

Support vendors and internal teams through implementation, documentation, training, handover and ongoing technical refinement where it is needed.

Selected engineering challenges

Four problems that show the range. Client names stay private. Imagery on this site is illustrative, not a record of a client site.

Monitoring

Remote slope monitoring

Dependable measurements from distributed, difficult-to-access sites: a multi-sensor architecture with long-range telemetry and centralised visibility.

Inspection

UAV-assisted infrastructure inspection

Turning large volumes of inspection imagery into faster, more consistent review through an image-processing and computer-vision workflow.

Energy

Solar asset monitoring

Surfacing potential thermal anomalies at scale: thermal inspection data and an automated review workflow for maintenance teams.

Utilities

Utility monitoring & connected data

Better visibility into distributed infrastructure through field data acquisition, network integration and operational APIs.

Read the engagements

Experience across disciplines. Accountability across the project.

Founded in 2013, Aerialpixels has grown from its roots in unmanned systems engineering into a broader consulting and systems integration practice. Our work brings together infrastructure, instrumentation, embedded systems, networking, cloud software and field deployment.

Strong engineering starts with understanding the operational problem, not choosing a product. We work with client teams and specialist partners to make technology decisions easier to understand and systems easier to maintain.

Have a complex project? Let's talk through it.

A new deployment, an evaluation of a proposal, a system that needs modernising, or independent technical leadership. A short description is enough to start.
