Blackbird is developing IoT solutions in the field of data collection and production monitoring. We are a small startup in a larger company, with plenty of opportunities to influence our journey and the choice of technologies.

Our team is working on new and exciting features and products that remove the friction of making production more efficient and profitable.

Firmware

Our IoT devices are bare-metal microcontroller based, and our firmware stack is fully written in Rust. We support a large number of advanced IoT features including but no limited to remote debugging, configuration, over-the-air updates and network failover technologies, while maintaining a high focus on stability and security of the devices and our customers data.

The common denominator for the job is a drive to learn new technologies and dive into the unknown.

Who we are

Blackbird ApS is a spin-off from emendo Consulting Group. It all began with the frustration over installing data collection systems on filling lines at the Danish brewery, Royal Unibrew. The consultants in emendo decided that better technology was needed. Blackbird's idea is to provide products and services, which will reduce wasted resources within companies and improve the way people live and work together. Everything is developed in-house and inspired by key customers and top graduate students. The Blackbird platform is already in use in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Our base is at our office in Nordhavn, close to Nordhavn st. (best view in Copenhagen!), where you will enter into a collaborative environment and modern office environment together with your team. Blackbird is part of emendo Consulting Group, which consists of 90 employees spread across Denmark, USA, and India.
