We develop custom Bluetooth low energy (BLE) mobile apps for Android and iOS. These include mobile apps for BLE beacons, Bluetooth based IoT devices and systems, and BLE mesh.
Bluetooth low energy (BLE) protocol plays bigger and bigger role in the IoT applications.
BLE technology is used in various IoT systems, from smart lighting and smart buildings to
the industrial IoT sensors to asset tracking applications. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is a preferred choice for the IoT systems
due to its low energy use, well defined standards, and support of beacons and mesh technologies.
Another very important aspect is Bluetooth support by the smartphones and tablets. Smartphones support
allows customers to easily interact with the IoT devices using a BLE mobile app.
BLE mesh is the only IoT technology that does not require multiple gateways or a proprietary firmware to configure and
control IoT network devices.
BLE mesh networks can be commissioned and controlled
using a regular smartphone with the BLE mobile app installed.
The convenience of use and lower costs make Bluetooth mesh grow in popularity fast.
BLE beacons give companies a low cost option for the real time assets and people tracking.
BLE tags
serve as an alternative to RFID for the automated
asset tracking system.
Unlike RFID technology that requires special readers, BLE tags
can be discovered and tracked using a smartphone with the asset tracking mobile app.
IoT devices with the embedded BLE chip give users an easy way to interact with them using a smartphone.
A Bluetooth mobile app can replace a control panel, allowing users to set up and control
IoT devices. Any changes to the BLE mobile app interface and functionality can be made fast
without a need to update device design and hardware.
Based on the widespread use of the Bluetooth low energy technology there is a good chance you will need a BLE mobile app and software development.
It could be for enhancing your customer experience, producing modern products that customers want, or for increasing your business
operations efficiency. Whatever your project is, AHG has a team of experienced BLE applications developers who are ready to work with you on your
project.
We have experience developing BLE mobile apps for Android and iOS that communicate with the Bluetooth enabled IoT devices and wearables.
In essence, these applications make a smartphone work as a device control panel.
A customer can use a mobile app to configure and change device settings,
control the IoT device, and download data from the device if applicable.
A BLE mobile app is much more convenient for the end user than a control panel or push buttons.
It has a better, simpler and more intuitive UI, can give a user more explanations and guidance, and is much easier to update than a control panel.
This is why many manufacturers of all kinds of electronic devices, from industrial machinery to smart home appliances, are including a
BLE module in their design
and a mobile app for the user to interact with the device.
Wireless lighting systems based on the Bluetooth mesh (smart lighting) allow you to completely automate lighting management (scenes, scheduling, brightness levels, etc.) These capabilities result in the most efficient power use, with the minimum maintenance cost and manual labor. Bluetooth mesh mobile application allows authorized employees to commission, configure and control smart lighting systems without a need for the maintenance calls and special hardware.
In the smart buildings IoT networks multiple appliances (lighting, HVAC system, security) may use a BLE mesh protocol for the wireless communication. Unlike other wireless technologies, you can control the whole complex system of appliances using a web-based software and / or a mobile application - no additional hardware required. Use a web dashboard to create and configure BLE mesh IoT networks. Provision IoT devices and apply configuration parameters on site, adjust configuration if needed using a BLE mobile application.
Modern facilities are relying on multiple sensors (temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure, CO2 content, occupancy, ambient light, etc.) for the maintenance of the correct environmental conditions. If the values go out of range authorized personnel is alerted and can remedy a problem fast, often remotely. A Bluetooth IoT mobile app can be used to configure and control BLE mesh sensor networks, as well as reading accumulated data and sending them to the back-end cloud software for processing.
Although Bluetooth mesh is mostly used in the industrial facilities, BLE based smart home systems are rapidly catching up. BLE mesh IoT networks allow people to easily control home lighting, heating and AC systems, door locks, etc. BLE mobile app allows users to easily configure and change home appliances and lighting settings without the professional help. For example a user can configure what switch turns on / off which group of lights without a need for inviting an electrician and do rewiring.
You can let your customers easily interact with the devices you manufacture using a smartphone and a BLE mobile application. A mobile app serve as a control panel for the device, allowing end user to change settings and control device operations from a smartphone.
You can use BLE tags and a mobile app to track assets and equipment in real time: in the field, on the job sites, in any out-of-the-office location. BLE tags allow for the fast and efficient asset tracking using bulk scanning. You can also use IoT gateways for a fully automated asset tracking system.
You can use BLE tags and braclets for tracking employees and visitors. Depending on your set up, you can track who is entering and exiting an area, or where each person is at any given time. You can create a "geofenced" areas and receive automatic alerts if a visitor or an employee got in the area where they are not supposed to be.
Use stationary bluetooth beacons to give customers map-based directions in the large indoor areas where GPS location is not available. Send relevant notifications to the customers' smartphones based on their location.
