IoT device control software with mobile and cloud apps
A technician needs to configure equipment at a job site. The office needs to review what the device reported. AHG plans custom mobile, gateway, and cloud software around those tasks and the connections available at each location.
Choose from the job requirements
Choose how people work with each device
An Internet of Things (IoT) project connects equipment with other devices or software. It may use a mobile app, a gateway, a local network, or cloud software, depending on the work and site conditions.
- Person beside the equipment
On-site setup
A mobile app can give a technician the settings and controls needed at the device.
- Choose the connection
Device-to-office handoff
An app or gateway can send the agreed records through the available site connection.
- People reviewing the records
Multi-site review
Cloud software can organize submitted device records by equipment and location.
Make the equipment task clear
Set up and operate equipment on site
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) can connect a mobile app to nearby equipment. Plan the setup or control steps against the device interface and the technician's work.
Control and check
Plan the operating command and the response the user needs to see. Check the result while the technician is beside the equipment.
Collect the required data
Choose the measurements or operating data to read. Keep each result associated with the device and location.
From equipment to office review
Bring device records back to the office
Cloud software can collect the records sent by an app or gateway and make them available for office review. Define what each office record contains and who needs to read it.
Agree on the transfer timing, connection requirements, and handling of incomplete transfers. Use a sample record to work through the review and reporting tasks.

Bring the site conditions into the plan
Plan for the site, users, and connections
Describe the equipment, number of locations, available power and network connections, and the people doing each job. These details help decide where software should run.
Work at each location
List which actions require someone beside the device and what information can stay on the local network. Include the checks a technician should complete before leaving.
Work across locations
Define the records office users need to compare and the reports they prepare. Agree on user access and how missing or incomplete records should be shown.

Project questions
Frequently asked questions
How can a mobile app work with an IoT device?
A custom mobile app can let a technician configure settings, control an operation, and read data from a device on site. The device interface and the work determine which actions the app supports.
What does cloud software do in an IoT project?
Cloud software can receive device records from a mobile app or gateway and make them available for office review and reporting. The project defines the records, user access, and connection needed for that handoff.
Can Bluetooth Low Energy be used for device setup?
Yes. A mobile app can use Bluetooth Low Energy to exchange setup information with a nearby device that supports the required interface. The equipment and setup steps are checked as part of the project.
