Development of a Cross-Platform IoT Sensor Monitoring and Management Application

The client faces difficulties in effectively monitoring sensor data from industrial equipment due to disparate hardware components and limited software integration. They require a unified mobile platform to visualize sensor metrics, manage device controls, and implement real-time notifications, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and timely response to sensor alerts.

A mid-sized manufacturing firm seeking to connect and monitor industrial sensors and equipment in real-time, enabling proactive maintenance and operational insights.

• Create a cross-platform mobile application supporting both iOS smartphones and tablets for seamless access.
• Implement real-time data collection and visualization from industrial sensors connected through an IoT platform.
• Enable device control functionalities such as toggling LEDs or machine states remotely.
• Develop rule-based notification and alert systems to promptly inform operators of critical sensor readings.
• Provide an open-source reference design to empower engineers and developers in extending the solution.

• Compatibility with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).
• Real-time collection and display of sensor metrics such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and motion detection.
• Visualization of both current and historical sensor data.
• Remote control of connected hardware (e.g., toggle LEDs, start/stop equipment).
• Rule-based notifications and alerts based on sensor thresholds or patterns.
• Open source reference design for further customization and development.

• IoT platform for data ingestion and rule management.
• Device hardware supporting sensor data transmission and remote control.
• Notification services to deliver alerts and status updates to users.

• Responsive performance with minimal latency for real-time data updates.
• Scalable architecture capable of supporting increasing sensor connections.
• Secure data transmission and user authentication, ensuring confidentiality and integrity.
• High availability with 99.9% uptime to ensure continuous monitoring.

The implementation of this IoT sensor monitoring app is expected to improve operational efficiency by providing real-time visibility into industrial equipment, reducing downtime through proactive alerts, and enabling remote management of devices. Anticipated outcomes include increased productivity, faster response times to sensor anomalies, and a foundation for scalable IoT expansion within the manufacturing environment.
