Fridge Sensors – IoT Application Development

The core of the project is an IoT solution providing HoReCa venues with a possibility to monitor the work of industrial (commercial) refrigerators online, get instant alerts on urgent issues and manage historical data.

Business Objectives

The objectives of the project set for SumatoSoft team by the Client were the following:

To plan, design and develop an MVP to prove the feasibility of the project to investors and demonstrate the solution to future clients;

To integrate the new application into the ecosystem of the client’s existing solutions.

By the time the client turned to SumatoSoft for software development assistance and guidance they had already developed and tested the required devices.

Challenge

The major challenge of our team was to develop administrative and end-user panels, implement core features for monitoring and data visualization (temperature, electricity, door sensor), and provide integration with the data source.

 

SumatoSoft team was entrusted with connection of the IoT devices (smart sensors) to the wireless network, enabling transmission and processing of data collected by the sensors.

Develop Administrative and End-User Panels

Connect IoT Devices

Implement Features for Data Transmission, Processing and Visualization

OUR SOLUTION

AN APPLICATION WITH MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES, SUFFICIENT FOR INITIAL COMMERCIAL USE AND USER FEEDBACK. THE MVP VERSION OF THE SOLUTION INCLUDED:

  • A tool for data gathering and systematization;

  • A web panel for service administration and sensors setup;

  • A web panel for end users.

THE APPLICATION INCORPORATED A NUMBER OF SPECIFIC FEATURES, SUCH AS:

  • Robust integration with an external data source (Firebase);

  • Integration with JS library for extensive data visualization.

  • A custom system for roles administration with extended permissions management.

THE SOLUTION DEVELOPED BY SUMATOSOFT ALLOWS TO:

  • Monitor refrigerators in real time (condition, temperature, whether doors are closed)

  • Get instant alerts in case of emergencies

  • Be notified when refrigerators need to be repaired

  • Access historical data and analyze statistics (track condition over time)
