Project Summary

VOLANSYS developed an IoT-based iOS platform for grain monitoring, combining sensors, cloud backend, LoRaWAN connectivity and Bluetooth integration. The vendor also produced and manufactured electronics and a custom test board to validate device specifications. Their team helped deliver a previously delayed product on schedule and supported the client with cross-domain expertise including manufacturing and integration.

Key Challenges

Need to monitor temperature and moisture inside grain bins.
Existing technology for grain monitoring was insufficiently advanced.
Required an IoT platform and an app developer able to handle end-to-end development plus manufacturing and integration expertise.

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
IoT platform with sensors and cloud backend
LoRaWAN network connectivity integration
Bluetooth device configuration support
Custom electronics board for testing
Manufactured electronics based on requirements

Project Solution

They developed an IoT-based platform for iOS that integrated sensors, a cloud backend, LoRaWAN network connectivity and Bluetooth. The iOS application configures devices and the mass network and interacts with remote devices sending Bluetooth signals. VOLANSYS also produced and manufactured electronics per the client's requirements and developed a small electronics test board to finalize and validate the hardware specifications.

Project Outcome

Met the deadline for release.
Vendor demonstrated quick understanding of product requirements, which was critical to completing the iOS product.
Used Jira and an agile methodology with weekly reports to manage progress and communication.
