Live for Testing
The app is available on Google Play, and the client is testing it before broader promotion.
Challenge
Our client, a hardware manufacturer specializing in lighting solutions—particularly for emergency vehicles—sought to expand their product offering for this niche market. They aimed to introduce a mobile solution that would enable users to track assets inside emergency vehicles using Android smartphones paired with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons. The primary goal was to simplify and speed up inventory management for emergency service personnel.
Our development team was tasked with building an Android app to test the feasibility of this concept. The client wanted to evaluate the app’s technical capabilities and determine its value to the target audience before moving forward with a full-scale rollout.
Solution
To address the client’s needs, we developed a mobile application tailored to streamline asset management within emergency vehicles. The app leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to track and manage assets in real-time, offering seamless integration with the vehicle’s inventory system. It was designed with a focus on user-friendliness and operational efficiency for emergency service teams.
The application provides a comprehensive solution, incorporating features that support vehicle and asset management, Bluetooth device scanning, and real-time tracking.
Vehicle Management
Users can easily view, add, edit, and delete vehicles within the app. Each vehicle is assigned a unique ID by default, making the process simple and organized.
Asset Status Updates
The status of each asset is updated in real-time based on signal strength, ensuring users are always aware of the asset’s current condition. The status categories include Inside, Outside, and Indeterminate.
Asset Management per Vehicle
Once a vehicle is selected, users can access and view the list of assets associated with that vehicle.
Detailed Asset View
Tapping on an asset provides a detailed, read-only screen with key information, such as asset name, description, signal strength, and the last time a signal was received. Additionally, a small asset history graph displays signal strength over time.
Asset History Tracking
The app includes a feature for users to view the signal strength history of an asset, displayed in a graph format. The history is updated in real-time, and users can zoom in on the data to examine signal strength over different time periods, ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
Bluetooth Device Scanning
Users can scan for nearby BLE devices, including beacons and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. This feature allows users to easily connect and assign devices with known MAC addresses to the inventory list.
