Deliver a MVP to present the product during the world’s largest trade fair – Bauma
The client is digitally conscious and requires experienced partners to collaborate in building a mobile application. Initially, it was mainly to build the front end of the application; now, we are developing the full mobile version.
The vision was to prepare the MVP of the application to be presented at the world-class BAUMA trade fair in Germany in 2022. This event is held once every three years. It showcases innovations, trends, and key players in the construction and mining machinery industry.
How we helped Vemcon unlock the potential
For our client, we have developed a comprehensive mobile application that automates the machine operation process. This is made possible by connecting the application with special devices that monitor the operation of excavators via Bluetooth.
Vemcon sent us four devices with which we performed tests. This consisted of us collecting information about the position of the excavator. At the same time, Bluetooth sensors (unique trackers) determined the exact position of the bucket. Thanks to this, we can see the precise location and movement of a device in the app. This IoT function allows operators to track, set, and manage key machine parameters.
In addition to conducting IoT tests, we worked closely with the client to recommend back-end improvements. This was needed because, at times, the API calls needed to be fixed. The entire application was written in React Native and developed for the mobile version on Android and iOS.
