Company’s request Our client had implemented a Bluetooth-based tracking system for inventory and personnel within their IoT ecosystem. Seeking improved accuracy in item localization, they decided to transition to a solution using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. The primary challenge was to replace the existing Bluetooth system with UWB technology, ensuring the new system maintained high levels of efficiency and reliability. Solution Our team developed a UWB-based real-time location system (RTLS) using a multi-antenna approach, combining hardware and software into an integrated platform. This solution caters to a variety of indoor tracking applications, including asset tracking, material flow management, and employee location monitoring within a warehouse environment. In our RTLS implementation, Tags emit UWB signals which are picked up by devices known as anchors. The tags are designed to operate in a low power mode and initiate updates to system parameters, achieved through occasional communications with the anchors. Communication between a tag and an anchor is established when a tag sends a packet containing a data frame, setting a 'systemRequest' flag. This signals the tag's readiness to receive a configuration packet from the anchor, which then times its transmission to ensure the tag's receipt. Anchors send UDP packets to a specified server address and are also configured to receive UDP packets from the server. Gathering multiple reports from different anchors enables the server to determine the location of the originating tag. Learn more Read More

After the research phase, we created a complex turn-key solution for smart parking which can be implemented in any kind of parking lot, is flexible, easy-to-use (both for the operator and customers) and results in cost-savings for the owner. The solution consists of sensors, Cloud, Web dashboard, and Mobile App. The signal transmission from the sensor to the Cloud is performed by LoraWan and Bluetooth 5.0. HARDWARE The Smart Parking node includes an external enclosure, the PCB, the battery, the antenna, and the internal enclosure piece. The PCB is screwed to the base and the base is screwed to the external enclosure piece. The antenna is glued to the external enclosure and connects to the PCB via coax cable with u.FL connector. The Smart Parking node can be equipped with a GPS module for outdoor parking. The GPS can ease the initial installation for big parking lots. For indoor positioning on underground and multistorey parking lots, nodes are equipped with NRF52832 Bluetooth 5.0 enabled MCU. With installed mobile app nodes, indoor locations can be as accurate as outdoor GPS. Power supply: replaceable lithium-thionyl chloride AA batteries; the expected lifetime – 5-10 years (depends on settings and usage) Radio protocol: LoRaWAN / Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth position accuracy: < 3m GPS position accuracy: < 3m Operating temperature: -20 to +65 °C CLOUD The cloud is developed as Serverless Architecture using the latest AWS Services. This kind of architecture allows pay and scale as you go. The cloud receives slot status and notifies all subscribers in real-time. Also, it keeps all data for future analytics or predictions. WEB APP The Web app is targeted for employees who will operate the parking facility. Using the Amplify React component and AWS Cognito, we implemented the authorization of operators and customers (users). By using GraphQL and AWS AppSync, parking space status is visualized in real-time. The Web app shows detailed statistics about parking spaces and cars: which parking spaces are the busiest/ which car make and models parked/which times are the busiest/ and what revenues are derived from each space. The parking manager can see what car and plate numbers are parked in each space.  Parking owners can reduce costs on payments and tickets: our solution can be paperless (a user would just need to scan the QR code from their mobile phone). MOBILE APP Using React Native and Typescript, we developed a cross-platform application that is suitable both for Android and IOS. The Mobile App is targeted to help parking lot clients control the parking process (parking space status and all collateral information are updated in real-time so clients can use a smartphone without any data delay).  With Mobile App Users Can: Search for parking with some criteria (near user’s location, opening hours, cheapest, available slots, slots for EV, etc). Show directions to parking (Google Maps). Pay for parking directly in the mobile app. Make a reservation for a parking slot. Lock their car – make an alarm if a car moved without unlocking from the mobile app. See the parking space size (mid car/van/truck etc). Highlight free slots with LED lights. Get parking tickets with full information (show parking working hours, slot number, time and price for parking). Value Delivered Cost Savings: Serverless Architecture allows pay and scale as you go.

Technology Set Platforms: Embedded Linux, RTOS (Cypress WICED, Marvel IoT, Samsung IoT, realtek Ameb?) Operation systems: FreeRTOS, ThreadX, NuttX Supported programming languages: C, Bash, Python Clients Background The client is an IoT connection provider offering internet connectivity for any smart product, automatically and securely, right out of the box. Cirrent provides a global network of ZipKey Wi-Fi hotspots for connected products through partnerships with ISPs, Wi-Fi onboarding, product lifecycle management, and tools for ongoing support and Cirrent’s Wireless Connection Manager. Cirrent’s mission is to make Internet-connected products simple and secure for mainstream consumers, and to make it easy for companies to add value by connecting their products to the Internet. Customers of Cirrent include Electrolux, Smanos, Bose , Ayla Networks, and more. By 2020, there will be an estimated 30 billion devices connected to the Internet. The biggest impediment holding back this connectivity is that frequently these devices need a technician to get them running smoothly. Another problem is that most of the devices have no input-output interface and no keyboard. Business Challenge The client required the creation of a wireless configuration manager application that resolved such problems so that a user only has to plug in a device and wait for a few seconds for the device to connect automatically. The solution should be easily-installable and should establish a secure connection outside of the customer’s private network. Moreover, the client’s main goal was to create a system which would provide full-product lifecycle management and tools for ongoing support for any device. LINUX APP Our team contributed to the design and implementation of the Cirrent Wireless Connection Manager (WCM). The WCM helps devices connect instantly with no setup and no password, but with strong security. We created a robust, embedded, Linux-based software system that can be ported on an embedded platform with minimal effort, and that satisfies the time and memory constraints of current hardware from major vendors. The solution created a global network, in public spaces and homes across the world, designed to get instant cloud connection and product registration using Cirrent WCM. With Cirrent WCM, devices have the ability to access public Wi-Fi networks and get limited access to the internet (up to 10 kbit/sec). When a customer changes his or her network password the product will still be online. Moreover, WCM doesn’t need any hardware or proprietary software, it can be integrated into existing product lines at very little cost. Solution FIRMWARE We have integrated an installation package of WCM in the common build process for OpenWRT platforms and as a result, there is ready-to-use firmware which can be flashed into device directly or using OTA update.. Designing the same solution for RTOS platforms is planned in the next release, but for now, we provide a collected library which can be integrated into standard SDK for target platforms. Value Delivered Wireless Connection Manager protects customers, featuring encryption, certificates, and authentication. WCM is a robust Linux-embedded software that is fully maintainable over the long term and can be adjusted for different platforms so companies can instead focus on the breakthrough features for their products. WCM solution is compatible with all of the leading Wi-Fi chipsets, Linux, and real-time operating systems. WCM includes support not only for products with ZipKey but for products without this technology and allows a full connected product lifecycle for them too. With our solution, manufacturers can make better products and reduce costs, while consumers get a much better user experience. Automated functional and integration tests were created that validate the current version of the software and simplify porting of the system onto other platforms. Read More
