A proprietary hardware design & custom software integration that called for out-of-the box thinking and a leadership role in translating the startup's brilliant vision into reality
Introduction
A promising startup approached us with a brilliant idea to develop and sell a wearable gadget to measure workplace safety and happiness. We were asked to develop an end-to-end software solution that integrated with custom designed third party hardware. What was needed was not just integration of software and custom hardware designed by a third party vendor, but a leader that built business cooperation, trusted partnership and a successful team that delivered. We led it from the front.
What we did…
Developed Minimum Viable Product
Embraced the role of tech lead among all the three stakeholders and helped clarify various functionalities listed by the startup team.
Established a smooth workflow with the hardware vendor
We easily understood the technical challenges of hardware development and established a smooth workflow with the hardware partner.
Automatically connect a non-UI custom hardware device to seamlessly connect to wi-fi routers
BlueFi technology to establish secure WiFi connectivity between hardware and router
Establishing secure connectivity between cloud based servers and proprietary hardware behind corporate firewalls
Secure web socket communication for hardware software data exchange
Securing data in custom hardware
Secure encryption using shared secrets methodology for Data Storage and Transmission
Convert a deluge of daily data into useful insights
ML enabled Management Recommendation Engine that generated suggestions based interpreting the collected data
Monetising large data sets
AI enabled Data Decision Engine for providing deeper and useful insights related to workplace safety for consumption by various stakeholders in the society including government agencies, insurance and so on.
The Results
A first-of-its-kind wearable technology that measures workplace safety and happiness based on unprecedented data across a variety of workplaces in the UK - a historical step in human care. Proudly built by Rhibhus.
