Enhance your IoT products with smarter cloud connectivity

Beginning of 2022 — present

Native Mobile apps: Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. REST APIs, Websocket, JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol, SSDP and mDNS protocol

Homeowners expect to monitor and control their heat pumps remotely over a mobile app.

The goal is to provide end users extended functionality and insight through the mobile app, in addition to what the device already offers.

We created a modern mobile app that enables end users to access and modify their heat pump settings via the cloud.

• Native apps on iOS and Android control heat pumps in a variety of locations via cloud.
• User can remotely change their home heating temperatures and other functionalities, including time-based configurations.
• SSDP and mDNS protocols find the heating devices from the home network, registering these to the cloud.
• The app communicates with devices over the internet.
• All updates and changes made in the device appear immediately in the app, which uses the websocket for cloud-side communication.
• Reusable code library for future product development.

• Expanded functionalities of heat pump hardware that were not possible by just using hardware; the home climate is managed remotely from anywhere.
• Home-owners can manage different heat-pumps and other HVAC devices around multiple locations through the same app.
• Considering the customer’s need to add new devices and smart services in the future, the app architecture is structured in such a way that adding support for new devices to the app is a fast and straightforward process for app developers.

MS Azure, C#, .NET core, MS SQL, Azure Kubernetes, Docker

To make it possible to remotely manage and monitor all the client’s premium devices. The client needed the cloud solution to be stable and cost-efficiently scalable.

We built a central device and user data management system that integrates devices and applications on Microsoft® Azure Cloud.

• The online service our client provides is highly available, reliable and, most importantly, cost-efficient, thanks to the modular system architecture.
• A central device and user data management system that interacts with devices and mobile and web applications (efficient to manage)
• Thanks to Azure cloud service the client can outsource the system monitoring and maintenance service.

Improve and optimize the control and monitoring of remote ground-source heat pumps.

We improved the software architecture (migration of the solution to the cloud) and brought the system’s end-user experience to the next level.

• Thanks to online operational data available, heat pump installers can support homeowners’ heat pumps more easily and at a lower cost.
• Our client’s support call center load decreased significantly. A major part of complaint calls and emails ended immediately after improvements went live.
• Our client is now focused on building new products, instead of servicing the existing system – all at a much lower cost.

MS Azure, .NET, MVC, C#, Bootstrap 3, AngularJS, Toastr, jQuery

To develop a new service platform where 3D-object designers can securely order 3D printing services from print shops for their valuable intellectual property. The client needed the cloud solution to be stable and cost-efficiently scalable.

We built a central platform on Microsoft® Azure Cloud that hosts designers’ files, virtual print shops, and integrates 3D printers.

• The secure cloud service prevented unauthorized access to uploaded intellectual property.
• 3D print shop managers can connect their 3D printers to the cloud service and manage their virtual workshop remotely.
• Both 3D-design owners and printer operators can observe the printing process remotely.

Since 2018, Proekspert has guaranteed 24/7 online heat pump remote monitoring and control platform for a heat pump manufacturer’s technicians and end-users during and in between development cycles.

–

• 24/7 working solution ensured – even during development
  We deliver system improvements gradually in a way that the end-user experiences only an improving system without any downtime annoyances that sometimes come with system updates.
• Constantly monitored solution
  We configure monitoring tools that help us and the client observe system stability and react quickly when an incident occurs.
• SLA for 3rd level support
  Level 3 support with an SLA ensures that serious incidents are taken care of within an agreed timeframe.

C#, .NET, SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME)

Since 2016, Proekspert has, step by step, streamlined the electronics assembly company’s 24/7 working production tracking system and operator workflows into a stable, reconfigurable, and globally scalable IT infrastructure.

–

• 24/7 working solution ensured
  We deliver system improvements gradually in a way that system updates never interfere with the work of assembly lines.
• Scalable to group assembly factories in different regions
  The traceability system was gradually improved in a way that proved universal enough to implement in other Enics factories, as well.
