How many IoT technologies does Bluepixel works with?

Bluepixel Technologies, holds core expertise in developing IoT applications that work on different technical stacks like Bluetooth (Classic & BLE), Beacons, NFC, RFID, QR Code, Sensors, and WiFi.

How many industries Bluepixel has provided services for?

Healthcare, Wearable & Fitness, Automotive, Proximity Marketing, Asset Tracking, Sports, Food Industry, and IIOT.

Standard services provided by Bluepixel?

Bluetooth (BLE) App Development, Custom Bluetooth SDK Development, Android wear & Apple Watch Development, iBeacon/NFC/RFID App Development, Web/Cloud Development, Firmware & Hardware Development, Quality Analysis, and UI/UX Design.

Why Bluepixel is the best fit for developing projects for you?

We start with signing the NDA -> requirements gathering -> preparing the proposal- Upon approval of it we prepare milestone documents kicking off with designing -> functionality development -> sprint reviewing -> quality analysis -> deployment and maintenance. We take entire accountability for developing projects with a seamless procedure.

Want to hire dedicated developers for developing your product?

For long-term projects, we provide teams on a dedicated basis so that they can work only on your product more efficient manner.

How SDK development is helpful?

SDK (Software development kit) is an easy option for clients whose projects are already developed and who want to integrate one or two separate modules into an existing project.

Why developing apps in Native better than cross-platform technologies?

Developing apps in Native java for android and swift for iOS is better than cross-platform, the reason behind it is that cross-platform has many limitations usually is not reliable & has stability issues when the app has the integration with hardware devices in it. So it is better to develop apps using Native technologies.

Does Bluepixel signs NDAs and create MSAs?

Yes, We sign the NDAs, and the creation of MSAs is depending on the client’s request. As per their requirement, we draft MSAs for them.

On how many working models does Bluepixel works?

We work on three working models: 1) Fixed cost, 2) Hourly model, and 3) Dedicated model.

Does Bluepixel provides firmware and hardware services?

Yes, we have an experienced consultant for firmware and hardware services.

Does Bluepixel provide consulting solutions for IoT R&D?

Yes, we provide advice and consultation by doing R&D for people. We draft all the founded end results in report (document) format.

Who will hold the ownership after development?

You will have absolute ownership of the whole project, which includes all property rights, copyright NDA, source code, etc.

Does Bluepixel provide Quality Analysis?

Yes, we have an in-house team of Quality Analysts; they have good hands & experience in both manual testing and automation also.

Does Bluepixel works for different time zones across the Globe?

We work in different time zone and the team is also available for meet-ups at the convenience of the client.

How much support after the completion of the project Bluepixel provides?

We provide a minimum of one month of free support after the completion of the project apart from that it also depends on how long the project is and also the requirements of the client. So, Bluepixel is flexible in providing support in the client’s comfort zone.

Does Bluepixel have any maintenance plans for clients?

Yes we have maintenance plans but it totally depends on the efforts and duration requires maintaining the project. So plan varies from project to project.

Smart and Sustainable: IoT Cold Storage

Revolutionizing Cold Storage with IoT

In the era of technological advancements, IoT cold storage is transforming how industries monitor and manage perishable goods. Leveraging connected devices, this technology offers precision and efficiency, enhancing the storage and handling of sensitive products, particularly in the pharmaceutical and Agricultural sectors.

Key Benefits:

Real-Time Monitoring: Instant access to storage conditions, allowing for immediate adjustments.
Enhanced Efficiency: Automated systems reduce the need for manual checks and maintenance.
Reduced Waste: Better temperature control means fewer spoiled products.

Usage and Popularity:

IoT cold storage is increasingly popular in developed countries like the USA, Germany, and Japan, where the logistics and agriculture sectors are highly technologically integrated.

How IoT Cold Storage Works?

In IoT smart cold storage, several key technologies are employed to ensure efficient environmental monitoring, management, and control. These technologies primarily revolve around sensors, connectivity protocols, data processing, and analytics. Here are the main IoT technologies used in smart cold storage:

1. Sensors and Data Collection

Sensors are installed throughout the storage unit to monitor various parameters like temperature, humidity, door status, and gas levels.
Data from these sensors is collected continuously to ensure real-time monitoring.

2. Connectivity and Data Transmission

The collected data is transmitted to a central system using various connectivity protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or 5G.
Gateways aggregate data from multiple sensors and transmit it to cloud servers or central monitoring systems.

3. Data Processing and Analytics

Edge Computing processes data locally at the sensor or gateway level to reduce latency and bandwidth usage.
Cloud Computing stores large amounts of data and runs complex analytics and machine learning models to predict maintenance needs and optimize operations.
Machine Learning and AI analyze data to predict equipment failures, optimize energy usage, and improve overall efficiency.

4. Control and Alerts

The system can automatically adjust conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity) based on data analytics.
Alerts are sent to managers if parameters deviate from the set range, enabling quick response to potential issues.

Types of IoT Cold Storage and Their Technology

While the basic working of IoT cold storage is consistent, the size and scale of the operation determine the specific technologies used and their applications. Here's a look at different types of IoT cold storage based on size:

Small Cold Storages

Use Case: Small businesses, restaurants, grocery stores, small-scale farmers.
Technology Used: Wi-Fi, BLE; Temperature, humidity, door sensors; Edge computing.
Industries: Food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture.
Example: A small grocery store uses a Wi-Fi-enabled temperature sensor to monitor its refrigerated section.

Medium Cold Storages

Use Case: Medium-sized enterprises, regional distribution centers, and medium-scale food processing units.
Technology Used: Wi-Fi, Zigbee, NB-IoT; Temperature, humidity, door sensors, gas sensors; Edge and cloud computing.
Industries: Food processing, pharmaceuticals, logistics.
Example: A regional food distributor using Zigbee sensors and NB-IoT connectivity to monitor and control multiple cold storage units.

Large Warehouse Cold Storages

Use Case: Large enterprises, national and international distribution centers, and large-scale food processors.
Technology Used: LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, 5G; Comprehensive sensor networks; Cloud computing with advanced analytics.
Industries: National and international logistics, large-scale food processing, pharmaceuticals.
Example: A global pharmaceutical company using 5G and LoRaWAN to manage and monitor cold storage warehouses across multiple locations.
