Smart Locks – Proof of Concept Demonstration

In an industrial environment, it is common practice to restrict access to sensitive equipment and machinery to authorized personnel only. To enhance security and minimize the risk of unauthorized access or tampering, smart locks can be integrated into industrial panels, providing tight control and monitoring of access.

Smart locks represent a prime example of how embedded systems can be utilized to create secure and convenient access control solutions.

In this video, I will be presenting information on smart locks, its various applications and a demonstration of their proof of concept.

Smart Lock : BLE and Android Mobile App

Sudden rise of IoT and allied technology has shown a good promise to BLE enabled devices and its market! BLE enabled devices are the devices that can be controlled remotely from your smartphone or tablet by connecting them with Bluetooth with minimum power consumption. Hence the name BLE (Bluetooth low energy).

“FitBit” is a popular brand which is based on BLE technology. The fitness bands and watches tracks all track steps. The accelerometer takes the movement data and translates it into digital measurements, which it how Fitbits count your steps, and measure the distance you’ve traveled, calories burned, and sleep quality. Isn’t it cool? This might create an interest to explore and understand more about BLE and its technology!

What is BLE?

Bluetooth Low Energy hit the market in 2011 as Bluetooth 4.0. When talking about Bluetooth Low Energy vs. Bluetooth, the key difference is in Bluetooth 4.0’s low power consumption. With Bluetooth LE’s power consumption, applications can run on a small battery for four to five years. Although this isn’t ideal for talking on the phone, it is vital for applications that only need to exchange small amounts of data periodically.

Just like Bluetooth, BLE operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Unlike classic Bluetooth, however, BLE remains in sleep mode constantly except for when a connection is initiated. The actual connection times are only a few milliseconds, unlike Bluetooth which would take ~100 milliseconds. The reason the connections are so short, is that the data rates are so high at 1 Mb/s.

BLE’s M2M/IoT Applications:

  • Blood pressure monitors
  • Fibit-like devices
  • Industrial monitoring sensors
  • Geography-based, targeted promotions (iBeacon)
  • Public transportation apps
  • Asset tracking in industries
  • Locks

Smart Locks – Keyless entry!

Gone are the days where you had to worry about your lost keys and asset security. Smart Lock is an evolved lock wherein you don’t need keys or those cumbersome combinations to open it!

A smart entry system is an electronic lock that controls access to a building or door without using a traditional mechanical key.

Smart Lock uses a key which is cryptographic key that is operated from your android mobile phone. It is a secured way of using locks, thanks to BLE technology. One may ask, why the BLE locks are better than the traditional locks? Let me explain.

  1. Highly secure: Secure standards and predefined protocols that provide maximum security digitally are used along with the physical strength and durability of the product!
  2. Battery Life & Backup : low-battery notification that constantly notifies you of your battery status
  3. Remote Management through App

Bi-Embedly has recently developed a solution that caters to this problem and designed a Smart Lock that can operate on both Wi-Fi and BLE technology.

Every Lock has a secure and encrypted password which can be accessed by authorized login through mobile phone.

Pressure alarm system

This is the recent development of Bi-Embedly Technologies LLP.

A pressure alarm system for an industrial purpose. The device measures pressure from the pressure sensor within a range of 0-400 bar. It gives a standard 4-20mA output. This pressure is checked against the set-point set using the features on the panel unit. If the actual measured pressure drops below the set-point pressure value, the alarm is raised. It is a robust and accurate system.

IoT based Smoke Detector

A smoke alarm is critical for the early detection of a fire in your home and could mean the difference between life and death. Fires can occur in a variety of ways and in any room of your home. But no matter where or how, having a smoke alarm is the first key step toward your family’s safety.

Smoke detectors or smoke alarms are devices that can detect smoke in the air and therefore alert against any potential fire.

Every other day, we read news about some fire incident and deaths due to smoke suffocation etc. Here’s a news I read in yesterday’s newspaper.

Every year, millions of fires occur worldwide and a large proportion of these happen in homes. Many injuries and fatalities are also caused by these home fires, which could have been minimized had many of these homes installed smoke detectors. The difference between life and death can often be just a few minutes, which is what smoke detectors are designed for. It is estimated that smoke detectors reduce the fatality risk by 50%.

Here at Bi-Embedly we are aiming at a solution which will alert the user of a potential fire and smoke in the home/other premises. A Wi-Fi based smoke detector that detects smoke, sends data on a cloud, can also send notifications in form of messages to relatives and ambulance/Fire Brigade nearby to the smoke detector location. Here is a close look at the product.

Steps to connect and use:

  1. Power on the smoke detector. Initial beep indicates it’s turned on.
  2. Open network options in your laptop or desktop. Smoke_Detector network should be visible.

Wi-Fi settings and HTTP settings for server end-point are configurable

After the configuration, Open the cloud end-point dashboard and you will be able to see the device online and the status from the sensor. Sensor output in ppm and also the status of the alarm.

Using the cloud potential, you can also add some custom rules and logic for the optimum use and management of cluster of such sensors.

Motor fault analysis using IoT and machine learning

Induction motors are most widely used across all the industries. Tracking the performance of the motors is crucial to perform preventive maintenance, fault and breakdown analysis, and predictive maintenance.

Bi-Embedly Technologies has built a demo for #contineo, showing the live monitoring of critical parameters(current,temperature,vibration) of induction motor.

The Contineo platform enables its remote monitoring, reports generation, fault identification and preventive/predictive maintenance.
