REI-Beacon-Project

Reyes Engineering, Inc. Beacon Project - Client Tracking

Reyes Engineering - Beacon Technology Project:

Event triggers based on client location within building

The Narrative:

  • Client enters through the door, beacon1 (tag: lobby) sends payload via bluetooth to phone

  • Phone uses payload to send another payload with location and other info to real-time database

    • Client can also send info about wanting drinks and what kind of drinks
  • Real-time API database sends notifications to employee phone/web app along with other information that is useful about the client

  • Repeat steps 1-2 when in the elevator and near the front door

    • When in the elevator, dashboard web app updates and shows client info about meeting and options for checking in

Application interface:

  • Client phone app
  • Employee phone app
  • Employee web app
  • Dashboard web app

Status of Project:

  • iOS applications: almost done/needs to be published
  • Employee app fully functional
  • Client app functional, needs beacon monitoring capabilities while app is killed
  • Android application: not started
  • Web applications: employee app not started/dashboard functional, needs to be published

What needs to be completed:

  • Migration of database from private google account to company google account (8)
  • Publishing iOS phone applications (9)
  • Maintaining iOS phone applications (10)
  • Creating Android applications client/employee (2)
  • Creating Employee web app (4)
  • Deploying dashboard web app (9)

  • Software developer with experience in iOS development
  • Backend developer with experience in constructing real-time databases using socket.io or has experience with Firebase

Other Important Information/Instructions:

  • maintenance of database/application is a must
  • maintain database through company google account
  • code will be published on private one drive
  • if not already done so, place beacons in front door, elevator, lobby
  • while dashboard is not published to the internet, I will send IP address daily to show what should be displayed on TV and tablet
  • programmers will need to read documentation on application and also need to become familiar with Estimote beacon technology
