E-Locks
Amongst other things, SISO is a company specialized in sales of diverse types of brackets, hinges and locks. With their innovating E-Lock, they’ve now boldly decided to lead the charge in modernizing the traditional padlock, thereby once and for all solving the problem of lost keys.
Key findings
Challenge
SISO Contacted us with a vision of developing a smart iOS and Android based App for their newly developed, Bluetooth based padlock. The idea was an App from which the lock could be managed by a single touch. Furthermore, it was crucial to allow future E-Locks to be easily integrated into the App. Since the first E-Lock was already in production, there was an impending need for imangu to establish a co-operation with the factory, to ensure a smooth integration of the lock and the App.
Solution
We suggested to develop the App as a Native Application – that is two Apps developed from scratch to fit iOS and Android. We suggested this because it gave the best possibilities for integrating both existing and future locks; provided better safety; ensured top-quality and lowered the battery usage considerably. We also suggested to define the Bluetooth stack (the protocols which define the communication between Smartphone/Tablet and the lock), so that the factory was able to build the lock correctly in the first go, thus keeping innovation and production costs to a minimum
Outcome
imangu planned the project I close co-operation with both the customer and the factory in China. The result was a top-rated, smoothly functioning and user-friendly App, which has incorporated the best safety measures of today. The App enables owners of the Bluetooth padlock to manage it by a single touch, reducing the worry of lost keys to a quirky problem of the past.
