Developing Sensors Management App

Abstract

Nome Oy needed a management system for their sensors, which refer to both sensors in stock and those belonging to their customer. The company wanted to keep track of the sensors’ data and update their status. This thesis aims to create a system to manage the data flow of the sensor and monitor the ownership as well as the logistic process of sensors delivery. The work was commissioned by Nome Oy. The working process started with research on current data storage, data flow management, and sensor monitoring system. Next, the system was designed and implemented based on the result of the research. A database was created to store all information about the sensors. Then, a system was built to manage data flow, update sensor data, and interact with sensors’ owners. MQTT is the main transmission protocol for sensor data. As a result, at the end of this thesis, the system passed the testing process and was running on the company server for management purposes. We create one private website for monitoring sensors on the client-side and one web application for database interaction graphically. A mobile application has been created for monitoring sensors with BLE advertisements.
