A BLE connected app for commercial dishwashers

Working with such a well-established and brand-focused company like Classeq, we had to maintain their standards in their mobile application.

App & Hardware co-development
Due to tight timelines the mobile app and hardware were being developed at the same time. This meanscareful alignment was needed with internal teams to ensure re-work was kept to a minimum on a changing environment

OTA Firmware updates on the fly
Firmware update files were quite large, and needed to be handled carefully across a slow BLE connection, with multiple fail-safes and protections in place.

Presenting large data to users on a small screen
Multiple control buttons, readings, and live data all being presented at once

Large compatibility across iOS & Android
The app being available across multiple countries meant the need to cater for multiple devices including some older handsets

Offline mode considerations
Not all users would have a data connection, therefore we needed to manage locally the storage of data and utility later data connections to facilitate server comms

The app allows engineers and technicians to connect via Bluetooth to the dishwashers for a number of reaons, first being the initialisation and setting up of new installations. Then comes the maintenance and reporting; Error handling, malfunction analysis, low level control and testing, and data collection, which is then passed to a remote server for interrogation.
