Software/hardware platform for sensors control and management with BLE/NFC conectivity.

Project information
Currently, communications infrastructure such as zigbee, wifi or internet connexions are needed by sensors to automated the collection of data. Sometimes, dataloggers are needed as additional equipment. This technology present some limitations in security aspects interactions a data representation. These limitations force the use of manual measures with a higher error. The aim of this project is the development of a low cost data reading which solves these limitations. This is a versatile, reliable and secure system which it does not require network installations. The device allows to read the data which come from sensors through mobiles using standard protocols of wireless communications NFC (Near Field Communications) or BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) to incorporate them to the cloud. It solves security communication issues improving the data presentation and saving manufacturing costs to display and interact with data.
Project results: 
The result will be a control and management hardware prototype with BLE/NFC connectivity and a smartphone application which will collect stored data by read by sensors and send them in a asynchronous way, combining information from several sensors towards an specific platform and to a cloud service. Furthermore, this application will draw graphics in situ without any connexion.
