Features
Read full description

The HALOG App is the mobile component of our integrated HALOG system that allows you to monitor the health status of high-value industrial products packed in the barrier bag, during storage or transport. Our IoT HALOG device, which can be installed in the barrier bag that covers these delicate mechanical or electrical parts for their optimal preservation, records environmental data inside the packaging over time and stores it. Using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology, the HALOG App allows you to acquire all the recorded data simply by getting close to the assets. How does the HALOG App work and what are its features in detail? - It displays a list of assets that are nearby, identified by proximity using BLE technology and uniquely identified by their code. - With one click, it downloads the data recorded and stored by the HALOG IoT devices installed on the detected assets. - It sends the data to the cloud platform. Here you will be able to query a dashboard that allows you to observe the trend over time of environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, brightness detected inside the packaging to understand if there have been deviations beyond the ranges that guarantee its correct preservation. - In addition to environmental data, it also allows you to detect if there have been inclinations of the packaging or impacts. Who is the HALOG App designed for? It is designed for all manufacturers of high-value industrial assets operating in sectors such as oil & gas, aviation, defense.
