A BEACON APP LET'S MAKE IT
As an experienced app developer, we have a lot of experience in developing apps that use the Beacon technology. Using Beacons gives you unique advantages and endless application possibilities for any company or building. On the page you can read more about the Beacon technology and our latest Beacon app development called 'Darwin'.
DARWIN: THE FUTURE OF BUILDING AUTOMATION
With the 'Darwin' app we have used Beacons that ensure that different devices communicate with each other. Darwin is an IoT app that building automation takes it to the next level. With the Darwin app, users have control over different areas within the new state-of-the-art Vanderlande building in Veghel. Darwin uses advanced beacon technology so that the app immediately knows where the user is. Darwin is the advanced link between the IoT and the users, without IoT many of the app's functionalities would not be possible.
THE FUNCTIONALITIES OF A BEACON APP
The application possibilities of a beacon app are very diverse. For retailers in particular, beacons are excellent tools to use. For example, the Beacon technology can be used in an innovative and interactive way as in-store navigation, to measure shopping behavior, to pay, to send personalized offers or to support, for example, a marketing app.
- Applicable on Android & iOS
- Range from 15 to 100 meters
- Bluetooth based technology
- No scanner needed anymore
- User-friendly for the user
- Many implementation options
- Longer range than NFC
- The technology continues to develop
THE POSSIBILITIES OF BEACON TECHNOLOGY
A beacon is a small beacon that can send and receive signals using Bluetooth technology. This makes it possible to determine the location of a smartphone or other mobile device with centimeter accuracy.
In addition to being able to see the location of the devices, the beacon also sees exactly where you are. When you are near a beacon, a function in an app can be activated. This offers a number of possibilities for marketing purposes. In particular shops, events, airports and museums. If you are near a certain store, you can get personalized advertisements.

BEACON VS. IBEACON
The terms 'beacon' and 'iBeacon' are sometimes used interchangeably. To avoid this confusion, we provide the following explanation: iBeacon is the brand name of the beacon technology and is platform independent. Not every BLE beacon is therefore necessarily an iBeacon. Beacons can be used on all mobile devices that have (smart) Bluetooth.
There are different types of beacons on the market with great differences in quality and range. The average beacon costs between 10 and 30 euros, depending on the specifications and brand. A well-known brand that uses the iBeacon technology is Estimote. We used Eddystone in the development of the myBeam app.
