Integrated App Design: Synergistic Approach
Between Graphics and Technology.

In the app development process, our methodology focuses simultaneously on creating an engaging graphical interface and the essential technological aspect of the system. Alongside these two components, we pay special attention to building a robust database capable of efficiently and accurately managing data from sensors.

DESIGN

The design phase focuses on hypothesizing how we want the IoT sensor to be built. In addition to aesthetic aspects, we define how the sensors will access the desired information. This phase influences the PCB design and determines the choice of components. We also consider how the sensors will interact with the environment, such as in the case of specific fluids and flows to be monitored.

HARDWARE
PROTOTYPING

Prototyping applies the design to the PCB and the selected components. We test the functionalities, addressing potential issues and iterating through different versions of the prototype. Our background in Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry allows us to approach data analysis scientifically, correlating the collected information with known and reproducible data. During this phase, we also initiate the process of re-arranging raw data for continuous interpretation.

TESTING

Graphic Development:
The graphic design begins with a thorough analysis of the desired functionalities of the app. We define clearly and in detail how users will interact with the interface, determining the various screens and their transitions. During this phase, we aim to create an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing design, ensuring a smooth and engaging user experience

Technological Development:
Simultaneously, we dive into the creation of the database that will serve as the repository for the data generated by the sensor. The database structure is carefully designed, including all the necessary tables to interpret and interpolate data consistently. Particular emphasis is placed on optimizing queries to ensure high performance and quick response times.

Floral Light:

The sensor monitors the ideal light for plant blooming.

Vegetative Light:

The sensor measures the ideal amount of light for the vegetative growth of plants.

Visible Light:

The sensor measures the total amount of available visible light.

PAR Light:

The sensor measures the total amount of light useful for plants.

Ambient Temperature:

Monitors the surrounding temperature.

Air Humidity:

Measures the humidity in the surrounding air.

VPD:

Regulates the amount of humidity released into the environment.

pH:

Controls the soil pH to ensure proper nutrient uptake.

NH Soil Nutrients:

Monitors the nutrients in the soil, ensuring proper nutrition for the plants.

Soil Moisture:

Constantly evaluates the soil moisture for proper irrigation.

Water Stress:

Identifies and manages plant stress caused by water scarcity.

Light Stress:

Detects situations of excess or lack of light to prevent plant stress.

Definition of Features:
A crucial phase is hypothesizing the desired features. We determine how data will be displayed in the app, considering charts, tables, and other visual elements. Similarly, we plan for process automation, notification sending, and data reprocessing to enhance the app’s usability. This process requires a clear vision of current and future user needs, helping to ensure smooth implementation in the following phases.

Future Vision:
Creating an app requires a long-term perspective. We consider emerging technological trends and evolving user needs to ensure that the app can grow and adapt over time. The future vision is essential to guarantee that the app remains cutting-edge and can meet the ever-changing needs of users.

Conclusion:
By integrating graphic design with technological development and the precise definition of features, we aim to create an app that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally advanced. This synergistic approach allows us to deliver a comprehensive, cutting-edge product, ready to meet user needs and adapt to future challenges.
