kurts toolbox MVP

PROJECT

The basic idea of kurt's toolbox was to rent a tool as quick as possible and only for the time you really need it. We designed, developed and built the hardware and software MVP for these rental stations.

CHALLENGE

The object was to allow the user who needs a specific tool right now to do this as easily as possible and via an app. This should be guaranteed by an absolutely safe communication between a station and the backend, so all tools are secure.

Control of up to 64 compartments within a rental station
Network connection to the backend via LTE, so only electricity is required
For worldwide availability it should be able to transfer the stations and distribute them globally
Development of an IoT-based hardware solution to control doors and compartments via a secure network
Development of a station controller to manage status of all compartments and doors

RESULT

For this comprehensive project, based on microcontroller architecture and backend technologies, hardware and backend developers have built a "smart" tool rental station directly in our company. No three months, and we were able to send the first functional prototype to “kurts”.

Custom designed, network connected door locks for internal communication based on Arduino microcontrollers
Individual station controller for an API - backend interface and is connected to the IoT door locks
Hardware firewall for secure routing between station controller and backend system
Admin interfaces and monitoring of the location and also status of the stations
Assembling, cabling and setting up stations at Frozen Donkey production halls
