INDUSTRY: FOOD AND BEVERAGES
Plaato designed a 100% non-invasive digital airlock that monitors the beer fermentation process. It measures the amount of CO2 that's released and sends this information to the cloud, giving brewers up-to-the-minute stats on yeast activity and temperature right on their tablet or smartphone.
Using data from previous batches, Plaato can estimate the specific gravity of the beer, giving brewers an accurate reading on the alcoholic content of their brew.

Plaato used Blynk apps for iOS and Android to check their assumptions and iteratively build more sophisticated product every day.
Having the app prototype from the day one dramatically changed the way they were able to test the product with first users. Quick Iterative approach is crucial for any innovative product like this
Together with Plaato, Blynk's engineering service team, Blynk.Studio, developed custom functionality to match the product and business requirements.
Blynk design team used Plaato brand guidelines to create branding theme which was applied to final version of the apps.
Plaato apps for iOS and Android were published to App Store and Google Play ready to be downloaded by their new users
All Plaato devices are connected to a dedicated secure and reliable Plaato Cloud Server.
Drag-n-drop mobile application builder was used to create initial prototype, transform it into final user-experience, and become the final product
Blynk hardware API for ESP8266 chip was used for WiFi communication between devices, Blynk.Cloud, and mobile apps
A dedicated Plaato Business Cloud Server was launched to keep "all the dots" connected, store data, and provide user management.
A special Plaato-branded theme was applied to the apps together with app icon, company logo, fonts, and brand colors
Plaato iOS and Android apps were published to App Store and Google Play and transferred under Plaato ownership
Blynk.Inject allows new customers to easily connect Plaato airlock to their home or office WiFi network
Blynk.Faces are designed for on-the-fly updates of apps UI without re-publishing.
Blynk.R module is used to register new Plaato users, password management, transactional emails and user profiling
Firmware over-the-air updates are used to update units after they have been delivered to customers
Tarje Sandvik, Developer at Plaato
To keep the Plaato App interactive while the Airlock is in power-save mode, we needed a touch of custom development. Blynk.Studio engineers have developed a special server plugin which allowed the Airlock to work seamlessly in power-save mode. The development took a bit longer than planned, but did not set us back.
Also, due to the delay in production, we had time to add newest functionality from Blynk which was just announced. It significantly improved the end-user experience when handling multiple devices.
