Application Notes
Testing Next Generation AC Controller with BLE Radio Technology - Success Story
The Company
A large, multi-national manufacturing company, which we will call XYZ, makes several appliances and industrial products. In this case study, XYZ had the goal of designing an improved electronic air conditioner (AC) controller for use in their AC units that are typically installed in hotels and motels.
The Problem
Previous and current models of XYZ’s AC controllers supported near-field communications (NFC). Although the NFC solution worked well, XYZ received clear feedback from maintenance engineers and technicians that the NFC solution required them to touch their smart phones to the controller on the AC unit every time they entered a room to test or configure an AC unit. In a large hotel, this wastes a lot of time, and it often required maintenance personnel to walk across hotel rooms, where floor paths may be blocked by luggage, rollaway beds, room service trays, small children, and so on.
